Memphis Grizzlies Would Have Received More Harsh Punishment Than Lakers, Rockets

When it comes to the Memphis Grizzlies, the basketball world either overlooks them or unjustly crucifies them.

The biggest headline of the weekend in the NBA was the altercation that occurred in the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets. After much investigating, the league distributed punishments to players Rajon Rondo, Brandon Ingram, and Chris Paul.

With Rondo spitting on Paul prior to hitting him with a haymaker, only a three-game suspension was handed down to the Lakers’ point guard.

The spitting aspect should have earned Rajon Rondo at least a 10- or 20-game suspension.
