Corey Benjamin Daughter Sucker Punches Opponent
Corey Anderson might be not known as one of the most successful first round picks in the NBA yet he managed to represent the iconic Chicago Bulls in his four-year stint. Averaging more than 5 points in his career, the 43-years-old was criticized along with his daughter, for the latter’s loss of temper in a viral video wherein she can be seen sucker punching her opponent for no good reason, leaving hoop fans in rage.

The incident took place in Garden Grove, California. The culprit tripped herself while taking a jump shot and her way back ‘unnecessarily’ threw a sucker punch onto the victim, which left her all dozed out on the floor.
