Pacers–Pistons brawl

The Pacers–Pistons brawl (colloquially known as the Malice at the Palace) was an altercation that occurred in a National Basketball Association (NBA) game between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons on November 19, 2004, at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The Associated Press (AP) called it "the most infamous brawl in NBA history".

With less than a minute left in the game, a fight broke out on the court between several players. After the fight was broken up, a fan threw a drink from the stands at Pacers player Ron Artest while he was lying on the scorer's table. Artest then entered the crowd and sparked a massive brawl between players and fans that stretched onto the court.

After the game, the NBA suspended nine players for a total of 146 games, which led to $11 million in salary being lost by the players. Five players were also charged with assault, and eventually sentenced to a year of probation and community service. Five fans also faced criminal charges and were banned from attending Pistons home games for life. The fight also led the NBA to increase security between players and fans, and to limit the sale of alcohol in games.

Famous quotes by Ron Artest:

"It's the first time in a long time that I've been complimented on my leadership skills. Partly it was my fault that I hadn't been complimented in the past. Maybe some people just weren't recognizing."

"I made myself into a franchise player there, but I kind of sneaked up on them."

"That's gonna be fun, ... I love the tension. I love when everything's going wrong ... In the NBA, they don't promote guys like me. They like guys who like Cheerios, good guys. But I find a way to promote myself."

"I mean, last season, I was 24 going on 25. Now, I am 25 going on 26. You grow up, you make mistakes and you learn from that. I am trying not to make the same mistakes."

"We've been playing really hard at home and guys have been stepping up. Kevin stepped up again. We just need to bring this intensity with us on the road. I think we'll be fine on this trip as long as we play hard."

"When we are clicking on the offensive end, making shots, you get your teammates involved. That's what I was trying to do tonight."

"We stayed mentally tough the whole game. That was the best feeling."

"I tried to do what I do. I tried to go out there and play defense. Fortunately, tonight it worked."

"Our defensive intensity wasn't there. We slacked a little bit."

"It feels like high school again. I had a really good team, and I was a much better leader. When I got in college and the NBA, I became selfish. Now, I'm back to my high school days."

[verse 1]
moment of silence for the champions
for those who make going hard a lifestyle
never wait for nothing
got to get it right now
i'm in the spotlight
when they turn the lights down
only the champs go the hardest in the 12th round
i love the fourth quarter
i love the ninth inning
i love game 7
bring on the competition
cuz in my heart can't nobody do it better
can't slow me down won't stop me never
i'm so cashis clay
i'm tyson in his prime
your own league wit em
i'm barry bonds with mine
i beat the buzzer baby
my stroke is hole in one
you see the checkered flag?
finish line here i come
i aint gotta brag
i let the trophys do it
around here we the best
so come and hold me too it
i specialize in everything that can't be done
aint no more talking bout it
moment of silence for the champions
[Chorus (Ron Artest)]
they say we warriors
they say we did it again (hands high for the champions)
we are victorious
we only in it to win (stand up for the champions)
no surrender no retreat
we take the battlefield over every time (and clap yo hands for the champions)
we came we saw we conquered everything in sight (moment of silence for the champions)
ayyy oh ay oh ay oh
thats the sound you hear from the crowd when we come through (they screaming)
ayyy oh ay oh ay oh
we run the town here can't you tell when we come through (they screaming)
champions!(cuz we are)
champions!(they screaming)
champions!(cuz we are)
champions!
can't nobody handle us
there aint no competitors
no wonder why we are (we are the champions)
[Verse 2]
You read the newspapers
you saw the magazines
you got the internet but you aint gotta google me
my name is up in lights
my face is well known
you see us superbowl dancing in the endzone
you see us taking shots of vodka out of stanley's cup
you see us running out the tunnel looking fired up
and in my heard can't nobody do it better
can't slow me down won't stop me never
i'm dale earnhardt
i'm so michael phelps
so many gold medals
too many title belts
i started all-state
and came up from that
now imma world champ
and reppin everywhere
call me incredible
work ethic impeccable
i did it for the decimals and now i can't let it go
i specialize in anything that can't be done
no more talking bout it
moment of silence for the champions
[Chorus (Ron Artest)]
they say we warriors
they say we did it again (hands high for the champions)
we are victorious
we only in it to win (stand up for the champions)
no surrender no retreat
we take the battlefield over every time (and clap yo hands for the champions)
we came we saw we conquered everything in sight (moment of silence for the champions)
ayyy oh ay oh ay oh
thats the sound you hear from the crowd when we come through (they screaming)
ayyy oh ay oh ay oh
we run the town here can't you tell when we come through (they screaming)
champions!(cuz we are)
champions!(they screaming)
champions!(cuz we are)
champions!
can't nobody handle us(no)
there aint no competitors(no)
