Renaldo Balkman banned from playing in the PBA

Renaldo Balkman has been banned from playing in the Philippino Basketball Association following a choking incident.

In case you don't know the incident:

The guy he choked was one of the best players in their team history.

Balkman was averaging about 28/14 over there in seven games.

With that said, would Balkman be considered as an import option for the Sixers?

Surely he could get a euro contract before NBL

He would last 5 minutes in Adelaide before doing a Sprewell to Clarke.

The Wollongong Hawks can count themselves lucky that you don't get banned in the NBL for choking incidents.

Just reading around the internet, Balkman also head-butted someone during a game between Puerto Rico and Venezuela and got into another fight in Cebu City during the PBA pre-season.

This time he made aggressive contact with a ref a number of players. Not to mention Arwind Santos is like a god in the PBA.

He wouldn't last 2 games in the NBL.. Even less if one game was against the Wildcats.

Clarke...I would allow...

Renaldo Balkman is just a misunderstood Martin Scorsese fan.

The lyrics to the song Martin Scorsese by King Missile:

This ones called Martin Scorsese

He makes the best f__kin' films
He makes the best f__kin' films
If I ever meet him
I'm gonna grab his f__kin' neck and just shake him

And say thank you, thank you for makin' such excellent f__kin' movies
Then I'd twist his nose all the way the f__k around
And then rip off one of his ears and throw it
Like a, like a, like a f__kin' Frisbee

I wanna chew his f__kin' lips off
And grab his head and suck out one of his eyes
And chew on it and spit it out in his face
And say thank you, thank you for all of your f__kin' films

Then I'd pick him up by the hair
Swing him over my head a few times
And throw across the room
And kick all his f__kin' teeth in
And then stomp on his face 40 or 50 times

'Cuz he makes the best f__kin' films
He makes the best f__kin' films
I've ever seen in my life
I f__kin' love him, I f__kin' love him

If choking were banned by the NBL would the Sixers be able to field a team?
