Kendrick Perkins Straight Up Clotheslined Damian Lillard

Kendrick Perkins had to get ejected after that one.

Few things immediately pisses a guy off more than getting clotheslined on a basketball court. The sudden violence of it makes you immediately want to start knocking heads when you come to your senses. Damian Lillard's case is no different. While he was on one of his drives to the hoop, he caught a mean clothesline from Kendrick Perkins. As you'd expect, tempers flared; basketball players don't take it too kindly when their star teammate gets strangled.

Fortunately, Lillard was uninjured and nobody caught a two-piece. But Perkins did get hit with a Flagrant 2 as he was tossed from the game.
