FIGHT: Kendrick Nunn Got Choked On The Court & Superman Punched In The Tunnel By Tyrique Jones, Forcing A Riot Gear POLICE PRESENCE During The Olympiacos Title Clinching Win In The Greek Finals
Got some bananaland clips coming out of Greece that are the very definition of an electric factory. Had no idea the Greek's version of the NBA Finals were on today, let alone that they cared that much over there about roundball. Tough scenes for former NBA player Kendrick Nunn & his Panathinaikos. Taking the L in more ways than one. Although according to our friends at Wikipedia, Tyrique Jones is known for this kind of thing in the GBL. Certainly still a crazy ass way to celebrate winning a championship.
(SOURCE) - At the beginning of the 2025–26 season, Tyrique Jones was reported to be not in optimal physical condition, as he frequently dealt with minor injuries. Due to a minor injury, he missed a game against ASVEL in the EuroLeague. Although he was not included in the game roster, Jones was present at the arena and became involved in a verbal altercation with a referee following a disputed decision. Head coach Partizan Željko Obradović intervened and removed him from the situation.
Following Obradović’s departure from the Partizan bench in late November 2025, Jones reportedly became less popular among Partizan supporters. In the first game after Obradović’s exit, on 4 December against FC Bayern Munich (basketball) in the EuroLeague, he was booed by a section of the home crowd. Three weeks later, during a game against Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C., Jones was involved in a verbal confrontation with Partizan fans. Following these events, speculation increased regarding his potential departure from the club.
On 13 June 2026, during the third quarter of Game 5 of the Greek Basket League Finals between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, Jones was ejected after an on-court incident with Kendrick Nunn, during which he was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after grabbing Nunn around the neck. Following the game, which Olympiacos won, an additional altercation reportedly occurred in the Panathinaikos locker room area, where tensions escalated further

It's too bad that brawl became the story because it looked like a pretty fun day over there in Greece. Maybe I gotta get myself to an Olympiacos game someday? Looks like an incredible atmosphere. Vibes are immaculate. Other than the smoke bombs,cops in riot gear, and various players trying to kill each other.

Credit to the Greece Basketball League for having some serious motion. Or is this the Euroleague? I have no fuckin' idea, but think I just became a fan. No such thing as bad publicity as they say. Not everyday you get to see an elite player get choked out AND attacked in the tunnel during a clinching game. Your move, NY Knicks. Do it for Evan Fournier!
