When Laimbeer threw him to the floor via headlock, Bird threw a couple
punches that landed. After things had settled down, it was then that
Bird picked up the ball and threw it, which reignited things. Had he
not done that, he would have likely stayed in that game. Throwing a
ball, not the punches, got him tossed.

For those that don't have the video footage of the Jabbar/Schayes
incident, Magic Johnson mentioned it in the "Big Fella" chapter of his
book.

Yes, my original point was that Jordan threw a ball off a guy's head and stayed in the game, while Bird threw a ball and missed and was ejected.
