A Decade Later: The Malice at the Palace

[Simon]

10 years ago today, was one of the biggest fights in NBA history, and many careers changed because of it.

Anyone remember it?

Kinda hard to forget Ron Artest going into the stands to punch a fan.

The sliding punch from I think Jermaine O'Neal was pretty classic too.

I was in Columbus that weekend for the Ohio State-Michigan game. That Saturday morning- the morning after the fight- we were in a restaurant outside C-Bus eating breakfast and they were showing the fight on TV. It looked as if every person in the restaurant was just staring at the TV, transfixed- like, forks stopped halfway to mouths. You couldn't keep your eyes off the screen.

 

[Ohio]

I remember seeing the highlights shortly after and just thinking "holy shit, only in Detroit" ..lol

I love the Mike Brown cameo in there.
