Basketball in 1950
To begin the 1949-50 season, following a three year battle for fans and players, the Basketball Association of America (BAA) agreed to absorb the rival National Basketball League (NBL), creating the new National Basketball Association (NBA).
Charles Barkley leaped a scorer's table to chase referee Jim Clark after the Phoenix Suns' 106-103 loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, resulting in a $10,000 fine & a game suspension.
Barkley felt he was fouled on a shot attempt with :12 left, and said he was upset by a comment made by Clark about "this is gonna cost you money".
Video includes postgame comments by Barkley.
