NBA player gets KO'd by cheap shot to the back of the head

Fists don't often fly in the NBA, so when they do it's a news worth story. Unfortunately for Mo Wagner he just became a highlight after being sent to the shadow realm by Killian Hayes.

The incident happened after Wagner gave Hayes a bump from behind into the bench. As Wagner stood engaged with another member of the Pistons, Hayes stood up and delivered a shot to the back of Wagner's head.

While the shot doesn't look too hard, there is a nerve on the back of the head that can easily turn someone's lights out. This is one of the reasons MMA bans shots to this location. Either way, just another reason hockey players are tougher than basketball players.
