10 Year Anniversary of the ‘Malice In The Palace’

November 19, 2014

I’ll never forget playing pool in the basement of a University of Alabama frat house, watching the footage unfold on television.

The mob began with just a small foul on Ben Wallace via Ron Artest — two known hot heads. What transpired after was by far the lowest point in NBA history, changing the league forever.

Dubbed the ‘Malice In The Palace,’ the infamous fight that broke out between players and fans at the Pacers vs. Pistons game happened ten years ago Wednesday.

And here is commentary from ESPN later that night, still in disbelief as to what happened.
