There has been a lot of debate about whether Matthew Dellavedova is a dirty player during the Cavs' playoff run.

One Hawks radio broadcaster has a strong opinion on the matter. 

When Dellavedova came in for Game 4 on Tuesday night, "Voice of the Hawks" Steve Holman decided to refer to the second-year point guard as Tonya Harding.

Harding is known for her involvement in deliberately injuring Nancy Kerrigan's knee prior to the 1994 U.S. Skating championships. Dellavedova has been accused of playing dirty after incidents involving Kyle Korver and Al Horford in the Eastern Conference finals.

Delly won't have to worry about Atlanta much longer, as the Cavs look to complete the sweep with a 20-point lead in the second half of Game 4 against the Hawks.
