Is Nocioni the Most Posterized Player in the NBA?

When I saw that Chicago Bulls forward Andres Nocioni was suspended for a game after drilling up-and-coming Nets center Mikki Moore with an elbow to the head this week, I decided to scour YouTube for the footage. Couldn't find it. But it was rather funny to stumble upon this Vince Carter dunk on Nocioni. (Just wanted to put this theory out there: Could Nocioni's angry elbow be a result of being dunked on so many damn times?)

A simple search for 'Nocioni' turns up, well, lots and lots of facials the young man has received in the NBA. There's Memphis star Pau Gasol serving one up in foreign play. Then Denver's JR Smith gets all sorts of nasty on Nocioni, and after returning to earth, he turns as if to say, 'you just got put on a poster, son!' Even Kwame Brown gets in on the action.

And that's just the first page. Of course, it could just mean that Nocioni hustles back on defense, which is a nice trait to have.

Quick word on Moore: He's been a major catalyst in the Nets five-wins-in-six-games surge. He's been starting for injured center Nenad Krstic, and in the last six games, the undrafted ceneter from Nebraska has been averaging 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Anyone else smell a 'Meet Mikki Moore?'
