kids watch the NBA.... so you can't go around flashing gang signs.

but seriously if Paul was in cali, and he did that, some serious trouble would go down.

Obviously it boils down to if you want it to be a gang sign, then it is. I find it hilarious though that not only do you think its that, but your basis is because of the way he was walking towards him.

partially. dude got right up and didnt even show him the respect to face him when he threw the sign.


but partially cos thats what the exact sign is.... why else would he be fined? why? what other meaning would deserve that? why?

i didn't realize paul was a gang member, specially from the Bloods.

oh dear, what ever shall we do?

i have family in boston and they just said that they think its a sign to represent the city. but whatever.

deshawn stevenon getting fined though? lol for what? the "i can't feel my face" thing?!!

btw, one of my favourte players jose calderon also puts up that sign after hitting a three. in fact many raptors even chris bosh do it!

now we all know all the raptors must be gang members. they're soft image is just something they fake to not get caught by david stern and his cronies. excuse me while I gag!

It's "You can't see me" john cena does it in the WWE. Nothing to do with gangs. Yeah, that is pretty dumb that he was fined.

And yeah, calderon does it too. I take back my point on that is why he was fined. Weird stuff going on. Pierce throws up the sign, so he must be a blood. Calderon does it, it means he it a three. The league can't be that ignorant, can they?
