Malice at the Palace | UNTOLD Vol. 1 | Netflix
- Thread starter D'Evils
- Start date
These punk ass white boy fans are pissed because most black professionals in sports make more in a year than they make in a lifetime.
And because of their jealousy they feel they're entitled to say anything, do anything to a player and the player is just suppose to take it. And someone should tell Matt Barnes, whose only talent on the court was taking cheap shots and starting shit, not to say Artest got a black mark on his resume as if to imply, as all white people and coons do, that black anything is negative.
I just wish Artest had put that punk ass white boy fan who thought he could do anything to black players in a fuckin' coma.

I will check for it
I remember this game vividly like it was yesterday. I was at Ozio’s in The District watching this game enjoying a cigar. I remember saying to myself that the game had a lot of tension going on and I somehow knew that a fight was getting ready to pop-off. Welp, a few moments later it was on and everybody was going wild at the bar. That shit was crazy.
DEEEETROIT BASKETBAAAAALL!!

Malice at the Palace: how a new doc reexamines the epochal NBA brawl
A new docuseries offers a fresh perspective on the infamous 2004 melee that changed the shape of basketball as we know it
or my money, the indelible image from the Malice in the Palace – the notorious 2004 on-court riot that pitted NBA players against spectators and changed the shape of basketball as we know it – wasn’t Ron Artest pouncing on that wide-eyed fan in the stands. Or Artest and his fellow Indiana Pacers making their off-court escape as the unruly crowd hailed down their half-consumed concessions from on high.
Or even the hard foul Artest committed on the Detroit Pistons’ Ben Wallace at the end of this nationally televised Pacers blowout that kicked off the ugly affair.
No, my indelible image was Artest lying on the scorer’s table like a blasé sunbather just before a cup of beer lands on him, the Palace at Auburn Hills descends into madness and the NBA is decried as a league of thugs. But as it turns out Artest wasn’t trying to escalate the situation; he was searching for peace. How I couldn’t see that back then has a lot to do with why the Malice in the Palace came to be interpreted as the ignominious moment when the players snapped and assaulted the fans, and not the opposite.
The fresh perspective comes courtesy of a five-part Netflix docuseries that drops on Tuesday called Untold, which revisits some of the more complex sports sagas of yesteryear. The evening of 19 November 2004, a date that lives in sports infamy, was overdue for reexamination – and I say that as someone who should’ve been more skeptical. I covered that 2003-04 Pacers team as a junior “newsman” at the Associated Press and had moved on to Sports Illustrated’s engine room when the magazine put Malice at the Palace on cover, with that still of Artest about to choke out that wide-eyed spectator laid under the headline “SPORTSRAGE”.
That effectively set the tone for the conversation around the riot, which had grizzled hoops observers harkening to those days in the early 1900s when the game was played inside cages and players and spectators scrapped on the regular.

Yeah I watched that this morning and the only people I feel sorry for are Jermaine O'Neal and Reggie Punk Ass Miller. (sorry I am from Chicago) Ron Artest called himself a coward for demanding a trade and that Pacers team if they stayed together might have gotten 1 ring or at least back to the finals. This shines a brighter light on mental awareness because Ron Ron has some issues and Stephen Jackson just wants to be hood.
Im going to check it out after work...
Gotta check this out
Creature feature face Reggie Miller portrays himself as a light skinned "brother" who will do all he can not to be thought of by white people as one of those darker hued brothers who don't take shit from whitey if they're wronged. On a 1 to 10 coon meter bougie Reggie is a strong 8 imo. 
.
.
So,the dude who got punched by Jermaine O' Neal said it was a bitch move by him yet he was the one on the court....He lucky Jermaine slipped on that punched because his goofy ass would have been in the hospital..
Of course,a police officer making shit worse by trying to mase Artest and Reggie. How the fuck you not know who Reggie Miller is?Then lied in the documentary saying he wasn't trying to mase Artest even though the video said you were...

Fans throw shit during ice hockey games in all the time. It’s so sad how this is viewed as some dark moment in NBA history.
I think there was a racist undertones and I think so long as black people don't own these teams they will always be sweating

yep. and the refs stand there and watch shit go down. literally stand there and do nothing and try to come in at the end.
I believe it was a friday night, i was at the crib chilling watching espn...
The same for me.
Maaaaaan that night was crazy. Was working my shift at UPS. I think break was just about to end and the shit went down on live TV. We all watched that shit from the supervisors on down. It was quiet than a motherfucker in the room. I remember sports center bringing on someone after the game and talking about it. First thing I did when I got home is check BGOL and sure enough we had a thread going. .
.
The board was lit that night!!
Can we bring the thread?
......
David Stern was always arrogant as fuck.
I never really liked him.
But the league has gotten worse every year since he stepped down.
