Fake fighting is what you’re going to get 99% with an NBA confrontation.
The Indiana Pacers and Utah Jazz squared off on Thursday night, the Packers ended up winning the game. But the highlight of the game was when things got a little testy in the 4th after Myles Turner blocked Rudy Gobert at the rim. As Gobert fell to the ground, he grabbed Turner’s shorts. Turner then pointed his finger at Gobert. Officials didn’t do much.
All hell broke loose.

Never have two basketball players wanted to fight less than Rudy Gobert and Myles Turner.
Gobert commented about “Fighting” after the melee.
“People need to stop acting like they are going to fight on the basketball court when they know security will be there to break it up. It’s cool for the cameras, but people need to stop acting like they are about that life.”

Rudy makes a great point. There is no real fight to take place.
It’s pretty much professional wrestling at that point.
