Hunter Dickinson still living up to his name
- Thread starter Mike-McD
- Start date
Wasn't the first time and won't be the last. He deserved to be booted and even suspended for another game or two (we know that won't happen).
He’s a complete asshole. Idc how good of a player he is. Self, and their fans, will look the other way as they do with all their jerk/criminal players.
That said, all I can say to Dook is karma’s a bitch.

It’s probably the hockey player in me, but I can’t believe no one has taken a swing at him yet.
He was ejected. He took a baby shot with his size 18. It was stupid, but no damage. Should have been ejected. I would have gotten in his face and said is that all you got, a kiddy kick. You are a punk and nothing else. Then I would have stood at scorers table saying get him off the bench. He is ejected. Take his sorry rear end off the bench. No need to retaliate on a 7 footer not willing to fight but do some sort of punk move like that.
Dickerson got throw'd out for being a typical Kansas b$tch @Nooneputsbabyinacorner.
Yeah, it was clear to me he knew exactly what he was doing. He was looking through legs at the Duke player, then kicked him in the face and pushed off. It was the right call. I can't believe they actually kicked him out of the game, but it was the right call.
And if I'm Hunter Dickinson, I'm changing my attitude quickly at this point. It is clearly to me, his reputation precedes him at this point. He's not gonna get a favorable whistle anymore. Time to get control of the temper tantrums. Whistles are coming. Fouls are coming. Get ready for it. Otherwise, technical fouls and flagrant fouls, and possibly getting kicked out of more games will be coming.
And to think at the time that Dickinson left Michigan that Calipari wanted him here. Thank God we didn't get this guy. Pretty much every player that Calipari recruited here was a top notch, 1st class person. But not Dickinson. Like I said, thank God we didn't get this embarrassment of a human being.
Dude is an arse hat. Can you imagine how insufferable he'd be playing for Hurley??
Why toss him when they let Christian Latterner do worse when he without any doubt kicked Timberlake in the head.
Just call them all not just selectively

What a punk move, either do what you wanted to do and be a total ass but don’t play like this was an accident or try to get away with it. Just like tripping someone on the court.
Thinking Dick Hunter may be my least favorite player since Grayson Allen. Dude might be worse actually.
That was over 30 years ago. And he stomped on Timberlake's chest. Certainly not defending Laettner! But, one was a stomp by an NCAA golden boy, the other was a kick to the face by a known goon. Just saying, it's hard to compare two different foot infractions three decades apart.
This guy has no career in the NBA so sticks around college basketball being just a low class thug.
He isn't worse but he is a photo finish for second
I still wish Timberlake had jumped off the floor, tackled Laettner, and started pounding him. Then they would both have been ejected and we win and go to the FF.
I thought it was flagrant before he ever hit the floor when he put his elbow in that dudes face. Guy's a complete punk and I'm so glad he didn't sign with us.
I don’t think he does those things here. Not with Cal or CMP. They are both proud that they developed the person.
Kansas is full of thugs and criminals just like Tennessee. When you go there you gotta know what you’re entering into. The culture at those places is win at any cost and it filters down to the players.
One happend over 30 years ago when you had to draw blood in the sport. Not saying that was the right way, btw. Laettner should've been tossed. So should Dickinson. If you make purposeful contact with a player in the face, you should be gone. Uncalled for. And if you try to injure someone (like Laettner did) you should be gone.
Just because Laettner didn't get tossed when he should've, doesn't mean tossing Dickinson was "soft" (which I've seen miserable KU fans say). Sick of people not doing the right thing, and was glad to see the officials (even though they were favoring Kansas- and that was clear with the THREE makeup ticky-tacks after they tossed Dickinson) do the right thing- though they would've been drawn and quartered by half that crowd if they didn't.
And maybe Aminu wouldn’t have been a total shell the next season too. People forget he was on a good trajectory and Laettner effectively ended him
If that "ended him", he was never going to be much! Seriously, that "ended him"??? 😂
I hate somebody hasn't. I'm not a man of violence, but sometimes....people need an ass kicking to set them straight (whether that be metaphorical or literal). I think Mike Tyson said it best:
"Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it."
Now I'm a man of faith and science, so I'm not going to overly defend that. BUT, we have societal norms for a reason. Unfortunately, people think they can say or do anything now and be protected. Social media "It's just a prank bro" or saying the most abject ugly things for "shock value" has gotten way out of hand. And it results in turds like Dickinson and Allen.
I could swear that Laettner stomped on Timberlake’s chest.
I would love for him to pull that crap next year. They don't play that overseas.
