Basketball News: Ex-NBA Player’s Daughter May Have Anger Management Issue

The daughter of former Chicago Bulls player Corey Benjamin appears to have a temper.

After she delivered a sucker punch to the 15-year-old girl from Dream Academy a week ago, new videos have emerged showing her actions in another on-court fight.

According to TMZ, the footage was taken weeks before the girl had left Lauryn Ham sprawled on the floor during the SoCal Blaze vs. Dream Academy youth basketball game held at the Map Sports Facility last November 7.

In the previous game, the daughter of Benjamin could be seen on the video jockeying for position underneath the basket in the game that was held in Del Amo, California.

Benjamin’s daughter, later on, lost it and ended up throwing punches at the girl she was trying to fight for position with.

Both exchanged blows, but the scuffle did not end there as she ended up trading blows with another smaller girl who rushed to the aid of her teammate.

Benjamin’s daughter would be later hit with an indefinite ban by officials for the incident.

It could not be confirmed if the 43-year-old former NBA player was aware of that prior incident.

As previously reported, Benjamin--who also had a stint with the Atlanta Hawks--said that it was not how he raised his daughter, NBC LA reported.

He also issued an apology to the family of Ham for the unfortunate incident.

"To the young lady who was punched by my daughter during a youth basketball game, I sincerely apologize to you and I am praying for your complete healing both physically and emotionally. To her family, I deeply apologize and regret that this happened to your daughter as she did not deserve this to happen to her," Benjamin stated.

It also remains to be seen if the parents of the two girls that Benjamin’s daughter had a fistfight with would follow the lead of Alice Ham, the mother of Lauryn.

The elder Ham is pressing charges after believing that the attack on her daughter was a different level of assault.

The Ham family’s attorney, Kevin Hahn, said that the issue is more than one teenager hitting another player during the game.
