Milwaukie Bucks' Victorian born and raised point guard Matthew Dellavedova has provided the NBA world a glimpse of his AFL roots.

Playing against the Washington Wizards, Delly stopped opponent Bradley Beal from driving to the net by dishing out an age old coat-hanger.

With heavy physical contact frowned upon in the NBA, it's safe to say Delly's defensive tactics didn't go down well, with his Washington opponents trying to get up in the Aussie point guard's face.

The referees also took exception to Delly's defensive tactics, ejecting him for the remainder of the game.

Still, his opponents will think twice when trying to drive past him to the net now.
