Next time anyone tries to tell you that the problem with today’s NBA is that there are too many thugs, tell them to watch this clip of Moses Malone and Charles Barkley holding Larry Bird in a headlock as Dr. J repeatedly punches Bird in the face. If you ask me, this is what the NBA needs more of - teams that can’t stand one another. It’s funny that the biggest knock on the modern state of the league is that the players don’t care enough, but when those same players show emotion, those same critics call them thugs. Fights like this happen because of the nature of the sport, not because of who’s playing it. Larry Bird was one of the baddest NBA players ever, but nobody ever questioned his character.
Now we’re stealing video links from the Sports Guy? I don’t blame you.
Anyway, this is a ridiculous video. Dr. J getting free punches while Bird’s in a Barkley-induced headlock. Bullshit.
Come on Geoff, nobody knows that except you. Actually, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
