NBA Player Throws A Punch During Pro-Am Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Brandon Goodwin thought it was a good idea to throw a punch during a recent pro-am game.

During a pro-am game in Atlanta, the former Nuggets player threw a right hook at a player after the two appeared to exchange words.

Despite his best efforts, it didn't look like Goodwin was able to connect.

Goodwin, who appeared in 36 games with the Cavs last season, must have been really upset to throw a punch in a pro-am game.

You shouldn't even throw a punch in a game, and you definitely shouldn't do it in a game that doesn't matter.

Goodwin appeared to acknowledge the situation just boiled over with a tweet following the game.

Seriously, if you're an NBA player with a lot of money to lose, trying to jack up a guy's face seems like a very stupid thing to do.

That's even more true when you're a fringe NBA player and far from a star. Guys like Goodwin are replaceable. As we all know, replaceable guys don't get as much leeway.
