Right Up In Your Face

Professional sport is high octane and high stakes, and things can get heated sometimes. Sometimes a player can lose their heads, and confrontations happen like what happened in this photo; Where two high-profile players got a little rough in a high-stakes game.

This incident happened in 2017 between Tristan Thompson, the then-Cleveland Cavaliers, and David West, who played for the Golden State Warriors. The tension between them had been building up from previous games but ignited in this one, with them getting in each other’s faces. Two referees couldn’t get them apart, and teammates had to step in.
