I had just got my first TIVO box for Xmas the year before. I ran outta space overnight because I recorded EVERYTHING. The game, all blocks of sports center right after, ESPN news after that

Outside of the Janet super bowl, I don’t think I’ve replayed anything as often.

Already had my boy over there because that was a big game, conference finals rematch. We over there pausing, rewinding, slow-mo like we breaking down a boxing match the look on dudes face when Artest ran up

I was in 9th grade I believe and we had a school trip to Six Flags. I remember getting a call on my chirp phone saying Artest got in a fight with a fan. I got home and waited for that 1am replay and watched the entire thing. Mesmerizing stuff

 

[freeze]

Melo better put up at least 15 and 8 with all that complaining he was doing about getting another chance.

Minimum.

My uncle was Artest‘s neighbor in Queensbridge, the woman he married (my aunt) lived in Detroit at the time. I was at the game , thought it would be a family festive reunion. We were fairly close to the action. Got chicken strips and ketchup all over my Ecko shirt. Beer was flying everywhere, messed up my Girbaud jeans that I tucked into the shoelaces of crisp all white uptowns. Honestly felt like a all white college frat party gone wrong. With history of hypertension I almost threw down with my uncle in the stands. He was about that action and didn’t want to leave. Never gonna forget that day.

Honestly thought this was an HIM post and had to do a double take

 

[everysingletime]

I don't think a brawl would ever happen in today's nba. Half the players would probably flop if a fan tries to fight em.

I watched it live on ESPN.

Pretty sure the dude in the blue shirt and white hat who set it off by throwing the cup still talks about it nonchalantly. Deserved to get his a** beat worse than he did. Ashame Artest went after the wrong fan at first.

30 for 30 should have been done on this too.

 

[rolaholic]

Jermaine O'neal was a wet spot away from murdering a dude on live television.

That sliding falcon punch will always be an all timer

Dude would've probably been in a coma had he not slipped

True. But ESPN and Disney want to forget this ever happened

My pops was at that game smh. My teenage I’m too cool to hang with my pops *** should’ve went smh

Luka will get a shoe. Young all-star with a game people want to watch/emulate. Handsome (cc aepps20 ) Very marketable.

Plus, Nike (or whoever) doesn’t have to roll them out in huge quantities from the jump. Can do limited on-line releases or just sell them in Dallas/the Southwest to start. Build up demand...

 

[ballinsam23]

I think Adidas or Puma might be more of the wave than Nike in Europe. I could see Adidas throwing the bag.

 

[MVP]

Is Luka's style of play exciting and box office like a Kyrie or Steph? To appeal to the youth and masses.

Not the 00 Melo ...damn it really is over for my dawg

Pretty boring to watch, tbh.

 

[vood99]

Luka still not signed? I hope he goes with UA or a smaller brand to make him a priority.

Genuinely surprised Adidas or Puma didn't sign him after last season.

 

[bballkid11]

Adidas got too many sigs out right now.

Puma or UA gonna give him the bag.
