Former Chicago Bulls NBA player Corey Benjamin apologized after his daughter sucker punched a girl at a Southern California basketball game.
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — A former NBA player has issued an apology after his daughter was seen at a youth basketball game in Southern California’s Orange County throwing a vicious sucker punch that left another girl with a concussion. Corey Benjamin apologized to the victim and said he was “shocked and disappointed at my daughter’s behavior.”Benjamin, a SoCal native, played on the Chicago Bulls from 1998 to 2001 and had a short stint with the Atlanta Hawks. He also played on international teams in Europe and Asia.”This is not how I raised my daughter,” a statement from Benjamin said. But even as he issued the apology, video has emerged of an earlier, similar incident involving his daughter. The video shows her at another game throwing a wild punch at the player who is guarding her on the court and then chasing after another player who tries to pull her away as chaos breaks out.
