The incident happened when Landale and Jones were students at Geelong Grammar 10 years ago.
In the writ filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria, it is said that on February 7, 2013, Jock Landale, who was 12 at the time, pushed Jones, who was ten at the time, to the ground.
The NBA player then jumped on Jones’ lower stomach to the song’s beat, so the story goes.
The suit says that he had to have a discectomy to get rid of damaged discs in his spine, which made it hard for him to focus and study.
Max Jones sued Geelong Grammar for being careless and mishandling the situation. He also sued the second defendant, Jock Landale, for an attack.
But Landale has denied those charges and won’t say anything else.
