🏀👊🏿On June 5, 1986 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Rockets Ralph Sampson got entangled with the Celtics Jerry Sichting and an all-out brawl ensued. No suspensions were given out for the fight, despite roundhouses flying all over the place. Rod Thorn, then the VP of operations, said there were no suspensions because it wasn’t “premeditated.” The Celtics players blasted Sampson’s actions in the press. Larry Bird even said, “Heck, my girlfriend could beat [Sichting] up.”👊🏿🏀 #SampsonVsSichtin
