You clearly don't get it. It goes like this...Kyle Lowry gets shoved by Mark Stevens, Kyle Lowry punches Mark Stevens in the face, Kyle Lowry's career is effectively over. Since this seems to be going over your head, the following would ensue: All of his endorsements would end before the final seconds ticked off the clock, the NBA would suspend him indefinitely and then ban him, the Raptors would release him and Mark Stevens would likely sue him. Make sense?
I guess I can envision defending oneself going beyond a physical altercation. Can you?

People are acting like the guy did something really horrible. He pushed him away. He should have kept his hands to himself; yes, but he didn't throw a milkshake on him!

This is SO overblown. I would have nothing to do with the NBA if I were considering investing in a team.
