If i ever see you at a tournament and we play ill make sure i act just like that and well see how you take it.
People have different responses toward this. Not everyone will try to throw hands.
Nah, that's just a bullshit excuse for people to amuse themselves, being an asshole and laying hands on somebody is still just being an asshole and laying hands on somebody.
Oh I'm not denying that he was being an asshole. I just believe he dialed it up for what he perceived as entertainment.
People saying shit over tens of thousands of miles away over the internet is one thing.
Having someone less than a foot away from you openly mocking you, getting in your face, and putting is hands on you is entirely different.
Fight or Flight responses are very real and I do not recommend that anyone actually try to pull what Champ did on anyone IRL, even if it was to "put on a show."
Honestly doesn't matter if its the net or right in front of you as disrespect is disrespect.
If kbr told champ to chill with the hands he probably would've done so. Unless champ had the intention to actually try and piss kbr off to the point where he would want to swing on him. However I doubt that was his intention.
My perspective on this is from the viewpoint of trash talk and physical play in playground basketball. Some people will dish it back all day while others have their limits to it and may swing. Probably can file kbr under those who can handle it.
Also I'm not denying the fact that it can lead to fight or flight responses. Just saying that people have different reactions toward it in competitive settings.
