First player to sue a rival team for inflicting an injury Rudy Tomjanovich, Houston, 1977 During a game on Dec. 9, 1977, Kermit Washington of the Lakers and Kevin Kunnert of the Rockets got into a fight. Rudy Tomjanovich left the Houston bench and rushed to help his teammate, but as he arrived on the scene, Washington wheeled and delivered a crushing blow. The punch shattered most of the bones in Tomjanovich's face and actually knocked the top half of his skull out of alignment with the bottom half. He suffered a concussion and lacerations and was leaking spinal fluid into his nose. Tomjanovich was hospitalized for weeks and missed the rest of the season. He returned the next year after five facial surgeries, but was never the same player. Tomjanovich sued the Lakers and won a $3.2 million award. Washington, who was fined $10,000 and suspended for 60 days, was never the same player after the incident either.
I am ok with pipp now. I am kinda more pissed with barkley. I think drexler said he understood pipp's sentiments towards barkley and I trust what drexler had to say. Ahh well the past is the past... next...
barkley took a pay cut and defended quitten when his game was off. for quitten to insult barkley was not only misplaced anger but it also showed how classless he is. piece of $hit, i still hate him...
Good to see that someone other than Rockets Fans noticed the true lack of Class and downright egotistical A$$hole nature of Quitten. I hope he's seen this list.
