Bread City Basketball


KNICKS VS. SUNS BRAWL, 1993

Warmup windbreakers tearing, assistant coaches flying everywhere. Greg Anthony snuffs KJ, and still keeps his silk shirt fresh, pre-dress code. Starks does his signature fight move, a.k.a forehead-to-forehead trash talking. Even Rolando Blackman gets up off the bench looking for some, so you know it’s good.

At the time, Phoenix and New York were the two best teams in their respective divisions. The league handed out $160,000 in fines.

The brawl doesn’t really get going until the 4:00 minute mark, but it’s worth watching the fight-before-the-fight, if only to see how funny Danny Ainge looks when he’s mad.

Gotta love the clean deco lines on that 90s Suns court design.

I was at this game. Greg Anthony was and is a punk. And the shirt he was wearing was hideous!

notice how riley never comes in to stop players from fighting unlike westphal or van gundy.. is it coz of the armani suit? don’t know why he trains players to be thugs, when he wasn’t one while being on the lakers bench in his playing days, unlike rambis.. the knicks should’ve been a real powerhouse even during the jordan days if only they had a real coach and not the whiner within..

15+ years later, KJ is the mayor of Sacramento and Greg Anthony is still a tacky bum who makes a living sitting around running his mouth.
