- its simple, Artest wasnt scared of Big Ben. to him it was all a big show, Artest had been in altercation after altercation so he just chilled. the fan? the fan was out of bounds because it didnt have anything to do with him, so he had it coming.Originally Posted by seasoned vet

all im sayin if your a tough guy be a tough guy. dont be scared of ben wallace but then jump in the stands. not to mention ben isnt that much bigger than dude anyway but w/e.![]()
dudes shouldnt be scared of other dudes in the 1st place but thats besides the point
- its always been my belief that the NBA should have went just as hard on Ben Wallace for being the main instigator, they only gave him a few games or so.
dude didnt go out of his way to hit fred the construction worker or any other fans(or anybody period if i remember correctly) wth is wrong withyou![]()

- it simple. had Ben not repeatedly thrown his arms up to the crowd amping them up, no cup would have ever been thrown = no brawl.
now im not the sharpest knife in the drawer but correct if im wrong. but youre tellin me if you shoot me in the face(no moho) because dirty hyped you up to do so then he should get the same close if not the same time as you do. is that what youre sayin in so many words??
- ill answer your question, but first: would you agree that there exists such a charge as inciting a riot? if so, then would you agree that Ben was guilty ofthis?
- onto the question, in a word YES. its not that i agree with it personally but thats been the NBA's policy. my argument is with the consistency. whenCarmelo got in his trouble it was because his involvement took the fight to a whole new level. same with Diaw and Amare, the potential of their involvement gotthem suspended. the NBA is just as hard on the instigators as they are the ones that actually do the deed.
- however, your analogy is flawed. we're not talking about someone minding their business and someone does harm to them because someone amped them up to doit. we're talking about a fight between 2 people. one person doesnt feel as if he got all his frustrations out on the individual, so he begins to involvethe crowd. and if the individual that tries to involve the crowd is successful he is just as much to blame as the anyone.
- i remember those days. Artest was messing with everyone he could just like Rodman. i understand completly Ben reacting the way he did initialy. everyone atthat time was tired of Ron and his antics. if you (Ben) want to fight him, cool. why involve the crowd? thats between you two.
- when i seen the fight years ago there was a video of a different angle where you could see the stuff Ben was doing and how he kept amping the crowd up. iposted a link to a video below and at the 1:18 mark you can hear the crowds reaction to his antics. also, pay attention to what the commentators were sayingabout Ben and how he should be removed........why? because he can incite a riot which he did.
- matter of fact, any of the ESPN videos keep cutting to the replay, but the local Detroit video (if you can find them) only show whats going on.

how can you compare what melo did to what happened between ron and ben. those are three totally different situations. melo rocked dude(he gotgames for that) the other two left the bench(they got games for that) ben "started a war" or riot or w/e(he got games for that) this dude ronJUMPED IN THE STANDS. nothin compares to that. he deserved all time he got. i get what your sayin about ben startin errything but theres noway ron and ben should get the same time

- c'mon man. stay on topic. i never said anything about the dude that actually threw the cup. i was talking about Ron's sentence v. what Ben got. howthe ++$@ you gon suspend the dude that threw the cup??
- im comapring those 3 incidents because of the NBA's stance on someone making a situation worse. understand that was the NBA's whole basis forsuspending Melo, Amare, and Diaw. look it up. Ben Wallace did the same thing they did.
- read my dude.....READ. sure Melo got in trouble for the fight, it was him taking the fight to another level that got him the extra time he got. same withDiaw and Amare. Nash and Horry were under control, if Amare and Diaw had got loose who knows what would have happened? thats what the NBA stood on.
- again......*ahem*, AGAIN, this is not my views, but how the NBA sees it. my argument is consistency. IM NOT COMPARING INFRACTIONS. imnot saying what someone did was worse or better, but rather that same when it came to escalating an incident.
*Edit*
- oh and i see you agree Ben was inciting a riot. so you mean to tell me you've never heard of someone getting in just as much trouble for inciting a riotas the people that actually did most of the damage?? riiiiiight.![]()
- thing is, you feel Ben was justified in doing what he did to Ron. and im not arguing that. but dont let that get in the way of calling a spade a spade. mosttimes people incite the type of riot...or brawl Ben did they dont get off light.....he did.
now im not the sharpest knife in the drawer but correct if im wrong. but youre tellin me if you shoot me in the face(no moho) because dirty hyped you up to do so then he should get the same close if not the same time as you do. is that what youre sayin in so many words??Originally Posted by seasoned vet

yea man i know what the hell you were talkin about i wasreferrin to somethin you said earlier but it dont matter, i dont feel like lookin for it. i kno the nba can cant suspend somebodys who's not in thenba
. i was tryin to say when the police or security orwhoever got a hold to him he wouldnt be punished in anyway because he can say it was all bens fault since he started errythin and that the dude would get offscott free(i mean based on your logic)![]()
i feel like im repeatin myself in here though. youre sayin ben should get the same time or close to what ron got. im sayin i dont believe so because what rondid was worse imo. i get what your sayin about melo, diaw, and amare and the rule of instigating and leavin the bench and all that other stuff in the league. ifeel you but imo those situations dont compare to what happened in detroit. thats all i was tryin to say
