And, RP, now that you've acknowledged that Artest is mentally unbalanced, will you know acknowledge that the brawl in Detroit is not entirely the fault of a fan throwing a beer and that someone with all of their marbles would have let security do their job instead of going all GTA and giving the league a black eye?

Loopy . The thing that i argued is this. There was so much emotion going on in that 5 minute period where it all went down. We knew there was a chance Artest didnt have all his marbles before that incident. He physically and mentally restrained himself from engaging Ben Wallace. Ben Wallace continued to push the issue even though people where trying to break the two up and Artest was a non issue. Once that beer got thrown, it was like a balloon of emothing got popped and he went nuts. No doubt.
I really wish you would acknowledge the fact that Wallace should have been suspended for instagating the whole issue. There can also be a " Monkey see Monkey do " case made when Wallace threw that towel. The fan thought it was ok for him to throw the beer. But i doubt you will acknowlege any of that. Wallace should have gotten 15-20 games. He fueled that whole thing and then Artest snapped.
That said. Yes someone who does have it all together in the head would have let security do there job. Ofcourse, you would have to look long and hard to find a security guard that night. Never the less. Ron Artest is very strange in the head and i'm to the point where i'll be glad when he's not our problem.
Artest for Prince... Detroit would be nuts to do that. Prince is an amazing player and he's not the problem that Artest is. Plus theres no way Artest goes to play for Detroit, but it would be hilarious.
