Lets revisit Malice at the Palace :blessed:

[Azul]

Artest was on some late night show not to long ago talking about it they asked him what was said in the lockerroom afterward Artest was like "I went up to Stephen Jackson and asked him...Do you think we're gonna be suspended?"

He said Jax looked at him like and said "We went into the stand and fought with fans we'll be lucky if we're not kicked out the league"

If he hadn't slipped on Gatorade Lil Pun might be dead right now
That live thread on was classic

 

[Whitty Hutton]

But that's kinda the point....he ran in the stands with reckless abandon after a fan but when Wallace was walking him down he was on some I'm not in a position to criticize Ron Ron's G status though, we all know hes certified and lord knows I ain't about that life

Having a nikka shove you in the heat of battle aint the same as some cac with a sense of entitlement having nothing to do with the game feeling like he can toss drinks on you

Just came in to say this, that slide kept JO a free man cuz if his feet was firmly planted he literally woulda knocked that nikka block off...

 

[NormanConnors]

artest should have threw the hands with ben and none that other stuff would have happened lol

out of fear he took the least cost effective path

This is true however there is still no excuse for that shyt. We have seen Ron get into it with many a nikka on the court, including a coach. He has a rep for being crazy and a tough guy. However the moment a nikka bigger and stronger puts hands on him he is Mr Rational.

Just shed a tear watching this again. For nostalgia and from laughter

ESPN, make a 30 for 30 for us

wow what a teamate dumb move but what a teamate to put millions of dollars, your dream, life goal, and career on the line to help your teamate like that after THEY did a dumb thing...he also put his safety in jeopardy too...


this is the biggest thing i take away from it...

 

[Jack Martinez]

When that nervous white cop ran up on Artest and was finna spray him in tha

face wit some mace, then Reggie Miller jumps directly in front of Artest an'

starts yellin' at tha cop yellin' NOOOOO! NOOOOO!

That was a helluva heroic thing he did for Ron in that moment,

 

[61 Corpses]

fukk Ben Wallace for instigating this shyt

 

[Playeroni]

Damn...a tiki bobs and tonic reference

The last time i went to yak town that other bar the caldeans always went to had a shooting and nikkas shot at my homies truck...bullet hit the door frame

Seven I think it's called?

I don't like how people act like Ron wasn't tryna see Ben Wallace. Granted, Big Ben is a Virginia Union goon so a brawl is familiar to him. But nikkaz forget that Stern was already on Ron's ass and this Pacers team was championship worthy so to me him steppin off and goin to the table was a sign of real growth since he, and the team, thought it was more important to get a title than to scrap. Then some cac pisstons stan had to ruin it.

Notice also how Ben ain't to save the fans payin his check, just let them get slumped by them Pacer goons. smh, I fukked with that squad heavy them nikkaz was trill.

I agree, Ron was already getting bad flack for promoting Allure and I think that had something to do with Ben trying to start with him. I was watching the game and you could tell that the Pacers were the better team and this was a statement game even this early in the season.

Yep jax said that in his breakfast club interview

Captain Jack held Ron down that night and I will always salute him for that. The melee was so action packed, one thing after the other. I remember Ron on the table and Reggie standing in front of him in a suit like a body guard. Reggie was patting Ron like wait here on this table while Detroit calms down so we can finish the game. And you know what happened next.

I'm sorry but I have never once seen Artest respond like that either before or since. Beyond that Ben pushed the shyt outta that nikka...way worse than anything B. Knight or Harden did to him and he didn't go lay out on the table on them. nikka is a bully, period.

Spin it how you wish but it's just mighty funny how the one time he "took the high road" and had so much control and was so worried about disciplinary action was when he was face to face with a nikka bigger and stronger and down for whatever. Then he turns right back in to crazy Ron and says fukk all that shyt the moment a fan 20 rows away throws a beer on him. Ben coulda dumped an entire Gatorade cooler on that nikka and he would been like .

Artest is crazy, not stupid.
