Five greatest NBA fights of all time

#3. Larry Johnson vs. Alonzo Mourning

There was never any love lost between Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson, so when they got the opportunity to square off during Game 4 of the 1998 Eastern Conference quarter-finals, they literally grabbed it with both hands.

Mourning was apparently displeased with Johnson's aggressiveness over a rebound with just seconds left in the fourth quarter, and decided to take a swipe at his counterpart. An unrighteous brawl ensued on the court, and continued on until Jeff Van Gundy jumped in and found himself hanging onto Mourning's leg in quite comical fashion.

The players were fined a combined $32,500, and were also slapped with a two-game suspension each. Trust good old Van Gundy to find himself in the middle of a fight.
