Remember how big and bad Antonio Davis was as enforcer in the mid-90s and early 2000s NBA? Just as a point of reference, here’s video of Brendan Haywood running scared like a little girl from a German Shepherd. This took place during a 2004 pre-season game, when Davis was a member of the Chicago Bulls in the second-last season of his career.
Here’s the NBA.com recap of what happened in that fight:
The Wizards pushed the lead to 19 points in the third before tempers flared with 3:22 left as Larry Hughes pushed Hinrich into Luol Deng as his teammate attempted a layup.
As Hinrich engaged in a shouting match with Hughes, Brendan Haywood intervened and pushed Hinrich, igniting a shoving match that finished with Haywood and Chicago’s Antonio Davis wrestling on the floor near mid-court. In the end, both Davis and Washington’s Michael Ruffin were ejected, while Haywood and Hughes received technical fouls.
What is not mentioned there is how Eddy Curry came in and took a couple of good shots at Haywood’s family jewels. Get in there, Eddy!
No mention of any guns being fired during the scuffle.
