That wasn't a fight, that was a straight beat down. That dude should get into some type of fighting. Much respect to the way he stayed out of the other guys reach and then dropped bombs on him.

These guys are roommates? Chilling in beautiful Hawaii? Did they know they were cameras at nationally viewed games/tournaments? Was the skinny little white dude trying/failing to break them up on crack? Is the coach making them fly next to each other on the plane back home? Will they still be on each others buddy list? Was it over a woman or was it the typical "I can't friggin stand living with you anymore" inevitable show down?

Sad part is these guys will be labeled and known for this. They should have done like the Hawaiians do,... went and found their own beach with nobody else around and have at it.

Doug Gottlieb on ESPN said the fight was because Sidney tried to get up to go to the concession stand and Bailey wouldn't move his legs aside to let Sidney get by.

So they started arguing and did what any of us would do, started throwing haymakers at each other!

FWIW, Dee Bost the PG on the team(not eligible yet) said the fight wasn't Sidney's fault so I guess that means it was Bailey who pushed it.

That sucks for Sidney, but anybody who watched that beatdown won't be messing with him.

Unsolicited advice.

Do not attempt to break up a fight.
