Hillbilly Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 And in this corner.... Ron Artest.... and this corner everyone and their grandma's. That was embarresing to be a Pacer fan and a NBA onlooker. That was very sad.... I will say this tho, if I was in the NBA and someone threw something like that at me, I'd have to be controled by some linebackers. Yes, Ball players should not go into the stands, but the fans should also stay out of the fight. It pretty dumb of some of the fans that came after Artest and looked like they were gettin ready to fight him.... and then Artest threw some lefts and rights. It was so dumb!!!

too_pointer Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: NBA Royal Rumble!! Ron Artest Vs The Fans I'm a hardcore Piston fan, and yes, I was watching the game when it happened. I will make no exscuses for the jerk who threw the beer on Artest. I would of been jumping mad also. Ron is also making millions of $$$ a year to be a pro. Too bad his track record is so bad, I'm sure he will be hit heavy. I think the whole thing is a big mess, (shame on Ben !!) Could be his family problems was too much, and he came back to play too early from it. A few stupid people caused all this mess, and I really hope they get hanged for it !! too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: NBA Royal Rumble!! Ron Artest Vs The Fans I had this happen to me on a baseball field and a basketball court. A team threw bottles at us after we won a game at our home court. I got hit by two bottles filled with coke. One cut my head and the other came close to hitting my goggles. (basketball glasses). The baseball one was the same team. Our catcher threw out this runner at third. I was playing third scooped up the ball and got him out. Very close play but he was out. Well his dad came out and got in the umpire's face. They threw a bottle at the umpire and it hit me in the face. 2nd time, same school. I walked toward the individual and to the fence and that's when the bench cleared on our opponets side.... big fight broke out. I was suspended for 3 games for walking toward the crowd lol...... On this issue, I think Artest had a right. Yeah he should have thicker skin, but he or any other player for that matter should have something thrown at him. I would have gone after him too. I don't think he did attack the right guy, but if you do look at the on-going replays, it clearly shows this guy naggin him on to bring it. When it was brought he tried to get out of there. Even a couple more fans tried to fight Artest on the floor. Self defense on that one. I dont like Artest very much. He's a great defender, but he's almost close to Dennis Rodman Attention Getter. But I don't blame him for going into the stands at all. He's humans, he has feelings. He's not a robot. Go PACERS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
