Most people would strick back if they were pushed and shoved.

If he was getting abused (shoving, mouthed at) I dont blame him for that! I like preston and he is a great ball player

i'm not knocking on him or anything but if he's a great ball player like you say, then why does he miss most of the shots he takes?

He plays hard, good role player.

He has a witness to prove that is what happened.

WHAS Interviews Witness






WHAS11 News found a man who lives just feet from where the alleged fight happened. The man did not want to go on-camera but says he’s being interviewed by detectives on Friday about what he saw.He says he saw Knowles’ girlfriend hitting Knowles outside the house, and he then saw the step-father walk out and start swinging at Knowles.The witness at this point says that's when Knowles also swung back and a fight started.

As good ol' Jim Ross says..."Business is about to pick up"!

Not like I have some inside track on Knowles or anything... but he never seemed to me to be an instigator type, much less stupid enough to attack someone and put himself in a situation like this for no reason... but I could easily be wrong.

Preston is a great passer, maybe you should have paid more attention to his asists those games...LOL. Also he is a very good defense player, that is why he has gotten his PT at Louisville. Preston knows his role on the team and has played it very well.

he is a good player or else he wouldn't be at Louisville!

An athlete of his caliber and size, you'd have to be crazy not to carry a ball bat or something around just in case something like this happens, haha.
