Moderators AHF Posted February 13, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/555159/sports/basketball/pba-bans-tnt-import-johnson-for-cursing-league-officials Quote The Philippine Basketball Association has ruled to ban Tropang TNT import Ivan Johnson from playing in Asia’s first professional basketball league after after getting involved in an altercation with league commissioner Chito Narvasa on Saturday afternoon. Johnson was also fined P250,000. Johnson was ejected in the second quarter of the TNT-Meralco game after incurring his second technical foul for disrespectfully addressing Narvasa. Johnson, who was whistled for a flagrant foul penalty one on Bryan Faundo, uttered some unpleasant words towards the official's table which sent Narvasa on his feet. "For addressing the Commissioner with profanities and showing utter disrespect for authority, Tropang TNT import Ivan Johnson has been banned from the PBA," read the statement released by league media bureau chief Willie Marcial. - See more at: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/555159/sports/basketball/pba-bans-tnt-import-johnson-for-cursing-league-officials#sthash.YiJZgs5X.dpuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Ivan the Terrible just can't get out of his own way. Smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmoor Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Exactly the type of toughness the Hawks need................Back in the 80s, Ivan wouldve been looked at as a enforcer. EVERY contending team had a enforcer. Pistons had Laimbeer, Mahorn. Knicks had Oakley, Hawks had Willis. Today's game is WACK. Your superstar can get dismantled and their teammates just shrug it off. Thats WHY Milsap cant get a call. The referees adjust to the play. They look at the Hawks as soft, and thus, Sap cant get a call. This IS THE MAIN reason i want that Horford/Sap broken up. Heck, Zaza had more heart than Horford. ENFORCERS!!! " get your soft butt out of here!" Edited February 13, 2016 by Hawkmoor 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ivan is still my favorite Hawks scrub of all time. I'll never forget the game in which he took it right to Chris Bosh on TNT. Even had Barkley and Reggie Miller gushing over him. 2012 Ivan would be good in Bud's system. 2016 Ivan seems destined for a Vietnamese rec league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejay Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Oh, how I miss the days of Hawks' Family Feud we had when Ivan was on the team with Osh and Larry Drew. The chatroom was nearly shut down that night. Fun times. While I'd love to have an enforcer like him on the team, we all know that he wouldn't stay on his best behavior and would end up getting suspended, waived, or both. And knowing Ivan the way we do, he'd probably want to go out in a blaze of glory so there would be winners here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually you just have to realize he is not helping anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
