Has there ever been an NBA fight where a player legitimately got messed up?

Like punches actually landed and resulted in lost teeth, broken jaw, shiners. I can't think of anything at least not from the last like 25 years.

Holy crap.

But lol @ the narrator "What wasn't silent was the sound of Washington's face hitting Tomjanovich's face"

Ouch.

I took a shot like that from the follow-through of a water polo shot in college. Lucky for me you don't get as much leverage behind it in a pool as you do on dry land. Still knocked the nose damn near off my face.

Willis Reed sent 3 lakers to the hospital. 2 with broken jaws.

Laimbeer caught Daugherty pretty clean there too.

What the hell? You never heard about Rudy? He actually had spinal fluid leaking into his mouth.

CSB I shared an ashtray with Rudy in 1998!

Yeah, that Kermit washington punch is the most legendary.

All I know was that Ron Artest Pistons vs Pacer brawl, Artest actually did damages to some of the fans.
