Marv Albert, 50 Cent in Backstage Brawl

This gets the award for "Most Unlikely Brawl."  On Wednesday night, Marv Albert was a featured guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The musical guest that evening was 50 Cent.

Albert arrived at the studio with TNT's P.R. specialist Jeff Pomeroy as Marv was in town for the Lakers / Bulls game, which was to be broadcast on TNT the following night.

It seems as though Marv Albert and 50 Cent don't hang out in the same circles as 50's people were unfamiliar with Albert, resulting in a minor skirmish backstage, according to a source.

As the brawl was escalating, a Jimmy Kimmel show guard yelled, "It's Marv Albert," which had virtually no effect on the 50 Cent crew.

Fists went flying.  Someone overheard, "Don't you put your hands on me!"

Albert finally managed to get back to his waiting room.

"Did you see that?" he said. "I thought they were kidding, but then I realized they weren't."

It's a good thing 50 Cent's people didn't yell, "Bite me!"
