Basketball Fights

Every game has its own share of fights and jokes. But then, the fights are always something peculiar and interesting to watch. Basketball fights add more intensity to a match though they are not something people would really enjoy. A fight in the match arises because of a misunderstanding and physical intimidation in the game.

Due to the fact that basketball is a close contact sport, excessive fouls and intentional ones are normally the main reasons behind most of the basketball fights. It is also true that every basketball fight is not fought over a win – lose situation. It is fought over either a preexisting issue between the players or it is fought over other minor issues between the players. The cat fights are becoming more common in NBA too.

One of the greatest brawls in the NBA was the great fight between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons in 2005. It was a basketball fight that totally got out of hand and involved an Indians player attacking a Detroit fan. Detroit won the 2004 NBA crown. In the run-up, the Pistons defeated the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals. When the Pacers came to the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit for a regular season match up, there was nothing regular about it. Indiana tore down the Pistons and was cruising to victory, rubbing it in. Then, Ben Wallace shoved Ron Artest. A pissed Ron Artest lied down on the scorer's table. A fan threw a cup on his face and all hell broke loose. Basketball players fighting, Artest punching a fan, it was drama of the highest scale. Artest and 2 other Indiana players got lengthy suspensions and the Pacers were never the same again.
