[Highlight] Jose Alvarado and Mark Williams both get ejected
If you had given me like 7 guesses on who would get in a fight on this team, Mark Williams would have been none of them
Mine would be:
I’d probably slot in Grayson Allen somewhere in the middle
On the flip side, trying to guess who could wind up and straight out punch Steph Curry in the chest after a shot and not get ejected, you would say “Maybe Mark Willams. Cuz Dillon Brooks would get a 10 game suspension. Wait…you’re saying it was Dillon Brooks? Why are you filming my reaction? Is this a prank?”
Brooks really isn’t trying to fight like that tho. Habitual line stepper? Yeah. Fighter? Nah.
He wouldn’t need to start the fight to be in a fight though. If someone swings on him because he stepped on the line too many times that would still mean he got in a fight
Yeah but we gotta get the jokes off here, not the serious takes big dawg
I’d easily take Booker and O’Neal over Williams
I know Draymond is not on the suns, but I’d throw him in somewhere to cover all my bases, especially with Poole on the other team

Why do so many write his name as Dillion. It’s Dillon, the only Dillion i’ve ever heard of is the porn star
Send da video
Brooks really don’t be swinging on people tho…
Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan.
Dillon Brooks is a pussy that is all bark and no fight.
No Draymond at all?
I mean Alvarado was clearly the aggressor. If it was up to me I wouldn’t have ejected Williams
Yea I’m sure it’s only because he swung at him. If he hadn’t have done that he’d be fine.
I was pleasantly surprised Dillon didn’t even get a tech.
edit: jk nevermind lol
Jose Alvarado’s Napoleon Complex: “And I took that personally”
Williams got hosed. Only Alvarado should have been ejected
He threw the first hit. Biases aside it’s the right call.
He tries to disengage though and Alvarado continues to enter his space.
That doesn’t mean you’re allowed to punch him and not get kicked out of an NBA game.
That’s true but you still have to keep your hands to yourself. I understand getting upset in the moment but the minute you start swinging it’s automatically gonna be called that way. Despite him not being the instigator.
Ah yes. Lemme get knocked the fuck out and not defend myself because it’s the right thing to do. That’s some bullied kid getting suspended because he decided to fight back kind of logic.
I mean, swing away, you just can’t be surprised when you get ejected too
I hate when people bring bullied kids into this. These are grown ass men who know the rules and repercussions, not kids being taught bad moral lessons
Said it in another comment, people comparing schoolyard bullying to guys professional athletes is some silly shit. Everything else aside, these guys can seriously hurt each other on accident throwing hands. They probably wont because they all suck at punching, but if they hit right shit can go real wrong.
A dozen other people are going to put a stop to it instantly, you aren’t at any risk by not swinging back. I’m also not going to hold it against someone for doing so, but they gotta get ejected for it lol.
Did Jose not swipe at 0:09 in the clip? Looks like he might have made contact with Williams’ face as his hand went over Williams’ shoulder and came down. Then Williams cocks his arm back and hits Jose with his forearm, then the actual punch from Jose. At least that’s how I saw it.
How is everyone missing this? Jose swung first.
People who missed that qualify as NBA refs
han shot first
And the whole time Alverado hanging on to Willams jersey. He grabbed the jersey as soon as he comes up to Willams because Alverado was looking for a hockey style fight. A little shove in the back by Williams and a crazy overly aggressive response from Alverado.
When the little man is charging him? At what point are guys allowed basic self defense?
Jose takes the first swing as his headband is coming off.
“Hit”
That was less like throwing a punch and more like trying to wave a fly away
It doesn’t even matter you don’t just get to retaliate and stay in the game. It’s a ridiculous idea.
Can’t fault alvarado for executing his job as a pest to perfection cuz lord knows he doesn’t get paid for any basketball-related skill
Little fucking puppy dog going nuts
First time I think somebody actually landed a punch wow
Barely, wasnt much on it. Alvarado was the aggressor here from the jump
Alot of this was spillover from the prior game last night
It was Alvarado who landed it. Seems like he’s fought a lot of people way taller than him. I guess that’s what small man’s disease gets you.
Poor guy, only 6 feet tall. Post your measurements now lmao
4’23.5”.
like a bit under 6”
That’s probably why him and Chris Paul got into it a lot in the past.
He looked like a little kid trying to fight his big bro and wilin out 😂
Which is funny because Alvarado literally had to jump to hit Williams in the face. Mans had to leave both his feet to make contact
Mark shoved after the whistle then threw elbows at his head. Bitch move after a shitty moving pick.
I don’t know, Williams had he arm/ elbow over his head pretty quick,
Rondo vs cp3 both connected with a punch
It doesn’t count when youre hitting yourself
Kobe’s jaw would like a word.
Bill Laimbeer vs. Brad Daugherty
Williams getting ejected here is like when the kid who got beat up also gets suspended
For real like this is some child level of judgment. Bro not only got dragged into a fight he didnt want to be in, he got slapped and punished.
I am sure they will overturn this, because if not, why not actually swing at that stage ? Laws of physics would take it own course in that case.
Tbh this is why kids who are being bullied should always punch back. I hate that that’s the lesson schools want to teach but if you’re going to get suspended for being hit may as well make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Not much of a punch. I’m sure if he wanted to throw a punch he could and that definitely wasn’t it.
This really speaks about you America’s justice system lol. Hilarious to see it’s skewed even at a damn sports level.
Good luck to my fellow immigrants in America lol because holy f we are beyond hopeless
I feel like I’m going insane lol do yall not see him clearly swing twice first?
See my above comment. If you think Mark’s arms flailing trying to get Jose off of him are swings then sure, but it’s pretty obvious they’re not being thrown in any manner resembling a punch
If you think flailing your arms around that it’s not going to get you ejected you are insane.
I’m with you, Jose fouled first, then got shoved after the whistle. He went to say don’t do that. He then got shoved again so he grabbed his jersey. (To be fair either these things could of happened first) Then Williams swings twice and had his arm/elbow over his head,
Then Jose slaps him
Does he still get ejected if his swipe down on Jose’s head doesn’t connect?
NBA players trying to fight will never not be funny to me
Especially when they have secret tunnels and all.
Reminds me of the time Book and Gorgui Dieng got ejected and both ran into the tunnel and tried meeting in the back lmao. Comedy
or when Stewart chased LeBron around
Beef Stew legit scary af tho
Stewart jumped Drew Eubanks a couple years ago before shootaround it was crazy lmfao
Or the Drew Eubanks Beef Stew hallway brawl that nobody seemed to record
I remember when someone got ejected and tried running through the changing room tunnels to get to the other team’s bench.
Might’ve been Isaiah Stewart against LeBron but I’m not sure
It was indeed that
Marquese Chriss ran after Bismarck Biyombo down the tunnel a few years ago.
Doug Christie vs Rick Fox in like 2003
Hello police? Jose trynna beat me up!
secret tunnel, secret tunnel, secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel!
Top tier reference
I mean Williams clearly wasn’t trying to fight he was just trying to get that fly to let go of his jersey
100%. I think he was caught in between trying and not holding back
It’s definitely a league full of guys who have never needed to be in a fight at this point. Alvarado might be the closest to a guy who has.
I mean Beef Stew looks like a guy that is actually about it. He’s at the top of my list fosho
There are outliers like him and James Johnson. But only one of them caught a cheap elbow from LeBitch and got to run away. Goddamn would I have loved to see Beef Stew get a rebuttal.
I also feel like the Morris twins must be able to fight purely because of access to reps but one of them took a shove to the back after a cheap shot and nearly died so maybe they just slap-fought like Lois Griffin and Lady Chicken.
Morris twins can beat up a normal sized dude but when faced with someone of their girth they get hurt for 8 months
At least GTA threw a connecting punch 😂
Mark caught in a spot whether he should throw or hold back resulting in some weak ass hammer fists lmao
They aren’t trying to fight and lose their jobs.
They can’t throw a punch of television, so it looks like play fighting most the time
Banes got a real heater with the ball in his hands
These teams are not having a good time against each other
And everyone else having a good time as a result.
Fuck jae crowder shirts getting their money worth
All time Pels moment.
all time suns moment too! same way we love our boy brooks! gets under the skin!
this is the take all suns fans should have. acting like jose is a war criminal when the most notorious pest is on your roster is hilarious. i like brooks for that reason too. guys like that are entertaining
yeah anyone saying that is just jealous of his effort. anyone who plays like that you love on your team.
but seriously.. fuck that guy!! hah
I also would love him on the team. Love a good scrappy little guy.
The Jose chants in the chantry area were a tip sports atmosphere in my life…. Ever.
Hands down.
Can I get one of those?
Suns almost always have a great time against the Pels tbh
But it’s ALWAYS annoying. It might be 1. Lakers 2. Pelicans as my least favorite teams right now
Clippers are up there too
Oh no we are in fact having a great time. Maybe it’s just me but I think many Suns fans have a great time when we hate teams and people.
Squabble it out on the court, your gonna have a baaaaad time :(
Mark Williams is like a skyscraper, and Jose Alvarado is a fearless squirrel. David vs. Goliath, and the squirrel’s still swinging!

Why do ai bots have reddit accounts now
There was a whole string of bad calls that led up to this moment, pretty poor officiating
pretty poor officiating
The NBA has a MASSIVE problem and they aren’t even acknowledging it.
They have multiple massive problems at the moment.
I mean, yes. But the officiating should be comparatively easy to fix. Literally all you have to do is call the game fairly and not give offenders free reign to do whatever the fuck they want.
You’re right. I saw an opportunity to hate on Adam Silver and posted.
Give that vampire all the hate, my friend.
This fans of both teams can agree on.
Awww so that’s why Alvarado is constantly finding himself in these situations. It’s not because he has little man syndrome, it’s because of the refs!!
Vast majority of NBA fights start because the refs fucking suck and players get pissed from it.
Jose is weird dude lmao
Looks like he’s trying to compensate for something
Self defense from a crazy idiot should not get you thrown out
Kinda bullshit that their defensive liability goes nuts and it kills our center rotation….
[removed]
Refs can’t distinguish between a swat and a swing - all the same. This is why he got the boot.
Why Mark got ejected?
clean from jose there
10-9
Yeah don’t know why Williams gets ejected. Hate the both sides of refereeing these days.
Wtf was Jose doing? He gets a tiny shove then he retaliates like that
What him and Mark did is exactly the same, that’s what the refs and comments are telling me
If there were no previous altercations or physical plays by Mark towards Alvarado, then that was fucking dumb
He knows he needs to resort to this shit to stay in the league
Shoves the taller player first then gets upset when he’s shoved back
lil man syndrome
I guess you just have to let the little poodle punch and grab you
Idk why coaches don’t send the end of the bench guys at the other teams good players. If a player reacts in any type of way they get ejected or T’d lol. It’s a huge gap in the rules right now.
Love real fights where actual punches are thrown
I am not at all surprised that it’s Jose
Why is Williams getting ejected
I can’t believe someone is dumb enough to spend money on awards for some of the comments I see in this sub lol.
Angry chihuahua energy
Some Pelicans fan in here giving out awards to validate their side.
Mark getting ejected is ridiculous.
Refs thought he still played for Charlotte.
How many games is Alvarado getting suspended for? Over/under 5?
15
No way he gets that many when Rondo and CP3 got like 5
5.5
Williams minding his own business til the Shetland pony did whatever that was
wtf did Mark Williams do?
Look like a Chihuahua snapping at a Great Dane
Joe Mazzulla places a call to Brad Stevens
Always the midget getting in their feelings
Mark Williams was rather calm and only trying to get a rabid raccoon off his leg. Good of him to have composure.
LMAO at “rabid raccoon”
Thats the New York in him. Good bump. 8-8
Alvarado throwing up his hands in disgust like, “Come on, he’s bigger than me! What am I supposed to do?! You let Caruso get away with it!… 😖”
Lmao these punches are so half assed.
I wanna see some Kareem Abdul Jabbar stuff. I want people to risk serious suspension time if you’re gonna fight and threaten other peoples well being
I’ll take a couple notches down from the Kareem punch, dude almost died on that court 😅
I mean either don’t fight but if you’re gonna fight I wanna see you go all out and risk brain damage lmao
No half measures Walter
no kermit washington vs rudy tomjonavich fans in here eh?
Alvarado is a fucking rabid chihuahua. Dude is seriously disturbed.
Mark didnt deserve to get ejected. That was all Jose.
Williams did not deserve to be ejected
Jose is lucky Mark can’t punch.
Lmao boy home announcers be cooking up the bs
Future NY Knick Jose Alvarado
Hell ya GTA😤😤😤
Gotta be a suspension right?
Smoothie center standoff
This man Alvarado the only person I seen Throw actual hands twice on the court lol,I think people forgot about that time with Thomas Bryant a season or two ago
Rondo and cp3
Alvarado landed that punch clean af lol
Were the actual punches thrown?
Let’s go that’s what I’m trying to see in a game
David Stern suspends them for 5 games each without thinking
Adam Silver gives Jose 2 and Mark Williams 1 game(s) suspension after double blinking
Lol. Fake tough guy. Nobody in the NBA ever seems to know how to throw a punch. They all just ready to flop!
This is some Isiah Thomas type shit
If you watched the game and officiating before the fight, everyone knew something was gonna pop off.
Man…… how the fuck are you going to let fuck ass Alvarado smack you. The dude is a G-leaguer.
Out of all the 5’11 dudes in the league it had to be him cmon Mark…..
You really expect 7’1” Mark Williams to try to legitimately fight some crazy 5’11” dude who just got his second technical?
Mark Williams out here getting oissed for setting screens while he’s walking and being a bum.
Why throw punches on someone you fouled? He wasn’t even doing anything after the fact.
Brook on his shoulders got w and p. The IM is on his chest.
Little sweet balling up those little hands
Mark Williams soft
Imagine Alvarado trying this with prime Charles Barkley or Charles Oakley.
That was a clean overhand right there
Alvarado coming off like a little bitch here, the bigger dude clearly didn’t give a fuck until Alvarado went full chiwawa mode
I think you have to avoid getting punched by Jose to pass the Lakers physical
Let em fight on the street and Jose would never
Alvarado is a dirty player…
Alvarado chump ass pushed bro and got mad cause his flopping bull shit isn’t working anymore. How you gonna push bro with two hands and then turn to the ref to start complaining about something lol. Get his fuck ass outta here
Alvarado bombed him with zero effect. Mark caught him about 1⁄4 clean and Alvarado was clearly hurt.
