    "The game was all but over in the dying seconds when a frustrated Balkman lost the plot after a non-call on an offensive play late in the match at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, confronting the referees and later shoving away Petron coaches and players who tried to pacify him."
    He first berates a ref, and then goes after his teammates when they try to settle him down."

    Probably one big reason why he was always a scrub in the NBA. :p

    Knicks 1st round pick. I remember everyone was so surprised when the Knicks selected him. He wasn't even suppose to get drafted lol.

    At first I thought the dude recording this was commentating... then at the end, I realized it was a professional commentator, not him.

    And we all thought they had mistakenly tried to draft Rolando Blackman.

    Santos deserves some blame here...Balkman is visibly upset, he gives you a little shove to get some space and you push him back? You didn't think that would put him over the top?

    In that situation, Santos has to let it go. It wouldn't be the first time a teammate got shoved aside like that.

    First time I've seen a player choke someone on his team that wasn't the head coach though.

    hahaha

    Balkman probably hates playing in the Philippines. This is part of his master plan to get him deported back to the US

    And just like that, his NBA prospects, if any, are probably over.
