The only thing the video reminded me was that basketball players don't know how to fight. It makes sense though. They probably never got into fights in high school or bothered to learn how to fight because they were the biggest guys around. Mike Tyson would have kicked all of their asses including Shaq. Heck, I'd take any 2nd rate boxer over those basketball players.
Yea, for the most part basketball players don't know how to fight. They are usually held in their own basketball classes away from all the other students and spoiled and protected by coaches their whole life because they're good at basketball. There's an occasional fighter (Stephen Jackson) but for the most part anyone with some boxing experience (sparring, amateurs) would destroy an NBA player.
Here's a trivia question - What former NBA All Star and Knick player was an amatuer Golden Gloves boxing champion?
HOOP - T Good question but i think by his size and the way ive seen him fight on the court i would gues Marcus Camby??
Armen Gilliam was a boxer. He was one of the few people Barkley feared. I remember Barkley saying it was worse because Gilliam was always quiet, but nobody messed with him. A lot of NBA players grew up rough, so it's not like they all had things handed to them. And come on, Mike Tyson? Who couldn't Mike Tyson beat up in his prime? Oh yeah, random posters on a sports bulletin board.
That was pretty good, and the music fit pretty well too. I too would have liked to see some old 'Angry Akeem' b**** slaps, as well as the Barkley-Shaq fight where Barkley reaches down and upends Shaq by pulling his leg up..Timmbeerrrr.. That was a great one and Barkley gained tons of respect from me for that. One I'm glad wasn't there was the infamous RudyT and Kermit Washington hit- that wasn't a fight at all. Poor Rudy.
If you guys download Limewire (shareware) and search for Yinka Dare. You would be able to download 3 awesome NBA fights videos.
Ok this one is of better quality but not as good FIGHTS but it has the Shaq vs Barkley fight and aslo has at the end KOBEY BRYANT almost getting knocked out and for me that was a treat to watch.... i think it might be a little too big though, lets see... heres the link http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1JW7ID3W40SID1NIO61V1H0F09
Both are great. Camby has one hard punch,(just as Walt Williams) Van Gundy is fearless, you just have to respect that guy.
Here a fight between Reggie Miller and Kobe Bryant watch it! http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2XRJ0I51QUYG52OUGSPDG9QH1E
