No wonder the NBA is so hard on emotion and stuff at games, they want to avoid any PR incident like this one.

I'm not saying Artest was in the right, but if someone threw a bottle at me I'd be pretty pissed too.

The worst showing was from the rest of the Detroit crowd, throwing EVERYTHING onto the court. I don't think our fans here would do that.

And now people bitch about the NBA being too soft and not as good as the golden eras of the 80s and 90s. Well, this is why. Used to be guys would get in a fight, get suspended a game, maybe 2 games tops and it'd be over and done with. Now, a guy gets in a fight, its shown 40 million times on ESPN News and sportscenter for a week. It gets microanalyzed by the analysts and the fans today have more access to voice their opinions on these things than ever before. Different times, different era. But this incident should serve as a reference point as to when Stern really started clamping down on the physicality of the game.

I also agree with others man, we gotta take into account where this happened. The players were clearly outta line and went too far, but c'mon man, those fans were classless and out of their fuging minds that night. This was just one of those "Pulp Fiction" too real for TV moments that happens once every generation.

Stern is a terrible owner and went about this situation entirely wrong and only cared to please Pistons fans. Most sports fans saw this as being obviously incited by the Pistons fans. Stern wanted to put all the blame on the players.

This would not have happened in any other arena aside from in New York or Philadelphia imo.

Also they should stop serving alcohol at basketball games. If anything that had as much to do with it as Pistons fans.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.

      Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now.
