Kevin Johnson on 1993 NBA Violence
Late in the 1992-93 regular season, after Shaq slugged it out with Alvin Robertson, after Charles Barkley winged Scottie Pippen in the All-Star Game, after Reggie Miller tried to choke out Michael Jordan, another bench clearing brawl—this time primarily involving Kevin Johnson, Doc Rivers, and Greg Anthony—the NBA finally decided to act in response to an accelerated uptick in violence. Prior to the start of the 1993 NBA Playoffs, the league released this update:"Any player who throws a punch now immediately ejected from the game, suspended for at least one game, and fined an appropriate dollar amount. Any player throwing a punch that connects with another player will be ejected from the game, suspended for a minimum of one to five games, and fined an appropriate dollar amount. Teams will also be fined an amount equal to the total sum of their players’ fines. Any player leaving the bench area during a fight will be fined $2,500, up from $500, and that player’s team will be fined $5,000 for each of its players who leave the bench area."
1993 marked the gentle beginning of the end for the wild west physicality of the late 80's, early 90's NBA. There were still brawls (the Chicago JoJo English fiasco in 1994, the LJ-Zo-Van Gundy situation, Malice in the Palace, etc.) but the league slowly began reforming as the years carried on, quelling the fights themselves with increased ramifications while also going after suggested precursors to potential physical disputes in the form of a crackdown on verbal taunting and even hanging on the rim after a dunk.
