Ex-Piston Arron Afflalo tried to punch a much larger man and it didn't end well

ORLANDO - Arron Afflalo is 6'5'', 210 pounds.

Nemanja Bjelica is 6'10'', 230 pounds.

But that didn't stop the Orlando Magic guard from going after the Minnesota Timberwolves forward midway through the second quarter of their game in Orlando on Tuesday night.

The incident occurred when Afflalo, who was a first round draft pick of the Detroit Pistons in 2007, attempted to stop the Serbian national from getting a rebound. After Bjelica delivered a subtle forearm shiver to get to the basket, Afflalo threw a sweeping punch with his right hand as play continued.

The punch appeared to miss Bjelica's face, but that didn't stop him from putting the much-smaller Afflalo in a headlock as players converged around the pair.
