Kirk Hinrich isn’t afraid to mix things up, as evidenced by this tussle he got into with Bradley Beal during Game 2 of the Bulls-Wizards series. Give Hinrich credit for taking off his goggles like a boss in case he and Beal started throwing actual punches, even though he was acting like a fake tough guy.
The goggle yank is the basketball equivalent of dropping the gloves in hockey, although it doesn’t look as if Beal was all that worried about going toe to toe with Kirk Hinrich, goggles or no goggles.
