The disadvantage of being Rashad

This was bound to happen. I'm sorry for posting this story a couple of days late, but it's still worth reading, from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune regarding Rashad McCants' recent ejection for taunting. McCants might have a solid case regarding the double-standard in the NBA that rewards veterans with favorable calls and penalizes rookies unfairly. In fact, of course he does. But he's not about fixing the league's age-old problems.

This gem of a line might sound vaguely familiar to UNC followers, as it reminds us that, for Rashad, it's not about the NBA, it's about Rashad:

"It's just the disadvantage of being me," McCants said. "What I did [Sunday] night was who I am."

Oh, and it looks like the Raymond Felton era is upon us in uptown Charlotte: 18 points, 10 assists in his first start in place of injured Brevin Knight to end a five-game losing streak.
