Pulling a Metta World Peace?! Vince Carter was ejected during the Mavs/Thunder game last night for committing a flagrant foul 2. He elbowed Steven Adams in the head. Some fans don’t think he deserved to be ejected and others do. He did apologize after the game.
Check out the video & what Carter had to say about it after…
Via ESPN:
Carter intentionally hit Thunder rookie center Steven Adams in the head with a forearm shiver, retaliating after Adams perhaps inadvertently elbowed Carter in the face.
After the officials reviewed the play with 4:01 remaining in the third quarter, Adams was assessed a technical foul and Carter was given a flagrant 2, which meant automatic ejection.
“More than anything, I just want to apologize to the fans of both sides,” said Carter, a 16-year veteran. “You know there’s no need for it. They’re already trying to clean up the game of basketball, make it fun for fans to watch. It’s just one of those things where you’re caught up in the moment of a big game, whatever, whatever and you react to a reaction that was done to you.”
