    I have a trivia question. There was one fight that was so severe that one player had to get his face put back together and the other player was jailed and permanently banned from the NBA. Which fight was this?

    It's been mentioned. Kermit and Rudy. There's a book on this fight also, I want to buy it.

    yea. what was it called again? im not a big reader but books about sports is cool. I like those greatest moments books with the CD with broadcasts and stuff. I just got the book "moneyball" about how economics have mutilated the face of MLB. cant wait to read it.

    I don't know...I think it was some sort of two word title....I just know that the cover has a picture of Kermit hitting Rudy. The reason why I find the book so interesting is because after the fight both have led lives that have been so different. Rudy becomes a great coach while Kermit gets blackballed by the league. I'll look up the title.

    That was an awesome punch. Rudy T. didn't even see it coming. His face was turned the other way. He didn't deserve it.

    My favourite fight is the one that happened in the Pistons-Celtics series of '86 (I think). Anyway, it was in that game when Larry Bird made his famous steal, passed it to DJ and they won the game -- you know what I'm talking about [​IMG]

    Right, it was Laimbeer (of course) vs Parish. The Chief wants to go up for the rebound, but Bill holds his arm. Apparently, The Chief thinks this goes too far and he starts pounding Bill Laimbeer -- two punches right in his face and Bill goes down!

    The real shocker about this fight was what shapecity already said here:
    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "shapecity":</div><div class="quote_post">i also liked when robert parish decked bill laimbeer going up for a rebound and there was no foul call.</div>

    Those refs didn't even call it :shock: TWO PUNCHES IN THE FACE!
    WT more do you need to call a <font color="green">Edit</font> foul?! Unbelievable, but it was still a great moment.

    Hehe, he really was a doofus and he especially looked like one when he was laying on the floor that time. He was very confused, but hell, how can you blame him? [​IMG]

I'm a big KG fan and I also think Kobe is top 5 in the league, so please stop this <font color="darkred">EDIT </font> :twisted:

    The thing is that I don't think Allen Iverson ever got into a fight, and isn't he one of the "bad boys" of the NBA?
