Brawl in the NBA
 
If you're doing nothing at home now other than wacking off, turn on a sports channel. There was an enormous brawl at the Pistons-Pacers game. I think Artest is going to be suspended for a little while.

FPVPSI 11-20-2004 12:22 AM

I wanna see...Any video footage? I'm in Australia and they dont show much NBA on T.V... :cry:

Toronto 11-20-2004 01:07 AM

it wasn't that "enormous" no punches landed from Artest anyways, but it was funny it was with a fan, and then the guy on the broad cast team or somthing stepped in.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 19 (Ticker) -- Stephen Jackson made quite a first impression on the overheated rivalry between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons.

Jackson delivered knockout punches of all kinds as the Pacers brawled with fans in the stands and on the court after a 97-82 victory over the Pistons, a game that was called with 45 seconds to play.

In one of the craziest melees in NBA history, Jackson, Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal all delivered haymakers to unruly Pistons fans, who showed the worst side of their behavior by throwing everything from plastic bottles to chairs at members of the Pacers.

The Pacers fought back. Several went into the stands to accost fans who had thrown things.

Fans continued to throw things and verbally accost members of the Pacers.

Referees called the game, which forced the Pacers to make their way through a gauntlet of angry fans who continued to throw objects despite pleas from Pistons coach Larry Brown. Players and team officials were showered with beer, soda and popcorn.

Replay of the game will be on ESPN2 at 3am.

ahahahahahahha......lmao.....some fan right above the artest brawl, got smoked by a right hand......and then o'neal get's all this shit dumped as he's leaving........greatest game off all time

dingo 11-20-2004 03:10 AM

That was awesome....and knowing the USA lawsuits are sure to follow. This is what Quentin Richardson (Phoenix Suns player) had to say:
"I have never seen a fight like that in a game since I was in high school, Man, there are going to be some lawsuits. You don't think some of those fans aren't going to want some NBA money?"

It seems a few fans will plan on getting rich out of this. :(

adamk24 11-20-2004 06:41 AM

HAHAHa I always get a kick out of big brawl fights, but this one is particularly entertaining because it involved a bunch of famous athletes. :mrgreen: Sure was great to see that fat idiot get decked though :lol:

gis 11-20-2004 08:04 AM

LOL awesome,im d/l the video of it,this should be fun fans vs players.i wonder if this tops the knicks and lakers brawls,LOL

was it knicks and lakers that had the brawl?

Stikz 11-20-2004 03:22 PM

this was the biggest fight i've ever seen that was not at a soccer game. I think it qualifies as 'enormous'. The entire lower bowl seemed to be involved in it. ANd the fat Spanish guy on the floor was lucky that O'neal slipped as he threw his punch or else it would've been curtains for sure. Still looking for a working video link.

As well they should from the nba players if they didnt hit or throw first but were injured.

The people involved.. nba players and fans that did attack the players should all be in jail right now. Thats what happens when you fight.

Getting hit with a plastic cup by a fan does not under any circumstances justify running up into the stands to deck the person involved.

Sachmo12345 11-20-2004 04:07 PM

will someone upload the video to the vault... everylink given above doesnt work

ZfrkS62 11-20-2004 04:17 PM

another fight just broke out in a college football game a few minutes ago.
this is getting rediculous. WTF is so important about a damn game that teams have to resort to throwing punches? i don't even expect behavior like this from little kids, let alone grown adults.

FPVPSI 11-20-2004 05:42 PM

^^ Sweet any footage of that? Nahhh all shit aside it's pretty poor behavior from "Professional" athlets, little kids watch this shit... :roll: ...theres something about fights in sport )other then boxing etc etc) thats sweet...The aussie members will remember the punch on early this year in the AFL...the hawthorn one...DAMN...i'll try and find some footage!

ZfrkS62 11-20-2004 06:57 PM

i'll see if i can find it. but i doubt it

DeMoN 11-20-2004 10:59 PM

i just saw the one on espn news link

other is pswd proctected

dingo 11-21-2004 05:25 AM

He (O'Neal) actually got 25 games, Jackson got 30 and Artest is gone for the season (which equals 73 games).....which is the longest suspension in NBA history. :D

gis 11-22-2004 07:02 AM

I couldn't find the video. They must have gotten slammed on bandwidth usage. I did find the video here pretty much in it's entirety.

Oh, nevermind, I found the 'download' section at the basketbrawl site. :roll:

...that fan should have never been on the floor in the first place.......all the security guards didn't escort him......just stood around while O'neal ran from the other side of the court.....same goes for Artest....he was just lying their......and he got hit in the face......whatever there's blame on both sides......but that fan froze like a deer in headlights....which is hilarious

Actually he was standing up.

exactly......and did nothing to avoid a freight train

Id like to see you avoid a freight train.. when you werent even looking at the guy till the last second, using your hands to stand up, and the guy ran at you out of a crowd.

Im not saying the fan didnt deserve to get hit standing on the court.. But that is basically as cheap as punching someone while their head is turned.

Its not like he was the person that knocked the guy down and was finnishing the job..
He just runs out of nowhere and randomly punches someone.

well what do u expect when some fan runs onto the floor and then tries to fight a 6foot8 250 pounds pissed off monster......what does he expect an autograph........well he got his face autographed with Artest's fist

....which is what makes it funny
+ it wasn't random.....stupid faggot fans should run on the court, throw bottles at players or get up into coaches, police, security and players faces

graywolf624 11-22-2004 11:10 PM

Quote:

throw bottles at players
A bottle doesnt equal a plastic cup..

And I do believe thats o'neal deckign the guy.. Artest hit the guy before that. O neal wasnt even involved and came from off screen and hit him as he got up from artest nailing him...



Full video here:

Max Power 11-22-2004 11:15 PM

the fag fan should have never stormed the pacers bench....he got what he deserved......him and that other guy who Artest tatooted both got what they deserved.....they went looking for trouble and they found it......no excuse for them to try fighting players or team personnel.....O'neal saw that that faggot was about to do something stupid and nailed him
.....there was a chair thrown, buckets of popcorn and plastic bottles.......look at the video

graywolf624 11-22-2004 11:26 PM

The whole thing was set off by a plastic cup..

And just being on the court DOES NOT justify hitting someone.

Thats not the way the law sees it.. and ill bet mr oneal winds up in jail.

Max Power 11-22-2004 11:42 PM

how much?
....if they were smart.......the security guards......20 of them standing around looking like useless bags of lard........could have stepped in, but instead they watched as random fights broke out......
....and the jail thing.....if kobe didn't go to jail, what makes u think O'neal will?

graywolf624 11-22-2004 11:48 PM

Kobe wasnt on video tape.

Pete rose got banned for betting.. and yet hitting a fan in basketball results in a slap on the wrist.

every player in the stands throwing punches should be in jail. and so should the fans.

they all should get the maximum sentence. the fans had no reason to attack, and the players should have shown much more restraint than to run up into the stands immediately and start KOing the people that fund their lavish salaries. Fuck, i wish i got paid millions of dollars for doing something useless :roll:

Max Power 11-23-2004 12:46 AM

this all happended with 30s left in the game with Pistons winning easily.....why the hell did Artest foul ..... I had a huge laugh watching the highlights, great entertainment.....otherwise it would have been a mad boring game
/\/\/\/\/\ u should add the o'neal gif to the watermelon thing :D

ZfrkS62 11-23-2004 01:07 AM

you mean when he threw the punch and slipped?

the watermelon thing is already a half meg. i need to get it shortened a bit . if i added another i'd probably get lynched by the 56K group. :lol:

africanmojo 11-23-2004 11:48 PM

the fans got what they deserve. i can say i play ball twice a week and if i got hit in the face with a cup of anything i would have done the same things as Artest did. Jermaine O'Neil hit the guy that tackled Artest after he hit his friend as both those guys ran on the court and that is something you should never do as a fan and that is why they got what they deserve. no charges have been filled they are finding out how did what and then going to be banning fans for life and such but so far the cops have not filled charges and are not sure if they will.

gis 11-24-2004 07:28 AM

^^^ i dont think you wouldl have done what artest did exactly.bein hit by a cup (which u must expect sumtimes bein the away team) doesnt justify you goin into the crowd and punching the fan and then o-neal and jackson goinn in hitting.....they had no reason to at all

personally i think this was all set up from artest.there was a 10 minute talk during the pacers and celtics game last night and IMO its true what they said,artest wanted time off and he wouldnt be given it to promote his CD......what a better way to get publicity than gettin banned for fighting with players and fans,he now gets his time off..a lot of it and he gets time to promote his CD.

so_innocent 11-24-2004 07:53 AM

Although Artest shouldn't have climbed up and hit the fan, it is disappointing to see how the fans behaved. Truth is, yes it is a hard foul, but it's not the worst i've seen, so the fans should not have thrown cups at Artest at all!
