Meet Ameer Ali

Meet Ameer Ali... He plays basketball for Morgan State University... He's the one in the dark blue uniform... Morgan State recently got their asses handed to them by Oklahoma in the NCAA Tournament... With OU up by 24 points late in the game, Ali decides to flip Oklahoma's Blake Griffin, who is the pillar of the #2-seed Sooners team and who is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft (if he leaves school), over his back... Griffin is the one in the white uniform with his legs pointed toward the rafters...

Unbelievable...

Neither one of them had the ball... The ball was nowhere near either of them... I don't know what led Ali to launch Griffin, but I can't think of any circumstances that would make this behavior acceptable in an athletic competition...

Ali was rightfully ejected from the game...

You can watch the video here...

The Sooners won the game, 82-54, and Ali should thank his lucky stars that Griffin was not injured... Ali might not have made it off the court before the Sooner fans in attendance dismantled him...

I don't care about either team, so don't mistake me for a Sooner fan in an uproar over my favorite player being flung through the air and slammed on a hardwood floor... I'm just a sports fan in an uproar over some of the worst sportsmanship I've seen at this level in quite some time...
