China & Brazil Brawl on the Basketball Court

All, International Basketball, Video Jason McIntyre October 13th. 2010, 2:07pm

China and Brazil brawled on the basketball court Tuesday, and the violence was so vicious that the game wasn’t completed. After you’ve viewed the above video, check this one out. And this guy has pictures of the mayhem (the 2nd photo and one further down are particularly awesome). [H/T: This Guy]

Yes, Geeezeus, just because they’re not unhinged goons like most hockey players means that all basketball players need to learn how to throw a punch.

I don’t think he said anything about hockey but I can understand why you think it’s implied. Jermaine O’Neal can throw a punch but outside of him, I haven’t seen many NBA players with much in the way of fighting skills.

You probably would if fighting was the highlight their sport.

Like in boxing or MMA? I can’t think of any other sport you might be referring to where fighting would be described as the ‘highlight’ of the competition.
By the way, I didn’t say they should be able to fight well. I just said that we have video evidence suggesting that most of those who do choose to fight during games aren’t very good at it.

I could have just as easily have put baseball players, soccer players or most European hockey players. However, this video was of basketball players slapping and pushing each other.

Finally, we can settle which is better, kung fu or capoeira.

That’s because unlike in some sports, they don’t get to have the officials watch the fight for a minute before they intervene (don’t want to mess up the highlights), so most guys try to get in a shot as quick as possible.

Really? The referees in the video (and in most bball fights) might as well pull up a chair and grab some popcorn.

You really have no idea what you’re talking about. Hockey officials stay out fights because they don’t want to be clocked in the head by a punch while two guys are rapidly exchanging shots. They wait until the two have tied each other up and then attempt to seperate them. It’s a workplace safety issue. They could give a shit about the highlights.

Excellent rebuttal sir, you have me convinced.
Can you explain why the league has taken steps to reduce the amount of fighting and why there is an average of less than 1 per game?
I would assume that because fighting is the highlight of the sport that the league would be taking steps to increase the number in order to get on Sportcenter?

one man being misinformed is another man being delusional. I’ll eat being misinformed as long as you realize being misinformed is curable, being deluded is terminal. Workplace issue! Did you expect someone from the League office to come out and say we like fights? Stringent enforcement against fighting can almost completely minimize the number of fights, if the NHL was interested in doing so.

so, you’re rebuttal is that there is an average of less than one fight a game? So, if there is a fight in 40% of the games played, that means what, a team is getting into a fight almost every other game. Which means, what? That with the number of teams in the League, you’re guaranteed to see a fight or two a night, and you’re guaranteed to see them in the highlights. What are the number of fights per game in the Olympics when many of these same players are playing?

Comparing the Olympics to a regular season NHL game shows how misinformed on the subject you are.

The expectations in the Olympics is open, clean play and no fights. Keep posting descriptions of my responses instead of a valid argument.

Actually, the Olympics fall under the governance of the International Ice Hockey Federation , which is a completely separate entity than the NHL.
The lack of fighting in the Olympics is not an “expectation” – fighting in the Olympics results in an automatic game misconduct along with a high likelihood of supplementary discipline.
