Apart from the mayhem and chaos :thumbsdow , one thing is worth noting. That fat guy in the Pistons jersey can <font color="Red">TAKE A PUNCH</font>!!! :thumbsup: He got hit square in the face by 6'8" Ron Artest and then got clocked by 6'11" Jermaine Oneil and GOT BACK UP FOR MORE. I hear Don King is working on the REMATCH !!!! Word is he might fight Holyfield Next !!!! By the Way: <font color="SeaGreen">Who Do You Think Will get the Most $$$$ from thier Lawsuit ???</font> I believe the first guy Artest went after. Especially if he wasnt the one who threw the beer. Hell, I'll probably take a punch for all the money he's gonna get!!!
No one was seriously injured. "Fights" like that breakout in school yards in middle school all the time. Any lawsuits, given the circumstances, should be considered frivolous in my opinion.
You got it all wrong. The guy w/ the black cap got punched by Artest but his buddy was the one who got clocked by JO and he sure as hell didn't get back up for more.... he was knocked out cold. But although I think the guy in the black cap is an idiot for confronting Artest on the court in the first place, I will give credit for being able to take a punch that lands square on his eye from Artest and not seem fazed by it. As for the lawsuit I think it'll go to the guy who SJ punched. Sure, the guy was hit by Jackson because he threw his drink at Artest, but he was only trying to prevent his friend from being pounded. I think he'll get more money than his friend who was confronted by Artest b/c he didn't attract trouble the way his friend did and there's also clear video-evidence of him being clocked in the face.
The first guy (the one in black shirt) that Artest went after wasn't really being assaulted than being pushed to the chair by Artest, who didn't throw any punch yet... and the guy who really started the whole thing by throwing the cup to Artest (the one in white cap) did punch Artest in his temple... TWICE... without Artest having any chance to retaliate because others were getting in between them. I would say the guy, who managed to splash some water at Artest while he was pounding on the guy in black shirt, will get SOME BIG dollars from Stephen Jackson, who gave him a nasty punch on the back of his head. But probably the guy in the Piston jersey (capless) is going to get the MOST DOLLARS since he took the worst punch of the night from Jermaine O'Neal, who also happens to be the richest Pacer... his friend (with cap) took two shots from Artest, but the first one was deflected and the second one didn't hit.

Anyone who boxes will know this, as i do, you cannot effectivley hit someone with force from the position Maniac-test was standing. Go try it now, see how much power you can exert. As opposed to the traditonal boxing stance.
When Jackson got in the stand he started going crazy with the punches. Artest will get the most even though he tried to stay away from the whole thing. I think Wallace should have benn suspended more games

I think he should also lift the suspension on Reggie Miller.
Yeah that guy with piston jersey didn't get hit that hard cuz the floor was slippery, he and artest both fell right after throwing punches. But his friend got hit hard by JO like a loser
I don't think all of those dumb-(excuse me)s care. They are going to sue because Ron Artest makes more in one game of basketball than they do in a year. So, why not sue for a little money?
