NBA Fight Club
Ron Artest, Dime #21During last night’s Lakers/Raptors game, Derek Fisher and Jose Calderon were jawing with each other when L.A. announcer Stu Lantz said:
“As much as I like Calderon, don’t make that mistake. Don’t mess with the Bulldog.”
Almost everybody in the Dime office agreed that Fish would probably destroy Calderon, but what do you think?
And with that in mind, which NBA fights would you want to see?

Dagomar says:
Calderon would have a shot, he’s wiley.
I second Bron and Artest. Wouldn’t mind Howard VS Yao, Oden or Bynum either. Iverson against Paul would be funny. Kobe against Pierce might be entertaining too.

ERIC says:
Fisher is more ripped and bigger than Calderon, but I have a feeling that Calderon is a crazy, feisty fighter and wouldnt back down to anyone. My vote goes with Calderon.
As for other fights (as fighters, not basketball players):
LeBron vs Artest
Artest vs Ben Wallace
LeBron vs Ben Wallace
Craig Smith vs Brandon Bass (battle of the biceps)

Student Of The Game says:
D. Fish would destroy Calderon’s soft backside.. Anyways I would like to see Shaq and Dwight Howard go at it. That would be a site to see…

Coop says:
Being built is basically nothing to do with winning a fight. Calderon could easily crush Fish if he knows how to throw a punch.
I’d like to Ron Ron versus Stephen Jackson, just because I’d be cheering like crazy for Ronald.

LMAO @ tay vs. ak-47 . . . that would straight up be hilarious, but I would expect andrei’s wife to somehow get involved to stop the fight. she seems like his manager anyway. (seriously, only ONE extra-marital affair / year? when does the wife get to make that rule?)
d-will would kill cp3, not because he’s bigger, has a longer reach, thicker, or anything like that — just because you know that d-will wants to murder him. it would be like Salieri vs. Mozart all over again.
I want to see those two former portland centers fighting, that Korean kid and that other guy — Ha Seung Jin and Nedzad Sinanovic.
Matt Barnes vs. Bruce Bowen. Both will try to out dirty each other.

yoda says:
fish would probably win that fight but he would bleed too. calderon showed with k.g. that he has balls, and too many times its not all about muscles, its how much someone wants to win. i’ve seen some skinny dudes fighting bigger guys, and they kept nothing back, like theirs life depends on that. i’d like to see anyone vs.k.g to smash his dirty talking mouth (dj mbenga would be good. he’s a laker and he has black belt in judo). and ‘melo without his bench and that nyk guy (can’t remeber his name).
December 1st, 2008 at 11:37 am
doc says:
Muscle dont win fights fellas,heart do.That said give me Ai vs Melo.I just think its more to that story.U knew Melo got off the Ai train when he cut his braids.My homies called the trade from there.

Calderon got up in Garnetts face, so either he’s suicidal or he’s just mad good at fighting. I’d take him

Dwight vs KG
I just want someone to snap KG n shut him up
other matchups:
Dwight v Amare – would be immense
Shaq v Yao – see if Yao has a demon side
Nate v Muggsy – how entertaining would that be?
Spree v Artest v SJack – u know someone’s dead
tag team: Marbury/Isaiah v Q-rich/D’Antoni
Pierce v Kobe – u gotta have that one
Chaos said T-Mac vs Grant – funny but one would get injured before the fight even starts!
Parker v Jaric – who cares about the fight….Adriana n Eva on opposite corners!
