That was crazy.  For those who were watching the game live, that was one of those "remember when" moments.  I know I was at our fraternity party it was still in the beginning of the party mode.  I had just helped bring in the keg and was drinking my first couple of beers.  There were a few people already in the house and we were def getting ready to party.  A couple of my brothers and I had gone to one of the bedrooms and begin a bonding experience and talk about our fantasy team (this was Year 2 of our intense STG Fantasy Basketball League) when we turned on the TV.  That was right about the time the foul that led to the fight began.  We were watching in amazement and quickly got other brothers that were in the league watching.  We stood there for another 15-20 minutes watching the whole thing and making fun of the brother who had Artest on his team.  Afterwards, we moved to the party and partied the night away.
Baby Jesus!

There is one thing where Jermaine O'Neal catches a dude with a straight right cross that is just brutal. I cannot find that anywhere. it's not the one where he falls down, its another one where JO hits the guy and he's lights out right on his feet.

That was a pretty good team.  Stephen Jackson, Ron Artest, and Jermaine O'neal at arguably their best prime.  JO'neal had plenty of potential at that time but he never lived up to them, and Artest and Jackson have only refined their skills since, but that was a lot of raw talent.

They were the trendy pick for the title. remember that was Reggie Miller's last really good year too.

This is great- the reason the NBA is considered a 'thug' league today...oh well.
