New Orleans Pelicans center Omer Asik is a game rim protector, and he'll rarely concede easy buckets when he's patrolling the paint.
The risk of an attitude like that, of course, is the occasional posterization. On Saturday, just a few days after getting dunked on by James Harden, Asik challenged Minnesota Timberwolves rookie guard Zach LaVine at the rim.
He may need to learn how to pick his battles.
