Why does it feel like we see this same exact scenario play out at least once a month now? Player A goes up for a dunk. Player B attempts to block him. Player A takes issue with the block attempt. And then—ding, ding, DING!—the fight is on.

We saw it happen during a high school basketball game last month. And here, you can see it happen again during a game between the Spanish pro teams Laboral Kutxa and Bibao Basket. A Bilbao player goes up to slam one home, a Laboral player tries to block him, and then all hell breaks loose with players from both teams exchanging punches. Fortunately, security was able to step in and break things up pretty quickly. But eight players were eventually ejected and Laboral head coach Ibon Navarro called the entire episode "disgraceful."

See for yourself in the video above. There was really no need for things to get this heated.
