The China v. Georgetown brawl got me thinking who I'd like most as teammates during a brawl like that. In their primes.....

PG - Scott Skiles. Yeah, he's short and white, but he was tough as nails. Actually fought Shaq once.
SG - Stephen Jackson.
SF - Anthony Mason.
PF - Oakley. One of the baddest mf'ers ever.
C - Rick Mahorn.

Bench:

G - Jon Starks
G - Ron Artest
F - Karl Malone
F - Kermit Washington
F/C - Unseld

EDIT: Have gotten some great suggestions, so changing it up a bit.

Tough call, finding one power forward for this list (though you have KW out of position at SF). Leaving Maurice Lucas off the team is tough, but I can't argue with Oakley.

If Stephen Jackson is not on the list, it's bogus. And no Pistons?

First name that should come to mind... DENNIS RODMAN. Seriously. And as ter already mentioned, gotta have the bad boys (Pistons) on there. Bill Laimbeer.

Honorable mention goes to Charles Barkley. He also fought Shaq. Guy takes crap from no one. Even threw a guy out of a bar window here in AZ.

Yeah, power forward was a real logjam (thus my putting Kermit out of position). So many badasses at that position.

As a fellow pasty cheap-shot artist, I want to like Bill Laimbeer. But I can't put him on the fighter list. He just looks soft.

I know very little about basketball, but I'm going to submit Tyrone Hill, just because I would not want to fight someone that ugly.

Sure, Laimbeer could throw an elbow or hit an opponent with a cheap shot and Rodman bulked up after he left Detroit, but if you're talking about the Detroit Bad Boys, you gotta go with the baddest of them all... Rick Mahorn

It's so funny that you said that. Tyrone Hill and Bo Outlaw were two guys I thought of but I was like "they're just really really ugly, I don't know if they can actually fight or not."

What about swapping out Skiles with either Gary Payton or John Starks?

Yeah, substitute Stephen Jackson for Ron Artest. Artest is ornery, but Jackson is just plain crazy. He ran into the stands during the infamous brawl without being provoked!

There's gotta be a place for Anthony Mason. Dude was built like a brick shithouse. Actually, you could just use the entire starting roster of the 1994 New York Knicks.

Stephen Jackson is scary. My section at Heat games is right behind the visitors basket so we have a lot of fun heckling opposing players (almost never personal or out of line, but some pretty good taunting).

We saw him while he was with Indiana and a group of 5 of us saw him walking back to the bench after being substituted, so we started heckling him...the dude just stopped in his tracks and just stared us down. I was honestly terrified he was about to break into a dead sprint and come kill us all

Funny because I was thinking about how that G'town team needed some more Charles Oakley.

Don''t forget the coach position - "peacemaker" Jeff Van Gundy hanging on Zo 98 playoffs.
