eh it's actually a really good strategy. I wouldn't do it, but if someone did it to me I wouldn't say that they're dirty. It's a mental game, and if you're that easily distracted so be it. Take advantage of the fact that they're playing with your stomache and score on them.

When I get hot and a guy starts doing stuff like that, I know he's doing it because he can't play me straight up. I smell blood in the water, and I'm going to attack him every time I touch the ball. "Keep trying to mess with my belly button, because I've just lit you up for 40, and we're still in the 3rd quarter."

yeah i agree with you if someone had to try that on me i would know he wasnt confident he could guard me and I'd take it to him.

Great example. It reminds of my junior year in high school when our cross town rival's coach told me that I would never score 30 points against them. He said my team may win, but his guys were too disciplined to give up that many points to one player. I think I scored 41 and 43 in both league games that year, and when we shook hands after the second game I asked him what happened to his prediction. It was kind of a disrespectful thing to say to an opposing coach, and I don't recommend it; but he had it coming.
