Renaldo Balkman freaked out during a Philippine Basketball Association game last night, shoving referees, coaches and teammates before eventually putting his hands on the throat of teammate, Arwind Santos.

Link includes video.

Wow! I saw him and his family at Miyabi's in the Harbison area a while back. He seemed very laid back

Latt7more · 03-08-2013, 11:53 AM

Way to represent! It's clear Renaldo feels he's above the Philippines...probably still brags about being a first round pick.

If it weren't funny it would be sad.

ShutTheSuccop · 03-08-2013, 12:47 PM

I know he was a gamecock, but what a pos...attacking a teammate is a joke

spareparts · 03-08-2013, 02:24 PM

He's better than Lebron James

Pulling a Sprewell in Saigon.

simsar4 · 03-08-2013, 02:55 PM

Wow, I wonder what he has going on in his life that has him reacting like this?

Emery · 03-08-2013, 03:49 PM

He went buckwild but it wasn't awful. The only thing is choking his teammate, but even that wasn't as advertised.

Lets be honest with ourselves...if we were first round drafts picks, traded and back again and finally released. Find ourselves playing basketball in saigon, then fighting during a game would be the least amount of trouble many of us would be in.

As advertised by WIS 10? (this tweet was the first I saw/heard of it - was thinking "Holy ****!")

A lot of words are loosely tossed around these days.

Please translate what the announcer said at the 1:03 mark, right after "this is the first time ever....."

From the comments:

"Was that Triumph The Insult Comic Dog announcing?"

Really? that's what you're angry about? he choked a teammate and you're trying to stick up for him because he didn't TECHNICALLY strangle him?

spareparts · 03-08-2013, 08:32 PM

He is out of freakin control in that video, no one can stop him

Except Batman.

I'm confident Batman could stop him. After that it's anybody's guess.

Take up for him? Where the **** did I take up for him? My comment was about a "NEWS" service saying Balkman "killed" (ie; "strangled") someone.

Lighten up, Frances.

sc455 · 03-08-2013, 10:42 PM

geez, it is kinda hard to defend him when he grabs someones neck. i am sure he was hot about the officiating or what not but choking a guy is probably not a good thing.
