Video: Serbia-Greece Game Ends In Brawl

Sometimes friendly matches aren’t so friendly. We turn to Wcco.com: ” The friendly Acropolis basketball tournament finished in a brawl as the last game between Serbia and Greece was abandoned with 2:40 to go when a fight broke out and the benches cleared on Thursday. Serb center Nenad Krstic was in the thick of the action; the benches cleared when he grabbed Greek forward Antonis Fotsis by the throat. He then threw a chair at Greek center Sofoklis Schortsanitis, who was pursuing him. The chair hit Greek center Yannis Bouroussis in the head. Bouroussis, who did not take part in the game because of a hand injury was last seen in the locker rooms looking to take on Krstic. Blood trickled from his wound. Fotsis had moved threateningly against Serb guard Milos Teodosic who had fouled him hard. A stunned crowd of about 5,000 at the Athens Olympic Arena watched players from both teams exchange punches and kicks. Two or three spectators entered the fray and were quickly shoved out of the arena.”

    some melo at the garden sh*t! good damn it’s lucky that these HUGE men don’t know how to throw a punch. i say krstic not playing in the worlds, though. that type of move leads to time off.

    We do all agree that in an all-out Deathmatch the current Team USA would be beaten to a pulp by both the Greeks or the Serbs?

    Lame scrap – i swear basketball players are the softest – i have been playing rugby league and bball my whole life and dropped a couple of ballers simply cos they’re soft and im hard from rugby. Upper cuts and hooks baby – samoan styles!

    @nastierthanu4…LOL at the Boondocks reference!! i was just thinking the same thing..whenever someone throws a chair = chaos!

    It makes both teams look bad. Krstic definitley comes out looking the worst. Especially since he threw the chair after everything had basically calmed down.

    This guy Krstic should have been in Malice at the Palace throwing chairs. Aaron McGruder would be proud.

    Krstic got arrested by police in the morning and he has been released after a few hours, because Bouroussis didn’t sue him after all. Also, as I hear from the news, there will be no punishment for the teams or the players involved, at least before the World Championship starts.

    It looks like the Greece player Fotsis spits at Teodosic (around the 0:11 mark). Teodosic didn’t do anything other than defend himself against that punk, and that’s what started this mess.
    Whether or not Teodosic was hacking or flopping doesn’t make a difference. Especially if Fotsis is as dirty as some of the commentators mentioned.
    Can’t speak for Krstic, he just lost it. Darko got suspended by the NBA a couple years ago for his interview rant so I can imagine Krstic getting at least a few games and maybe being fined by OKC.

    kristic might not play another basketball game the way things are going. good to see sekou smith standing up for his guys

    I better see Nenad Kristic in the next WWE game for Xbox…

    What a disgrace. Stupid, spoiled millionaires. I guess Nenad is frustrated because he constantly gets dunked on in the NBA.
