VonErich how can you say he wasnt threatend when the Palace of Auburn hills didnt even have enough security to break up a cripple fight let alone 10 , 6 foot men. With irate Pistons fans storming the floor looking for either a honest fight or a dishonest lawsuit. O'neal didnt know if there was gunna be a Piston fann with a weapon or not. He didnt know anything. All he knew was that there was no one and i mean " NO ONE " standing inbetween him and the Piston fans storming the floor.
In all honesty, all biast aside. The Piston organization needs to be held accountable for that bull shit.
Look i'll give you the argument against Jackson and Artest. I've simmered down about there suspensions and understand. But i will never give you the O'neal argument. It was a hectic situation and fans were coming on the court for fights. He defended his teamates and hiself. No matter how much of a sucker punch it looked like. Imagine if that guy had a weapon and O'neal didnt punch him. I cant even imagine what would happen. I dont want to. I'm glad O'neal punched him.
