Ralph Sampson - Game 5, 1986
Ralph Sampson brawled with Boston guard Jerry Sichting early in the contest and subsequently gave an incendiary live interview with CBS -- just moments after both players were ejected. The Rockets then routed the Celtics to extend the series to a sixth game. The Celtics won Game 6 big at Boston Garden to claim their 16th championship.
