Yea you're reading this title correct. Tuesday night the LA Sparks and Detroit Shock were playing a regular season game. How ironic that it was in Detroit. After a free throw by a Shock player, Candace Parker, rookie for the Sparks, was running down the court when she got pulled down by Planette Pierson of the Shock. While Parker was trying to get up, Pierson walked over and intentionally bumped her back down. Parker threw a punch at Pierson and then was tackled by another player from the Shock. Lisa Leslie came over to try and help her teammate up when both teams, amped up, broke out into an all out brawl that included coaches! An assistant coach for the Shock actually knocked Leslie down, whether it was accidental or not, we still don't know but it's pretty hard to accidentally knock down a 6 foot 10 inch female basketball player. The Sparks eventually won the game 84-81 but many players were ejected. All I know is that the Shock players need to go take fighting lessons from their brothers, the Pistons.
