Uh-oh fighting already?! Or maybe this is a good thing…just lots of passion?! Two player on the Brooklyn Nets got into a scuffle yesterday during practice. Jason Kidd & Deron Williams spoke on what happened. Details after the jump…
Via ESPN:
Brooklyn Nets big men Andray Blatche and Mirza Teletovic got into a scuffle during Sunday’s practice and had to be separated.
No punches were thrown, and the team quickly resumed drills.
“It’s great. That’s competition. That’s what it’s all about,” Nets coach Jason Kidd said. “This team is put together to compete at a high level, and you saw that. There’s nothing wrong with competition. Tempers might flare, but it’s all out of respect, because we’re all working hard, and as a coaching staff and as players, that’s what you need.”
Said onlooker Deron Williams: “It’s normal. It happens every year, 10 times a year, if that. It’s definitely competitive, guys are bumping and banging down there. You’re liable to have a couple of those.” Williams called it a “typical NBA fight.”
