Some famous and infamous fights amongst star players and thugs throughout the 80's, 90's and 2000's. I remember quite well some of the fights I posted. Here they are: 1984 Bird vs Dr J Barkley was an ass holding Bird down while giving Dr J clear punches of Bird! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4oF34p3-rQ 1987 Bird vs Laimbeer Can't find a footage of this one but we don't need one as we all know of that infamous ball throwing of Bird at Laimbeer. He deserved it 1990 Laimbeer vs Barkley LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoMKqevrI18 1993 Kevin Johnson vs Doc Rivers Basically KJ got into Doc's head and went downhill from there http://breadcity.org/2009/07/13/knicks-vs-suns-1993/ 1993 Reggie Miller vs Michael Jordan You should've killed Reggie, Mike!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOBTLAPHuiQ 1996 PJ Brown vs Charlie Ward LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE9eAfinef8 1998 Larry Johnson vs Alonzo Mourning; then Alonzo Mourning vs Jeff Van Gundy LOL :grin: Sorry for the sucky footage but everybody, as in EVERYBODY remembers this ONE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWqv5fNeosc 2004 Ron Artest vs Ben Wallace; Indiana Pacers vs Detroit Fans Most Brutal fight/brawl ever in the history of the N.B.A. Nice sucker punch by Jermaine O'Neal on one fan btw :grin: "Where is SECURITY?!?!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cTZsqxPVHo 2006 Nate Robinson vs JR Smith, Mardy Collins vs Carmelo Anthony This comes a close second to the 2004 Ron Artest debacle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf4gDYcildI I'm sure I've missed a few good ones as well. Feel free to add more intriguing fights/brawls/standoffs/staredowns and skirmishes in the Association past and present.
I remember reading Chuck's book and he said he was just trying to hold Larry back and stop the fight but Dr. J started swinging.
Alston vs. Nash with T-Mac and Shaq in it. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceGRVUjXqM4[/youtube]
I remember being at this playoff game... never thought it was possible for me to hate Karla any more than I already did. Of course, I was dead wrong. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/fsaqR6EO-lI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Only 2 plays, but Boki reached a new level of respect in my book after that game. **** awesome.
I was about to say, rep for anyone who has the video of Rudy T getting his face bashed in by Kermit Washington.
In the Artest video, it's amazing that Stephen A. Smith isn't yelling slowly into his microphone. Times have changed. My ears weren't bleeding as I was listening to him talk.

I saw John Stockton give Brent Price a wedgie and make him cry one time, Price took his ball and went home.
I'm so disappointed. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XHG4MovL7Vc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Here's a video with a lot of fights and hard fouls (a lot of Ron Artest / Mehta World Peace). Check out Blake Griffin being thrown at 1:20. That move is called Ippon Seionage in Judo. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qcOdTvHwU8w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Unfortunately the video doesn't include the three legendary Rocket fights. The Kermit Washington Rudy T punch, the Kupchack Olajuwon fight that Rockbox posted and the Sampson vs Sichting fight.
