To be fair, a quick google of "Anthony Mason thug" returns plenty of results indicating that his dad was viewed that way by many peeps out there during his playing days. Having that stigma automatically attach to his son is premature and unfair, but his dad did have a certain "Detroit Pistons Bad Boys" way of playing the game that could reasonably lead some to use that tag in a way that has nothing to do with his race.


Monty is racist piece of trash and that statement is not shocking. He lives in Montgomery...Im sure he still wishes they used the hoses and dogs down there.

Yeah I get that's where this will go no matter what I say but was trying to at least add some discussion of his actual hoops playing style and legacy in for the thread as well, didn't mean to interrupt the Moral Superiority Iron Bowl match up here.

From what I remember of Auburn in our game and what I saw of them last year they didn't seem to be a very physical team and the guards while quick, talented and pretty good scorers, were also short and not very muscular - fair take? Pearl likes to play up tempo but to the extent you might add a little "thuggery" to the backcourt in the sense of physical defense and hustle plays seems like it'd be a welcome addition, no?
