03/15/08 - Man Involved In B-Ball Brawl With The Game Files Lawsuit Against Rapper

Shannon Rodrick, the man who was involved in the basketball brawl that sent The Game to prison, has reportedly filed a civil lawsuit against the Los Angles bred rapper.

According to TMZ, Rodrick claims in his lawsuit that he exchanged words with The Game during a basketball game at South L.A.'s Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex on February 27th, 2007. Rodrick claims Game would punch him and point a firearm at him making threats.

Game would receive a 60 day jail sentence last month as part of plea deal after pleading no contest to a felony charge of possession of a firearm in a school zone. The rapper would turn himself into the Los Angeles Twin Towers Correctional Facility on March 3rd and would only serve eight days of the sentence and be released.

Rodrick claims that he suffered extreme and severe mental anguish and humiliation from the incident as well as physical injuries. The suit also names the parties that sponsored the basketball game claiming that they neglected to protect Rodrick and provide a violence free environment.

Rodrick’s suit is seeking punitive damages as well as compensation for attorney fess and medical expenses.
