[Highlight] Jordan Poole is shocked to see his teammate throw a punch
Im shocked a punch actually connected during nba fight
Didn’t Jalen Williams literally say no one fights for real like a month ago lmao
GTAlvaredo took that personally.
“Can he punch?”
“Yes I can punch!” - Jose
One thing about Jose’s is that they will fight ya
Is Williams not the aggressor? I gotta watch the full clip lmfao
Jose got pissed at Williams’ screen he was the aggressor
I mean in the replay, it looks like he swings at Jose first.
Alvarado is from NY, he ain’t afraid to scrap.
from the bronx specifically.
Bro gave it to him the ocky way
Definitely looked like Rondo was tryna kill CP3
Similarly, that time Beef Stew tried hunting down Lebron.
Of course it’s the human-sized Puerto Rican from Brooklyn
Human-sized 😂😂
Boricano Brawler from B K Bee Itch
at least they’ll swing
baseball “fights” are the corniest shit in all sports
I think a baseball fight might be the only true ko I’ve seen come out of a pro sport fight besides hockey.
Ramirez knocked out Anderson
Also the greatest non boxing fight call I’ve heard. Down goes Anderson, down goes Anderson!
Tom Hamilton is a national treasure and just about the only reason I tune into the Guardians and their abysmal lack of offense.
Ramirez erased the Bautista punch from being the best punch thrown so I love him for that
That Bautista punch was clean as shit .. odur the chad
Bautista ate that shit tho
Nolan Ryan vs. Robin Ventura was quality entertainment.
Poor Ventura, hit by a pitch six times in one AB
Pitcher. Hit by a pitcher 6 times.
Conversely the only batter to get 6 hits off Nolan Ryan in one at-bat.
Kyle Farnsworth vs Paul Gibson is a gem too
The incident: https://youtu.be/8Bt8t_eqVo4?si=mQhMXeOCHsy3Se31
“He racky-tackled him!”
Rudy Tamjanovich
That was a sucker punch.
I mean still knocked someone out and almost ended their career
Down goes Anderson!
Not a KO but Nolan Ryan beating the tar out of Ventura was pretty good too
46 year old Nolan Ryan straight up embarassing a charging Ventura is the GOAT.
At that time, T.A. career was already on a downslide. That punch was literally the KO to his career.
Jess Smardzijia KO’d Michael Morse on accident with his shoulder in the Harper vs Strickland fight
https://youtube.com/shorts/aSqKZliKOtw?si=POHMBsJLwMkJW8tk The best baseball fight ever
Holy cow that call was better than the KO
Tom Hamilton, long time and beloved Cleveland baseball radio announcer.
If you love great announcing search for top Tom Hamilton calls. He has been amazing for Cleveland baseball for so long
There’s more! https://youtu.be/7oacyt6Jk8U?si=j3fMbTLd2Oeqfpw8
For non-clevelanders - we chant Jose like ole ole ole when he’s up and they start doing it after the ko it’s sick. Jose does not claim this and says he regrets it (he shouldn’t haha).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOyauOUguVQ The best team vs team fight
whoa cmon I know I’m biased but how isn’t it pedro tossing zimmer
edit: not to mention Varitek glove to ARod’s face
That is one of my favorite baseball moments. Bitch ass commentators mad at Martinez for throwing down a guy who was charging him because he’s “73 years old” or whatever. Don’t run at a guy if you don’t want to get hands.
Eh, that’s just one moment. A great moment, but not as much a big team brawl.
Varitek, oh that’s the good stuff.
The fight needs to go on long enough for the bullpen arms to throw a punch to get on my list.
Most baseball bench clearings are a bunch of bullshit posturing, but I will say I’ve seen more punches thrown and connect in baseball than in basketball. Basketball it seems even more rare that they throw and the juxtaposition of how badly NBA players want to be seen as tough while not being about it is pretty funny.
I think the Malice in the Palace really made the league (the commissioner and the governors of the sport) put their foot down on that.
IMO fans have forgotten their place and could use a reminder it may be a bad idea to be vitriolic towards 6’10” brick shithouses.
only problem is that sports betting is legal
Considering the fact that baseball players actually have to walk quite a distance to throw hands, and the fact that it is a non contact sport, it does make sense that most “fights” are just posturing.
Big fan of the guys in the bullpen coming too as if there’s still going to be a fight by the time they get there.
Especially the fact that sometimes one of them has to hold open the door for both teams’ bullpens before posturing
Idk what OP is even on about, basketball is the epitome of a bunch of fake tough dudes going “hold me back” while they wouldn’t dare throw a punch.
The charging from the bullpen is so so so so funny. They’re all late to it. Posturing to do absolutely nothing. If they meant it they’d stop in the outfield and have a scrap there.
Would be the greatest shit ever if the two bullpens ran to center to fight while the rest of the players yelled at each other in the infield
except it has my favorite fight ever
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2oGzoYjd-Qk
DOWN GOES ANDERSON! DOWN GOES ANDERSON!
Shoutout Yasiel Puig and Amir Garrett, both went against the entire Pirates team and definitely connected on a few.
Those Reds/Pirates fights were the most interesting thing going on for either of those teams
Some baseball fights are decent but the reason they fight is often the corniest shit. Did you just flip that bat after hitting a home run? Might as well have taken my grandma out to a nice seafood dinner and never called her again. You’re gonna pay for that buddy. I’m a tough guy. Or whoa whoa whoa did you just tip your hat at me. I can’t handle that as a grown adult. Fisticuffs then, chaaaarge!
chaaaarge!
Or in the case of the relievers, chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge!
On a related note, intentionally hitting batters is some real weak shit.
If a pitcher is really that mad, they should man up an do a reverse mound charge and throw hands. But beaning somewhat with a ball is some coward shit (especially AL pitchers, or I guess anybody now that pitchers don’t bat).
The problem is that it’s almost like getting your friend to hold someone still while you punch them. Except in the case your “friend” is you going through the pretense of pretending you are going to play baseball and throw a real pitch. By going through the motions of playing baseball, they get the batter to just stand there so they can nail them. And even if the batter suspects it’s coming… if the batter hides in the back of the box ready to dodge out of the way, the pitcher will just strike them out. Just absolutely massively weak shit from dudes who mistakenly somehow believe they are macho.
And you want to talk about bullshit reasons for this shit, I remember once the Florida Marlins announcer defended throwing at Nyjer Morgan for the second time in a game (I think the first time was because of some bad blood from a previous game), because after they hit him the first time “in a proffesional manner”, they were upset that “he stole second and he stole third in an 11 run game, which you wouldn’t normally see done.”
Down by 11 with four innings left is a very large lead, but it’s not insurmountable. And the announcers basically said that using violence outside the rules was an acceptable way to discourage Washington from trying to come back and win the game. Just insane.
What, not a fan of somebody throwing their batting helmet in the general direction of somebody else then a 60 man dogpile appears out of nowhere?
That’s not what happens all that much. It’s usually everyone runs out and stands on opposite sides of each other while the bullpens run allllllll the way to home plate and then by the time they get there, everyone just walks away
I don’t watch baseball but went down the Jomboy youtube rabbithole where he breaks down baseball fights and it’s hilarious all the little unspoken rules they have. The bullpen run is one of my favorites because you can tell 99% of the time those guys couldn’t give less of a shit but they can’t risk rocking the boat by just staying in the bullpen.
But when we get actual fights we get some fireworks. “DOWN GOES ANDERSON!” is a goat’d call lol.
This is Kyle Farnsworth erasure.
Best baseball fight by far!
Tell that to Robin Ventura’s skull.
Um not always. Search up Nolan Ryan headlock
This guy’s never watched a baseball brawl obviously.
Nah man baseball fights rock, also the fact that the build to a baseball fight is always much better storytelling.
You knew the Puerto Rican dude was gonna represent with proper fighting skills
It would be the shortest dude in the league that would connect
I remember watching the Kobe-Chris Childs fight live on tv. Long ass arms and zero connections lmao.
Zero connections? Kobe caught a 2 piece with a biscuit before he even realized he was in a fight.
That’s the problem with most of these ‘fights’. Usually one player is operating under the assumption that there won’t be punches which means the puncher gets some free shots.
The Ramirez v Anderson is great because they both squared up before any punches were thrown.
Solid hit for an NBA game
Modern NBA game*
In the 70s they were literally boxing out there.
Even Kareem was like that.
Also fun fact, Kareem broke his hand on that guy’s face looool
Bruh that shit is hilarious
It’s hilarious until someone nearly fucking dies.
Look up Kermit Washington vs. Rudy Tomjanovich, nephew.
The real sky hook
I can’t tell if he waited for the shot attempt or for the guy to see him coming up so it wasn’t a total sucker punch, or neither
I would say this incident is pretty infamous because of it being a sucker punch and that has been a major part of its discussion
To be fair, he got sucker elbowed.
a sucker punch is unprovoked/unexpected. if you punch someone in response to being hit it can’t possibly be a sucker punch
Sucker punch? If you hit someone and then turn your back to them, it’s not a sucker punch: it’s natural selection.
Idk what you mean by “Even Kareem”.
Dude was trained by Bruce Lee and was in Game of Death with him.
All I see is that the NBA should bring back the short pants
Hit him with the why I outta
Rudy T nearly died
Fucked up his life.
Literally had spinal fluid leaking into his mouth
How quickly we forget the malice in the palace
I was watching that live, for whatever reason. People forget it was on a Friday night I believe. I saw that, 9⁄11, and Olympic bombing all live. Probably not a great thing.
Someone take this man’s TV away before he starts WW3
It’s a good thing you’re alive though.
Keep that one going ✌️
Almost 60 years ago grandpa
Willis Reed fucked up a whole bench once
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SmR5qJ705kk
I love Willis Reed summing up his review of it “it was a good fight though”.
Especially the size discrepancy
Michael Chandleresque in his technique
SEE YOU AT THE TOP
Even more impressive that it’s not a cheapshot. I feel like the biggest blows I’ve seen were cowardly hits. But this is in the thick of it.
Yeah he’s reacting to Williams throwing a (terrible) punch first too. Missed that before, but easy to see here.
Honestly I would pay to see someone do better to make contact with a closed fist while giving up a foot of fight.
Mark Williams should be ashamed and laughed out of the league. Joe Mazzulla is gonna hunt his ass like a wounded elk.
5’ 10” Mark Hunt vs 7’ 1” Stefan Struve
I don’t think Mark was trying to fight though, he’s swinging to get him off, not land a punch. Alvarado was just on something different that most people don’t do in the modern NBA and it came out of nowhere
PTSD
VietnamPTSD.png
So funny how a player can take a punch like this and keep fighting, but if the ball was live they would have been rolling around on the floor screaming in pain for 5 minutes
That Alvarado guy always seemed strange to me. He comes off as a weirdo.
he’s gotta be. dudes probably the shortest guy in the league and needs to have some kind of x factor
He knows the pels need a locker room/glue guy I guess
Tallest short king in the world.
He’s always had chihuahua energy.
Didn’t look like no chihuahua here lol. Mark missed Alvarado landed. Chihuahuas don’t do anything but bark.
Idk man, a chihuahua took a chunk outta me once.
You should come meet my mom’s chihuahua then!
Chihuahuas merk rats and defend territory. Fill blood Chihuahuas have sired pit bull mixes
Big dog energy
Poole finally got his Green Ribbon only to be reminded of those Green memories.
He realized his teammates can punch other teams’ players
At that price point, he CAN hit. He can.
Johnny Carson can hit!
I’m from stable of stars, that guy’s one of my Draymond Greens.
“oh so they do this in new orleans too”
only on bourbon st, smoothie king ctr and snake and jakes
Snakeessss. The Christmas lights combined with my astigmatism really dona nasty combo at 3AM.
It’s both hilarious and sad that Snake and Jakes has become well enough known to be name dropped on Reddit.
Love snake and jakes
He knows who to avoid during practice now
Avoid? Nah bro you make friends with that guy
Bro had war flashbacks
Steve Kerr: how can take the video
Nice connection
New York native you know he don’t play
Damn, that’s an actual scrap of a fight. Dude connected.
The Puerto Rican Express
WEPA
Jordan Poole is on the pelicans?
Just look for the team on pace for 18 wins and you’ll find him
Can my Bulls trade for him? I’d kill for a high lottery pick.
If the Bulls don’t end up middle of the pack at the end of every season it will break the universe
Perfectly balanced.
I forgot about that. I was looking for Wizards jerseys
7’1 mark Williams tagged with the right by 6’0 on a good day Jose Alvarado let’s goooo
Lowkey a lowlight for bro
Short kings got the bards coming in to party tonight
That was a proper right
Surprised it landed. These guys usually fight like drunken giraffes trying to fuck
Lol its hilarious seeing the height difference. Jose got a decent shot in there too.
TIL Jordan Poole plays for the Pels
I would say bewildered, not shocked.
ok thesaurus
I think you meant to call him pedantic, thesaurus died out long ago dude
nah i should call u pedantic for this comment lol
Do you think I was serious when I said thesaurus died out long ago brother?
ohh you were making a dinosaur joke, flew right over my head lol mb. last place i expected a dad joke haha
An actual punch landing on an NBA game and not just a “hold me back” energy moment 🤯
Tired of the hold me back dudes, if you’re going to fight then fight.
I had to watch this 5 times to find Jordan Poole, is the homeless look back?
He used to look fresh on the warriors, now he looks old and tired like Kawhi
Bro got his ring. No way he has the hunger for more
Poole got Vietnam like flashbacks
Williams punches like he’s in a dream
That right woke his ass up lmao
His left hand did not let go of Jose’s jersey the entire time, dragging him along. His right hand was just going crazy trying to get Jose away from him or some shit. Williams’ left and right brain not communicating or what.
I’ve always found JP to be relatable.
10-9 Jose
He just Grand Theft Alveradoed his game checks for the next few games
Punching like I do in my dreams
Suns fans blind if they can’t see Williams swinging too
Neutral fan - don’t think it’s a punch. He even repeats the little forearm ‘get off’ to Alvarado’s arms again after, it does seem like he’s trying to get Alvarado off him
Also neutral. Alvarado threw the first punch.
Williams trying to get the gnat off him
He was just standing there and alvarado escalated the entire thing grabbing his jersey and wouldnt let go
The most entertaining part of this whole thing is New Orleans fans trying to act like this was Mark Williams fault
You can tell Jose knows how to fight but not Williams
Did Williams even want to fight?
No. His body language is that of someone trying to pacify an upset toddler.
That would be because he was trying to pacify the upset toddler that was having a temper tantrum
[removed]
Holding his jersey the entire time is a weird way to get him off lol
Jordan thought only teammates were only allowed punch each other…. At practice, While the other has their back turned.
Brooklyn stand up
touching the head band set bro off. he sensitive about that hairline
Good scrap boys
/NHL
This been kind of a violent season ngl. I can’t wait for playoffs
That right hook tho 👀
I’m shocked Alvarado could reach that high
Not shown here: Jose going the back way to the locker room, presumably to meet Williams to fight some more
Williams acting shocked that he got ejected. Like he didnt throw a punch.
Flashbacks of Draymond Green set in.
Damn, when did Poole leave Wizards
Alvarado is a team cancer. His value is close to 0 now. Trade him to the Knicks for dadiet and a bacon egg and cheese. Trust me. He’s a sweet kid. Will cause no problems like this in the future
Jordan Poole PTSD
First time I see someone actually throwing hands instead of just being aggressive when there are 10 guys separating both (like two dogs separated by a window)
Brawlin’s in Nawlins
We need more of that in the nba and no adam silver.
