NBA vows no fighting after Abdul Jabbar punch
Commissioner O'Brien promises strict action against fighting in games after Kareem Abdul Jabbar's one punch knocked out Kent Benson. A $5 000 fine, the largest in league history, sidelined Abdul Jabbar for about a month due to a broken hand, while Benson suffered a concussion and facial cuts. Officials stress deterrence and pre season meetings to reinforce rules and penalties.
