El hostión de Artest en la pista, al cretino con la camiseta de los Pistons, tampoco está mal. El tipo aguanta como un campeón, pero está ko de pie. 😛 La verdad de esta historia es que se cargaron a un equipo que aspiraba al anillo, y lo hicieron para ejemplificar, y no por la exactitud de los hechos. Porque los hechos están claros, y Artest se retira de la pelea hasta que le agreden por segunda vez, en esta ocasión desde la grada. A partir de ahí, los jugadores de los Pacers se defienden. Y claro, imponen su superioridad física. Esto ya pasó en los años 80, en el pabellón antiguo del Madrid, en un Real Madrid vs Maccabi Tel Aviv, de la copa de Europa. En una jugada protestada por los hebreos, el público lanzó algo hacia la pista, que impactó en uno de los americanos del Maccabi. Saltó a la grada de forma muy parecida, y sólo otro americano de los macabeos pudo reducirle, y lanzarle literalmente de un empujón de nuevo a la pista. Eran otros tiempos, el partido se reanudó diez minutos después, y juraría que el jugador no fue expulsado.. 😛

[@JBFootball4208]

I’m sorry but I don’t think Ron Artest did anything wrong 1) He committed a normal/hard foul and it didn’t deserve Ben Wallace to push him. Ben Wallace let his emotions get the best of him and pushed Artest. 2) Artest tried to remove himself from the equation and he did as best he could. He lied down on the scores table. 3) The problem seemed solved but then a man threw beer on Artest and Artest responded. I don’t care who would’ve thrown the beer but I believe if you throw a beer on someone you deserve to get an ass whoopin. 4) He punched a fan on the court. There may have been no excuse to do this but we don’t necessarily know yet. The fan could’ve said something and tbh the fan shouldn’t have been on the court anyway so then again it was the fans fault. 5) He tried to get into the locker room and got more beer thrown at him. So yes I do believe Artest could’ve handled his emotions better but still I believe to this day that Artest didn’t do anything wrong. (Just my opinion, please do come at for this)

ohhh for sure, he didn’t make a move to engage back at Wallace after he pushed him in the face which was huge cause he just walked away and didn’t react, I’m just saying none of the players are to blame for the start of the that night cause it was really the fans who instigated it by throwing shit

[@jp3813]

You didn't mention that this is the major reason why the refs became stricter and continue to hinder the physicality of the league to this very day. The funny thing is, a player attacking a fan is nothing new in the NBA. In Game 6 of the 1981 ECF between the Celtics and Sixers at Philadelphia, Boston's Cedric Maxwell physically attacked an old guy in the crowd for something that the latter said. Yet even though there was shouting between the fans and players, the situation didn't mindlessly escalate into a brawl. Afterwards, Maxwell didn't even get a technical and was allowed to stay in the game as well as the rest of the postseason, inexplicably robbing Larry Bird of that year's Finals MVP.

[@merciless41582]

This was the most intense rivalry in the NBA in the early 2000s. This incident killed in the Pacers franchise for several years, and put a dagger in any chance of them being a dynasty. The Pistons and Pacers hated each other back then. You have to remember, this incident happened just 5 months after the 2003-2004 Eastern Conference Finals when the Pistons eliminated the favored Pacers. The Pacers had won 61 games that season, they were the number 1 overall seed in the playoffs, and many believed they were the favorite to win the NBA title. Ron Artest was playing like a top 3 player in the NBA, they had a deep bench, Jermaine O Neal was a baller, Stephen Jackson was a baller, Jamaal Tinsley was a baller. They were a complete and solid team on both sides of the ball. Fast forward 5 months later. The Pacers were the favorites once again to win the of the Eastern Conference. Jermaine O'Neal was solidifying himself as a MVP candidate. Ron Artest would've easily won Defensive Player of the Year. They already steamrolled out the gate to a solid record, and they took it to the Pistons in this game. Slaughtered them, and the game wasn't even close. Then the Malice at the Palace happens. This incident killed the Pacers season, they fell off a cliff, and they never would be the same again after this. In fact they wouldn't have a winning record until the 2011-12 7 years later. Had this incident not happened, I think the Pacers would've been a dynasty team much like what the Warriors have been. They were that damn good.

[@artrobert0875]

Im a hoosier and was a die hard pacer fan. I was 13 years old when the malace in the palace happened, i was so pumped for that year. Still am a pacer fan but this def tainted them for me. Also worth noting this was reggies last year. Such a bummer

[@dancer4life__30]

I was 10 years old at the time and I remember this game because I watched it on TV. Let me tell you, it was crazy to say the least. Ben Wallace was dealing with the death of his brother (according to Stephen Jackson) and it takes a LOT to get him (Ben) pissed off. Reggie Miller went over to Artest and put his hand on his chest while he was on the scores table to calm him down. Long story short, I will never forget it.
