Jesus fuck, I was just coming in here to post about it.

 

That wasn't a fight, that was almost a fucking riot - pure hooligan style. Total insanity. Players fighting fans in the seats, fans punching players from behind like vaginas, the entire arena throwing their drinks, complete lack of any security. Wow.

 

If someone finds a link to a video, please post it.

Turn on ESPN in about 2 minutes to watch them cover the whole situation.

 

 

 

ESPN article:

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Indiana's Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson charged into the stands and fought with fans in the final minute of their game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday night, forcing an early and ugly end to the Pacers' 97-82 win.

 

The game was stopped with 45.9 seconds remaining when a pushing and shoving between the teams spilled into the stands after fans began throwing things at the players near the scorer's table.

 

"It's the ugliest thing I've seen as a coach or player," Pistons coach Larry Brown said.

 

After several minutes of players fighting with fans in the stands, the Pacers were pelted with beer, ice, and popcorn as they made their way to the locker room in one of the scariest brawls in an NBA game.

 

The Palace announcer said the game was being stopped and pleaded with fans not to throw things.

 

It all started when Detroit's Ben Wallace went in for a layup and was fouled hard by Artest.

 

Wallace wheeled around and pushed Artest in the face. The benches emptied and punches were thrown.

 

As the players continued shoving each other near center court and coaches tried to restore order, Artest lay on his back on the scorer's table.

 

Just when it appeared tempers had died down, Artest was struck by a cup thrown from the stands. He jumped up, and charged into the stands, throwing punches as he climbed over seats.

 

Fans were punching back, and Jackson and another teammate joined Artest in the melee. A Pistons player came running into the crowd.

 

Detroit's Rasheed Wallace and Indiana's David Harrison were also in or near the stands.

 

As the crowd roared, drinks and debris showered the court and the Pacers players covered their heads as they hustled through the runway leading to the locker room.

That's Ron Artest in the uniform and Rick Mahorn (former Piston player, now radio commentator) on the right. The fan on the far left in the khaki hat is the one who threw the blue cup onto Artest while he was chilling on the scorer's bench. When Artest went out into the crowd, he went after the wrong white dude (he went after a skinny dude with glasses - not me, though). The fan with the khaki hat - the instigator - tried to hold Artest back, then eventually got in a scuffle with him. It all went downhill after that.

that was some nuts shit. there are going to be many fines, suspensions and arrest going on. jermaine o'neal tattooed somebodies face pretty fucking good. artest was pretty laid back actually (well for his crazy ass at least)...he went after homeboy but never threw any blows at first and then tried to get out of the ruckus. it will be crazy to see the next game between these teams.

there was even more fighting than the clip showed. a couple fans got clocked pretty good on the court, but those fuckers deserve it for throwing shit. the shitty thing is, artest and all the other players who went into the stands are gonna get fined and suspended soooo bad for this shit, but it was the fans messing with the players, not the other way around. hopefully that pussy who socked artest from behind will get arrested.

I don't think Artest should have gone into the stands in the first place. Take the cup-tossing and move on. Don't pull a fucking Vernon Maxwell and go fight some skinny white dude in the stands.

 

BUT. After that happened, Indiana players can do whatever they need to in order to protect themselves. Once they're put in that situation, regardless of who's at fault, they can punch and kick and bite their way to the team bus and out of town.
