The Detroit Shock’s Plenette Pierson and the Los Angeles Sparks’ Candace Parker started a melee last night after tangling twice over rebounding position. Rick Mahorn, Michael Cooper, and Bill Laimbeer ended up in the scrum, while Karl Malone’s daughter, Cheryl Ford, blew out her knee acting as peacemaker. This one is just ripe for an NBA “passing the torch” type of commercial. If we can watch Kevin Garnett and Bill Russell make virtual love to one another in a studio, I don’t see any reason we can’t watch Mahorn, Laimbeer, and their successors like Pearson and Parker discuss the finer points of antagonism and brawling.

Also, It seems there’s something about the Palace in Auburn Hills.
