John and Steve are playing one-on-one basketball. John charges Steve bumping into him and fouling Steve. Steve is angered by this. Later, Steve thinks John is charging him again and rather than letting John bump him, Steve punches John in the face knocking him down (not part of the game). John sues Steve for the injury. What is the likely result? 1) Steve was negligent in how he played basketball and will have to pay for the injury. 2) Steve battered John and would be liable to John for any damages. 3) John assumed the risk of basketball and being injured while playing and cannot recover from Steve. 4) John consented to play the sport of basketball with Steve and cannot now sue and win after he is injured
