  • Isiah punching up at Rick Mahorn while he just stands there smiling is the funniest damned thing I've seen in a while.
  • "Barkley went into the locker room and broke a toilet seat he was so mad" I'm dying over here🤣
  • Funniest thing is Rodman seemed the calmest of all of them.
  • @loudlong
    Rick Mahorn laughing his head off while Isiah Thomas punches him in the face was the signature highlight of this game.
  • @wallomaie1752
    "Laimbeer comes back with an uppercut". Aaaaah the good ol days.
  • The commentator went from narrating the game to narrating a boxing match pretty seamlessly 😂
  • @mugabi9502
    It is amazing how Rick Mahorn just won an NBA championship with the Pistons the year before and now Isiah was taking swings at him.
  • @ceversole1
    Mahorn never dropping the ball while getting swung at by Thomas is great. 😂

    "You can't hit somebody and run backwards" - Charles Barkley 🤣🤣🤣

    Look how Barkley and Rodman were fighting for position. Meanwhile if you breathe on James harden it's a foul. 😂😂😂 #pathetic

    Ah when ESPN actually reported the news and not give stupid opinions on Lebron’s salad dressing choice.

    "Barkley actually broke a toilet seat, he was so mad." Did someone actually say those words?
