Jennings took exception and got into his face.<\/p>\n<p>After a couple players got in between the players, Taylor smacked Jennings in the face with an open hand. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y8ktC_ediws\">Check out the video.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Taylor was kicked out of the game and Jennings&#8217; squad eventually lost.<\/p>\n<p>Why does everyone hate Brandon Jennings? The purists don&#8217;t like him because he&#8217;s a point guard who never met a shot he didn&#8217;t like, a straight up gunner in the vein of Allen Iverson. Sure he shoots a lot, and doesn&#8217;t have a great shooting percentage (.394% for his career) but he is an energy player that changes the flow of a game.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings needs his shots to get going, but he has shown that he has the skills to go off. For what it&#8217;s worth, he averaged a career high 6.5 apg last season for a Bucks team that lacked talent.<\/p>\n<p>I still remember when he went off for 55 during his rookie season, displaying every facet of his game:<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mFBg1LLYC_k\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He will have a chance to punish the Bucks, a common Central Division foe, now that he has setup shop in Detroit with the Pistons.<\/p>\n<p>Why do YOU hate Brandon Jennings &#8211; does he shoot too much?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Jennings elicited a lot of hate from NBA fans during his years in the league.
