Playing against his former team and up 9 points with 10 seconds left in OT Tobias gets a rebound and sprints the length of the floor to dunk as the Buck's stood and watched. His former teammate, dunleavy angrily confronted him. NBA Network commentators say Tobias broke an unwritten rule and his coach needs to reprimand Tobias. Either way Tobias had an AWESOME game. 30 points and 19 rebounds. I love it.

Reprimand him for playing the game? Nah. Its the same as fouling with 1 second left down by 7. No controversy and wont be mentioned more than one highlight reel on SC.

Controversy? Dude's 20 and made a somewhat poor decision. Regardless, that was the final F you to the inept organization that wasted his talent and time he could've been playing/developing for over a year.

Maybe he just doesn't like those guys on the Bucks.

Oh, and LoL @ being reprimanded for scoring during a basketball game...

30 and 19 is a good way to say hello to your old team. Glad he's killing it now.

I'd be pissed if I was Tobias.. Obviously his old team could've used him a lot more than they did.. And he did a good job of showing them their mistake up close.

Him and Vucevic are going to be a nasty combo. Vucevic is a rising star center in the league.

One of those "in your face" moments back at the Bucks. Obviously he is happier to be with the Magic since they actually let a guy play that is capable of scoring 30 points and get 19 rebounds in a game.

If he works on his ball handling he could be very, very good. He's more of a PF but he plays SF some too because he can stretch the floor. Orlando has a fe wig those hybrid like forwards and Harris seams to be flourishing in that role.

They did bury him on the bench. If I were him, I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing.

Harris told his side of the story. "[W]hen I got the rebound, I thought they were trying to foul, I was trying to push it out, and I didn't see nobody behind me," he said. "So I decided, you know, 'I'm wide open, I'm gonna battle until the game is over.' I just wanted them to know [there was] no way they could come back in this game."

He offered his apologies to the Bucks organization and its players, saying he has "all the respect in the world" for Milwaukee. He also said the play "wasn't personal at all."

"If anybody thought that was disrespectful, that's not the type of player that I am," Harris said. "You live and you learn from it. In the future, I wouldn't have done that, after having that experience and knowing the consequences of it."

Don't think this should be considered a controversy. I thought he did something borderline illegal or unethical
