In this clip, Gary Payton recounted an incident with his good friend and former teammate Vernon Maxwell. After chirping back-and-forth during practice, Gary said things escalated to the point he armed himself with a 10 lb weight to hit Maxwell but ended up hitting Horace Grant instead, leaving him with a busted head.

That's why when I hear all of this noise on how this era is tougher than this era. How many guys have been suspended or career has ended due to fighting? Or arrest? The stories are mostly about what ALMOST happened. Players understanding the business side of it more today makes even more less of a chance. Not softer just smarter.
