Both benches cleared and players started throwing kicks and punches at each other.

After they were separated and play was stopped, China's players attacked the Brazilians while they were walking to the locker room. The Brazilians reportedly refused to play the rest of the game.

They actually tried to run into the locker room and got cut-off by the Chinese team and beat down. That was a shameful display of cowardice. I really thought they were fighters. Being willing to fight is a pscycological part of playing basketball. It is called gamesmanship. Even to coaches were running.

The Brazillian ball player got stomped out.

What ever happened to Jiu Jitsu, Gracie Fighting moves, Capoeira, elbow strikes, cartwheel kicks and all that Brazillian Ultimate cage fighting?

Got their butts run off the court. Fight back for crying out loud.

He's actually an American (Bob Donewald jr) and he had already been ejected for mouthing off by the time that fight broke out.

What a joke. My grandmother could throw better jabs. I'd hardly label this a "fight"...Looked more like kids playing patty cake.

Basketball skills don't translate into fighting skills.

Although the Chinese players showed that fighting dirty is global. I mean when 3-4 guys are stomping and kicking one guy on the ground, that's about as bad as it gets.

FIBA needs to come down hard on the Chinese for this. Restarting the fight after the Brazilians were walking away was too much. Needs to be a multi-year ban from International play for China
