After spending 10 years in the NBA, Jason Maxiell was off to China to make good money and extend his career. But now he’s just had enough. His team, the Tianjin Gold Lion, have won eight games out of 34. Maxiell is currently in a bad position, on a bad team. His teammate Jordan Crawford overshadowed him by dropping a 72-point game earlier this year.

With Tianjin officially eliminated from any playoff contention, Maxiell just wants to go back home. And when a guy who’s 6’7″ and about 260 lbs is pissed and just wants to fly back home, you might want to stay away from cheap fouls.

So when Wu Ke of the Shandong Flaming Bulls ran full court to close-line Maxiell before his shot attempt, the bell rang and the match began. Maxiell went straight for Wu Ke, but the Chinese player wanted nothing to do with Maxiell who threw the first punch after nearly getting his head taken off. Maxiell runs towards Wu Ke who sprints to the other end of the court away from Maxiell.
