Damn, you mean there are two? I thought Nicholson was the only one.
I almost always root against Indiana because of Reggie Miller. He's one of several great players that whines & complains too much. I like the guys who let their playing talk for them. Not that I mind the players talking to the officals..... it's when they are complaining constantly instead of talking.... and I don't mind a good complaint when it's needed - You know what I mean, the kind they give technicials for. At the risk of upsetting a die hard Laker fan, Kobe, perhaps the best player in the NBA, is a top notch complainer, he believes he NEVER fouls and is always fouled when he shoots... Sorry about that, but that's the way I see it.
That could be an interesting topic for discussion - great players that complain too much and the officials reactions. It makes me smile just thinking about it. Wallace doesn't dare open his mouth, Malone gets that kindergarten look like the other little boy stole his toy.... and it goes on & on.
