Doug Collins did have a, gulp, good point though, when he said these wrap up fouls can actually end up being dangerous. Not as dangerous as LeBron telling his mama to settle down, but dangerous nonetheless.

Compared to getting hit while flying to the basket a "wrap up" foul is a love tap. Chill out is a Debi Thomas skate word when Kirk Cameron told her to put her skates on during Kirk's tv special in 1988.

Looked to me like he said "sit your *ss down." Hey, you probably shouldn't talk to your mama like that, but he's in the middle of an athletic battle. Seemed a pretty mild rebuke to me.

It all goes to prove that if you don't have anyone else on your side in life, you'll always have your mother. :-)

Looking at the video...it did happen right in front of his Mom. She actually had to move over to get out of the way, and she then just stepped over....like a few others did....and spoke her mind.
They tried to make it seem like his Mom came from 20 rows away. She did what a normal Mom would do. The real story is the cheap shot AGAIN...by Boston. They point out that James is no MJ. Well idiots....these Celtics are no where close to Bird..McHale....or DJ.

That should be a three shot foul AND the ball!!! That's bullshit taking that intentional foul and having the man HAVE to make two foul shots!!

The whole thing was classic by KG huggin his mom, and by no curse words being dropped, and right after that LeBron showing Pierce respect right after that. But you know that Boston is going to blow this whole episode out of poportion
