Watch The Game Land A Sucker Punch During Basketball Game

by HHL Editors

Yesterday, we reported that The Game was being investigated for punching another player in the face during a Pro Am basketball game and then fleeing the scene.

We now have video of the incident, which went down Sunday at Hollywood High School's gym.

According to TMZ, The Game is claiming the two had been elbowing each other, and the guy threatened Game with a gun saying, "don't make me go to my gym bag because ... I got that thing."

Then he made a fist, which led to The Game slugging him.

The video doesn't really support Game's making-a-fist explanation.  In fact, the victim had both hands on the ball right before he got hit.

As for the gun threat ... It's possible, although folks who talk so openly about their firearm don't usually call the police after taking one punch.

Update: It turns out the guy The Game slugged was an off duty cop. Which could explain why he threatened to get his gun and then involved the police. Both Game and the cop are now being investigated, according to TMZ.
