I half-expected Jim Lampley, Steve Merchant & George Foreman to offer commentary on the fight. I think Ron Artest has a good furture as a welterweight.
My feelings on the matter:
- I don't think Ron Artest going into the stands would have bothered me as much if he has grabbed and pummeled the right guy. The second he grabbed the guy NEXT to the guy that threw the beer. He lost me.
- What the fuck was Stephen Jackson doing? He looked like he was just dying to fight.
- How did Jermaine O'Neal get less games than Jackson when he cold-clocked that guy on the court who had already been hit twice by Artest and was being held back by someone else...nice punch tho.
- I don't appreciate how David Stern is not commenting on the actions of the Detroit fans who were in the wrong. If these jokers aren't punish, what kind of message does that send? You can throw things at the monkeys but don't worry, they can't touch you. This ain't the zoo!
* I am taking total credit to making that up. If you see anyone but me with a shirt that says that, tell me so I can sue.
