Yeah like I said...the guy Artest swings at and the guy O'Neal hits is not the same person. One is a fan that came on the court and tried to fight Artest...the other one was the towel boy that was trying to throw the fan off the court.
Yes, this is what I saw also. Then at the end someone in a brown suit comes in and lays one on the other guy in the Piston's jersey who got inbetween Artest and the guy who squared off on him.

Yeah, that's who I thought was Mike Brown.Then at the end someone in a brown suit comes in and lays one on the other guy in the Piston's jersey
Right, I agree....... the two guys that got the biggest ass kicking were the fan wearing glasses and the ball boy...neither of whom were throwing punches.
That big black guy wasn't the towelboy either...the towelboy looks mexican it's not the same guy that was in the stands.
And the guy in the Piston's jersey is the one O'Neal laid the out too.
Yeah. He was the guy wearing the "Wallace" old-school shooting shirt and a beige cap.
He seems to try and pull Artest off the guy in glasses and a black shirt, then proceeds to get one or two shots at Artest's head from behind. Artest knocks him back with an elbow, then somebody comes in and hits the guy again - O'Neal maybe?
Okay... Maybe I'm a bad person for laughing at this... but did anyone see the look on that guy's face right between when he was taunting Artest and when he realized that Artest was coming after HIM?
I hope he's alright, but it was quite amusing.
O'neal hit the wrong dude, he hit the towel boy trying to break it up
The guy in the brown suit might be Chuck Person -- not Mike Brown. Chuck Person is in a brown suit ushering Artest out of the tunnel.
Well, this is a black eye on our sport and now a Spur NBA championship will mean a whole lot less because mainstream America will totally hate the NBA and go on and on about how it is full of gangsta thugs(probably true) and the class acts like ou SA team will be thrown into the gutter with the s .
I am sickened by all of this.
Brown Suit= Chuck Person?
Yeah that's the guy who threw the beer at Artest...and Artest goes after the wrong guy. Like a dumbass he just goes after any fan he gets first. I think the guy who hits him at the end was Fred Jones..and then some other guy grabs Jones and then punches him a few times.
I just looked up "Oh " in the online dictionary and there was a picture of that guy's face there.![]()
Also, the black guy in the suit fighting in the audience has an NBA credential around his neck -- that wasn't a fan.
Thats alot of bull Jim...if that's the case...then I guess the Red Sox championship means alot less because of that father-son duo that ran out on the field during a White Sox(I think) game and beat one of the White Sox coaches up.
It was quite a mess that's for sure.
I'd sure like to hear the radio broadcast since they had to be right on top of everything.
Yeah, I think you're right. The first time I saw it live I thought Mike Brown was the one in the brown suit there but I saw another clip where it looked like Mike had a grey suit on.
Damn, I hope that's not Mike Brown. Did anyone catch him on tape during the game? What was he wearing?
You realize your guys are done for the year, right?
No Finals for you. No way. Mark it now.
Think both teams are actually.
So much for the East "catching up" with the West....![]()
Duff, I will promise you that the NBA will be the redheaded stepchild of prosports from now on.
I don't think it's going to be as serious as you imply... as long as this is an isolated incident.Well, this is a black eye on our sport and now a Spur NBA championship will mean a whole lot less because mainstream America will totally hate the NBA and go on and on about how it is full of gangsta thugs(probably true) and the class acts like ou SA team will be thrown into the gutter with the s
The Mark Cuban in me even flirts with the possibility that this will create more interest. Particularly for future Pacers/Pistons games. Not that it's for the right reasons... but I don't think the game is in trouble by any stretch.
Are you guys sure it was the guy in the white hat that threw the drink?
I was watching the video and before its thrown...he is standing there with his hands in his pockets..and as Artest charges...he is still standing still with his hands in his pockets.
I never saw him throw it....but I might have missed something in the camera angles switching.
