Mike Gorman getting chalked etc.

[Shawn Niles]

Wow.. I guess I'm in the minority because I see no issue with it. Jordan used to do similar things in Chicago. In a way, having KG do that kind of adds to where this team is. Maybe because it reminds me of seeing Mike do it all those years and it's a reminder of how good those teams were.
I also don't think Gorman has any issue with it. I think that him covering up with a towel and other things is him just playing along. Him and Kevin are just having fun going back and forth. I've been to 4 games this year so I've been able to watch KG and Gorman interact a little bit beyond what you see on camera and believe me there is no issue. It looks like they have a pretty good time joking around with each other. I'm talking about things you don't see on camera... like when Kevin is at the table waiting to enter the game or some such thing.
 
I think you all are blowing it out of proportion. But again.. like someone else said... I guess you need to find something to complain about when the team is 14-2.
