I hadnt seen this footage before, but it brought back the mems. Straight from the local broadcast so showing more than what I'd ever seen previously. crazy af, still.
Laimbeer called it, a full season suspension for Artest. Some shots I hadn't seen, nice find. Why the hell do people insist on putting shitty music on these videos?
If I'm not mistaken, we were playing the Celtic's at home and were hearing about this from the league. Pre twitter, it was crazy.
Tinsley wins it for me. As a Pacer fan at the time, my heart sank with the knowledge that our title hopes vanished that night. Want to guess who was the refs that night?
I have no problem with any of those idiots getting clocked who went on the court. You cross a line you shouldn’t and make sudden moves like the tubby guy did Artest, then you deserve to hit the ground. You have no idea what kinda psycho is there, so defending yourself is fair game.
My wife had just left me and I was sitting alone in an empty house the day this happened..... What an awesome day!
That shit cracked me up then and it still does. Epic meltdowns with some of the players. It's almost like it was scripted for a WWE event!
