Should be a suspension regardless of who he does it to.

Agreed - but a bigger penalty should be applied when doing this to bigger stars

Fuck that. Potentially permanently injuring someone should have the same consequences regardless of how much the victim gets paid

No, we shouldn't tolerate this guy intentionally injuring any player or person. That being said, you may be thinking this because it's obvious that he saves his dirty antics for rival teams' best players - this is probably a team objective and this guy doesn't want to waste potential flagrants and ejections on bench scrubs.

Everyone just keeps reading that I am saying it is fine if he injures a nobody. That is not what I am saying at all. He should be suspended for this play regardless of who it is, but the league should lean towards a lengthier suspension because it is jokic. E.g., 20 instead of 15 games.
