FIGHT!

   O.k, basketball can become violent when a fight is broken out. One maybe wondering how and why is their fighting in basketball. Well, let me break it down. Obviously there are a lot of fouls in basketball, some harder then others. When a player is fouled very hard on accident then the player being fouled may understand and control their anger. Contrary to a foul being committed accidentally, when a hard foul is committed on purpose, then that is when anger is uncontrollable and then a fight may break out. That is not the only instance when a fight breaks out. When a referee makes a bad call, players become angry. While the player is furious due to a bad referee call, it is the coaches and the team to calm the player or players down, but when everyone is angry, there goes trouble.

   Taunting may also bother a players emotion on the basketball court. There has been many instances when players fought or almost fought due to opposing players taunting. It kinda gets under your skin when you get embarrassed, but when a player teases you for it at the end then it becomes bad for both of the guys.

   The video below displays some fights that broke off in the N.B.A for the exact reasons I mentioned above. In the mix is some old school N.B.A fights and some new ones. There is also some violent language in the song which is playing, so viewer discretion is advised.

Clash of The Players

    How is everyone doing? There has been a while since my last post but we are back with more basketball bloopers. This week I would like to switch it up, instead of focusing on one individuals bloopers, I am going to focus on many. 
    We all have that moment when we just so happend to run into someone. Well in basketball it seems to happen more often that any other sports. Picture this; a player is coming down the court on a fast-break and does a monstrous dunk, then just as he turns around to celebrate, WHAM!, he runs into someone behind him. That moment will be funny for you but very embarrassing and painful for them. There are actually some players in the N.B.A that does this very often. Mostly centers. The best time this happens is when a guard crosses over two defenders and they clash into each other. You can never become tired at laughing at theses clumsy accidents, because laughing at someone else's minor pains never gets old. Check out the video at the bottom of a mix of bloopers full of players running into each other. Oh, and remember, with pain comes great pleasure, ... for the fans.
