Video: Delonte West T’d Up for Giving Gordon Hayward a ‘Wet Willie’

Do mush styles vary by region? Here in the northeast, we’re more connoisseurs of the 4 finger mush with the thumb tucked.

Some western native american tribes taunt rival tribes with yelping/howling like a coyote. You could call it no contact coyote mushing. Any rate, it would be cool if Delonte started doing that.

Diesel said that in his first comment. Scroll up.

Agree to that. It’s definitely not a sure thing for either gentlemen. Delonte could go on to play another 6+ years in the League and make himself 30+ mill and be just fine for the rest of his life. Hayward could become injured or have a psychotic break himself and go no where in life.
This was a emotional response during competition between two males. I’m not surprised or disappointed, but I do have more respect for Hayward than Delonte after that incident. Do you know how hard it is to walk away from another man whom is trying to incite you? It’s incredibly hard, and bodes well for Hayward that he has the diligence to just walk away in a circumstance like that. Sounds to me like you might actually have more respect for Delonte. Which is fine, I just don’t understand it. DW took things to an extra-circular platform while Hayward did his best to keep it civil and not become any sort of a distraction for his team.
Also do you have any video proof of Hayward inciting something earlier in the game or are you just assuming that something must have occured?

Looks like some commenters are having an “altercation” of their own. I find it amusing and perhaps a little sad that people are here commenting about how Hayward is a punk. You people sound so macho and tough like D-lo I guess, and clearly are above everyone who thinks Gordon did the right thing by walking away.
I guess Gordon didn’t think it was worth getting into it with someone over; worth getting upset and putting the game in jeopardy, especially considering Utah is fighting tooth and nail to get into the playoffs like they should be doing.
I didn’t watch the game, but apparently he won it for them so kudos to him. The “coward” won I suppose. Funny, huh? I don’t even like the Jazz at all, and I hope they don’t receive my Warrior’s lottery pick! All of this being said though, however, I wouldn’t want to fight Delonte West. Lol, dude is crazy and built and I bet he’s whooped some ass back in his day. He tried fighting Von Wafer when he was in Boston. Guy’s a bit of a loose cannon, and I applaud Gordon for handling it the way he did. I don’t think he’s a coward (though perhaps his long hair and babyface would make you like to believe he is), and he ended up winning the game, but if I were ever to put money on someone to win a West-Hayward grudge match (fight), I’d definitely put my money on Mr. West. I respect both of them. I wish I had watched it now since people seem to be saying Hayward was cheap-shotting throughout the game; as if Delonte wasn’t… and he clearly bumped him prior to the “wet willie” that I came here to see.

West calls GH a “b–ch white boy. Think of the suspension GH would have received had he called Delonte West a racial slur?

Airsmith
It’s cowardice to provoke a reaction and then pretend to be innocent.
You probably think that’s good strategy. If you think Delonte just went wild on Hayward for no reason, then what can I say? You probably don’t know jack.
They had a beef. Some blows were exchanged, which you can even see on the replay. Delonte responded how he responded. I never said it was “smart” or “brave” I said it was what it was.
What I called cowardice was pretending like he didn’t know what happened. Just like everyone who does that in the NBA. It’s stupid and I hate it. I hated it when Rodman did it. I don’t like it when Artest does it. But most people think that’s all cool.
I disagree.

LOL, I have never slapped a person before. If I did I would expect to have my ass kicked.
That’s your “real life” I guess. I have only been in 2 fights in my life. So in my “real life” physical violence isn’t a top option.
1. Don’t flirt with my girlfriend. Sh*t went down.
2. I got blindsided, brass knuckle punched for absolutely no reason. I was by myself, and their was this dude and 20 of his friends. I walked away just like Hayward did after this. I spit my teeth and blood on his shoes and then just slowly walked away and figured if they wanted to keep coming after me then I would have to fight, but you do what is smart. It was prudent for me to walk away. They didn’t follow me which was good because I wouldn’t be here today.
Soooooo… Any video of Hayward provoking Delonte?
T-Money, Allen: So what should Hayward have done in your professional opinions?

Haywood was not being the “bigger man” . . . he didn’t want any part of DWest, which is fine, but let’s call it like it is.

Whatever view one takes on this I know one thing for certain: If Delonte stuck his finger in my ear I would bolt for the shower big time. You just don’t know where that digit has been recently.

Bike, FTW.
Your right AP, I had to start it from the very beggining and watch closely, but your correct he hits him somewhere in the neck area. I couldn’t tell if it was on accident. It looked pretty hard to be on accident. Delonte did take it to the next level. It looks as if Hayward is trying to just get back down the court and Delonte is trying to stop his movement. Doesn’t mean it was okay to put his bow in his face, but Delonte is asking for that if he’s trying to stop the offensive player from moving on the court by putting his face and body into him.
Either way what it comes down to is neither man “won” between the two. Hayward showed ability that many men don’t have, and that is, to walk away. That is great thing to have from a guy on your team. Delonte showed he isn’t scared of anyone…

I didn’t say Delonte was innocent.
I said they were both involved in something, one player pretended he didn’t know what was going on.
That’s it. It wasn’t a “smart move.” It was a slick move. Some people like that. Cool.

Definitely smart though. It’s smart on every level.
A. Getting his ass kicked
B. Getting a technical
c. Losing the game for your team
The wet willie was the slick move lol.

^A willie none the less!^
Or “smush” or a “mush” whatever have you.

Allen, I’m not really going to get into this, but this doesn’t sound like your logical self. You’ve jumped to a lot of conclusions which you usually don’t do. Delonte has attacked other players in the league, and he has a history of skipping his meds. I don’t know why you’d just assume Hayward did something to start it. He could have, but to just assume he did something isn’t right. I watched what you said and I couldn’t see anything about elbows, or flopping. This is jostling for position you see in EVERY game.
I must ask, why are you going so hard to protect West on this one?

@Allenp Lol, why are you insulting me? Did I clearly refer to you? Did I use your name in my comment as you did mine? I’m not mad at you or anything or trying to insult you or say you , in PARTICULAR, are wrong, lol, my comment had nothing to do with you at all.
Your comment was probably just one of the ones that I read before commenting. Just because you used the word coward, and I used the word coward does not mean I was taking a shot at you. If anything I was referring to all people who were here arguing about whether Hayward is this or that, or whether he is right or wrong, or West is wrong. All I was trying to highlight was how people were calling Hayward a punk or coward, though I’m sure most of the people on here making that comment don’t personally know him yet they deem him cowardly or less than a man based on this one incident, or because of the way he looks DESPITE KNOWING SO LITTLE ABOUT HIM, yet they pass judgement upon him.
Are you saying that I am a coward, just because I used “coward” in my comment? You assumed I was taking a shot at you, however, let me make it abundantly clear that I was not taking a shot at anyone. I just am perplexed how the majority of people can so easily pass judgement on another, and make statements so negatively about a person they don’t know. They passed judgement based on ONE incident essentially. I don’t understand why everyone feels that all their comments have to be a statement about who they are, or who other people are. I suppose people can’t make casual comments, because anything someone says has to be a statement that reflects who they are as a person.
If a man is convicted of stealing, does that make him a thief? What if that was the only time in his life he stole something, and his reason was nothing more than the fact that he was desperate. I certainly would not consider him a thief, however, if he had been in trouble multiple times with the law for stealing, then I suppose I would believe him to be a thief. In this incident people called Gordon a coward based on the fact that he walked away, without taking into consideration the fact that it was a close game, a game that was important to the Jazz because they are trying to break into the playoffs, and the possibility that perhaps, just perhaps he walked away so he could remain in the game without hurting his team. He didn’t feel compelled by how others would perceive him for walking, he didn’t feel compelled to be selfish and let his ego get in the way.
Do you belief that I condone cowardice? I don’t, I wasn’t even slamming West. I never even claimed Gordon to be the innocent party in this incident, and Delonte the guilty one. I read what Delonte had to say about the incident, and I believe both are guilty. He said it himself that he believed they were both “warriors” “battling one another. I never took a side, I only commented how sad it is that people can make judgements so rashly and instantaneously.
Upon reviewing my comment, I can see how you could see that I was taking a shot at you, since I used quotation marks around coward, however I was just using a word that I knew someone had used to represent the majority of how people felt. If I ever want to make a comment about someone in particular, I address them directly as I have. I’m sorry if you felt insulted by my comment, that was not my intention.

So Lakeshow, basically you’re soft? Haahahhaa

Jukai I didn’t assume. I watched the freaking video. Watch the video. I outlined exactly what happened. All you have to do is watch it from the beginning.
And Airsmith if I attacked you unprovoked then I apologize.

I watched the video, Allen. You’re making this ish up. There was never an elbow, just Delonte trying to tangle Hayward up and Hayward pushing off with his left arm. This happens almost every time two players run down the court. I mean, almost EVERY time, there are two players extending their arms to block the other players.
Maybe Delonte was PO’d that after he bumped Hayward, Hayward wobbled back, but c’mon man… There was no ‘visible’ reason for Delonte to punk Hayward like that. Maybe something happened off camera, maybe Hayward said something, but from what I see, the same thing that happens on every single basketball play happened then (NO elbow, a minor flop) and Delonte freaked out and mushed Hayward.
You’re seeing what you want to see. And I don’t even know WHY you want to see this, unless you like Delonte or hate Hayward.

He didn’t even turn around he just raised his arms and walked away. If he actually wanted to fight he would have at least turned around and looked at him.
For the record, I think he did the right thing, though.
