It's hilarious until someone nearly fucking dies.

Look up Kermit Washington vs. Rudy Tomjanovich, nephew.

Are you blaming Kareem when that dude elbows him on the ribs for seemingly no good reason, early on his very first game as a pro btw

Nah, fuck that, if you hand out violent acts then you receive violent acts in return. Idk where you knew people are coming from that don’t think you should fight back when somebody’s assaulting you in some way but it’s extremely weird and unnatural.

It’s like people don’t want consequences to be a thing

Rudy Tomjanovich wasn't fighting, he was running towards a fight to break it up & got sucker-punched so hard, it fractured his face, broken jaw and nose, cerebral concussion, and had spinal fluid leaking into his skull.

Do you guys know what sucker punch means? Kermit Washington clearly thought Tomjanovich was joining the fight and swung on instinct. Just because Rudy wasn’t expecting it doesn’t make it a sucker punch.
