Video Highlights A Previous NBA Fight Between 2 Legends
Everyone in the NBA world is currently talking about the fight between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole of the Golden State Warriors.
That’s not a surprise considering how explosive and shocking that situation is.
But it’s not the first fight that has rocked a team in the league.
Throughout the history of the NBA, players have butted heads again and again.
Even the biggest stars have come to blows, and come back from it.

A video circulating on the web shows Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal speaking about a fight that they had back when they were both playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.
It all started when O’Neal was bad-mouthing Bryant and essentially pressuring him to fight back.
Bryant did just that and the two threw some hands before it was all broken up and they were separated.
But Bryant makes a fair and important point: he saw the fight in O’Neal that day and realized how much he wanted to play the game – and that gave him a new respect for his teammate.
The rest is history.
Putting The Fighting Behind
If Bryant and O’Neal can put all of this in the past and move beyond it, so can Green and Poole.
However, no one knows the status of the team right now and it’s unclear how tense emotions are.
It’s also unclear what will happen to Green, who instigated the fight and is to blame for it.
Will he be suspended or will he get off with just a slap on the wrist from the front office?
There is a lot up in the air right now about this incident and the aftermath.
But these two stars can work through it, just like Bryant and O’Neal did.
