“He was laughing at me and he hurt my wittle feelings. I work hard everyday and it’s not easy to make those tough foul calls constantly, and Timmy Duncan was laughing at me. Wahhhhh.” Joey Crawford, NBA Referee (author embellishment!!)

Joey Crawford called 2 technical fouls on Tim Duncan within a 3-minute time span, while Duncan was sitting on the bench. The second technical of course means the player is ejected (and pays a hefty fine). To earn the 2nd foul Duncan didn’t actually speak, but was laughing, ostensibly at Joey Crawford’s latest bad call. But it could also be that he was laughing because his bench mate had said something funny, and he wasn’t even thinking about Joey Crawford at all at the time. It could actually be that Tim Duncan, unlike many Americans these days, actually still posseses a sense of humor.
