New NBA Brawl

Knicks vs the Nuggets and a huge fight happened. Just saw it on ESPN. I mean I thought it was kinda awesome...

Melo is such a pussy he like slapped him in the face and then jumped back. I hope he gets more than 10 games but he wont bc he is a superstar. I hate him and this just adds to it.
See the video

nice fight, until carmello threw that cheap shot. i wish jeffries hadnt been held back so he could have kicked that pussy's ass

The NBA needs fights to get along and viewers, just like hockey.

It was funny watching 5'9" Nate Robinson throwing punches and going after people...then he got tackled into the cameramen by a MUCH larger Nugget.

I didn't know that Jeffries had that kind of emotion in him. The whole time he was in DC I think his expression changed twice.

SI.com - NBA - Nuggets' Anthony out 15 games - Monday December 18, 2006 1:05PM (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/basketball/nba/12/18/brawl.suspensions.ap/index.html)

So 7 players are going to be suspended, including Anthony for 15 games. Neat.

That's just hilarious. When was the last time in PROFESSIONAL Football you have every seen a brawl? That's right, it doesn't happen and may have NEVER happened in PRO football. Why is that? Are they more disciplined thugs in the NFL? Fear of losing their jobs? Someone help me understand why this is the only professional league that doesn't have these problems!

If I were commisioner, my punishment for fighting on-court would be as follows:
1st offense: 1 year suspension
2nd offense: Life-time suspension

I mean, I would have basically no tolerance for fighting -- whatsoever. I think 15 games is too light. The message being sent is: we don't like it, but we'll tolerate it.

I think a lot has to do with the nature of the sport itself. It's easier to take out your aggression in the flow of a football game what with all the hitting there is. You can't do that in the flow of a basketball game really.
