Former University of Cincinnati and NBA star Jason Maxiell is making the Internet rounds after an entertaining YouTube video of him playing in the Chinese Basketball Association was posted Wednesday.

Maxiell, who played for UC from 2001 to 2005, is seen in the video taking a hard foul from an opposing player and chasing that player around the court. After the brief pursuit, Maxiell is restrained by other players who seemingly defuse the situation.

The 6-foot-7-inch Maxiell was the Conference USA leader in blocks his senior season at UC. He was selected with the 26th overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. Maxiell's NBA career ended in 2014 and he signed with Tianjin in August 2015.

Maxiell's Tianjin Gold Lions teammate, former Xavier standout Jordan Crawford, scored 72 points earlier this season.
