    I don't know who made the video, but saw it online today.

    This will bring back memories for the old timers.
    It is from a completely different era and fights between players were handled differently by the NBA

    b**** ass Tarpley with the sucker punch on Peterson, then backpedals like a true p***y. -- Some things never change about the Mavericks.

    There are some good takes in there.
    That Whopper shot is one of many reasons why Hakeem never got the benefit of the doubt from the refs whenever there was a questionable foul.
    In other-words, why opposing players were able to foul him hard and get away with it.
    Hakeen had a really bad reputation with the refs.

    I was also looking for a high definition copy of the fight between Sampson and Jerry Sichting for over a year.
    Still have not found a copy, but this is the next best thing.

    For some strange reason all those 80s sneakers fit my wide and flat footed feet better than most modern kicks. I wish I could cop new pairs at a decent price.

    Not only Olajuwon but Sampson too did not take **** from anyone. Laughing my ass off at the blatant homer Boston announcers trying to villify Ralph when he was being mobbed by a wave of green.

    Same thing for the Lakers, playing cheap because they were so scared of Dream but trying to laud the Lakers thuggish behavior while blaming Akeem for the "first" punch.

    I'm so glad I'll never have to listen to another game called by Heinsohn.

    Love this, fights get you ejected from the game and a 0-game suspension. Olajuwon straight punching a punk in the face and the result? Play on. God the 80's were the time for basketball. Announcer at about the 1:10 mark when the fan was being escorted out "Let the players handle it" You damn right, and they did.

    Love the fire, but our best players got ejected from some really important games.

    Peterson was like a gazelle bobbing and weaving through traffic to get to Tarpley, but alas he came up against the best blocker of all time. Hakeem stops him dead in his tracks.

    Watching that video, it occurred to me that since the Kermit Washington punch, the Rockets have landed at least a dozen solid punches without taking too many in return.

    That's why we saw Rudy do all the escorts to the locker room; He volunteered for that job, Got the hell out of there quick too. PTSD...LOL
