    Deke's beatdowns (a long list)

    I don't remember the Jordan hit. I'm surprised the league didn't suspend Deke for life.

    Hahaha, wasnt the day after the throat ache on Yao, the April Fools joke that Yao was done for the rest of the season?? Good times.... :)

    Plus how many of those people he teamed up with later. About half of those players.

    TRue...but looks like that hit to his current teammate was the most minor one with the least damage compared with the other hits. :)

    His list should start with Ming, and end with it.

    Quite a day's work.

    I also liked this one:

    Jan. 30, 1997: Antoine Carr, knocked senseless

    What was the record (W-L) in which said events took place. A true enforcer ensures the win.
