Shawn Bradley is being hailed a hero in the Mavericks media, while in Utah he is being labelled a thug.  Which one is it?  It depends on who you ask.

Bradley was called for a Flagarant Foul with 6:41 left in the opening quarter of Game 3 when he hammered Karl Malone, setting the physical tone which helped his team avoid elimination.  The Jazz are fuming over the incident after Monday the NBA upgraded the foul to a Flagarent 2, which means that if it was called as such during the game Bradley would have been ejected.
