it was the way he threw it. Just watch it over a couple of times. The fan definitly deserved to recieve some sort of punishment for egging on Artest.

I just don't think a full blown fist to the face was the answer.

And yah, i heard that the huge fat guy who beat the crap out of Jones was actually Ben Wallace's brother...

Maybe Jones should take a beating more often, he had 31pts and 12 boards the next night.

i wouldnt buy too much into that...i'm pretty sure if it was his brother they would have said it on the news here....they already tracked down the ass that threw the ball and found out he has been in prison for several years for different crimes...one of them was assault the other one was carrying a weapon there were some more i cant rememeber....the deusch is actually denying throwing the beer and is saying artest assuallted him....he's on tape throwing beer and no shit artest assualted him he sucker punched like 3 times in the back of the head....he actually had the balls to say "the tape doesnt lie"

I think the reason it hasn't been mentioned much (if it is his brother), is because it really has nothing to do with Ben. His brother isn't famous and that was a smaller part of the fight, so its not worth talking about.

Yes (sort of). He attempted one and made it but even the announcers laughed about how it was more of a 270.
Yes
Yes
There has been a really really long one but not sure about how close to 70 but yes is my answer
I'm guessing no because that would be a highlight (unless it wasn't pretty)
No, cousin
At the 2002 games (or was he 7'1" and this is a trick question?)
No
Yes
No
Yes
Yes

yea but its still his brother..you would have think they would have at least acknowledged it

Just seems odd that the article would lie about something like that. Although, it is CBS.

Ok lets see how much this dude in New Zealand knows (or doesnt know):
1.Not to my knowledge
2.Oh yes i remember that (shame on you AI) 😄
3.Yep, its the symbol on his shoes isnt it?
4.Dont know, probably Payton to Kemp
5.Only on NBA Street Vol 2
6.Cousin
7.Most likely
8.Vince was the first i think
9.Cedric Caballos 92 all star weekend (my favourite all star game ever).
10.That was Wilt
11.Was that the one where Cousy was dribbling the ball around to run the clock out?
12.Yes.
How did i do?

you can never tell....that why i hate watching the news

How does everybody think Indiana will do the rest of the year now?
Miss playoffs due to lack of players for quite a while? Make the playoffs but still never recover enough to do much? Make the finals?

i think they'll find a way to make it to the playoffs at the end of the season, but barely.

I'm interested in seeing if the Pacers try to pick anyone up during their star's absence.

I heard a rumor about possibly signing Karl Malone to a deal, but it seems pretty cemented that he'll return as a Laker. clap

Man i hope so, even at 41 he would still be our best power forward.

Here are the answers.

1. Has Shaq ever done a 360 dunk? Yes.. against the Raptors
2. Has Iverson ever crossed up Michael Jordan? Yes.. in his Rookie Year
3. Has MJ ever dunked from the foul line? Yes
4. Had there ever been a 70ft alley-oop? Yes, Jason Williams.. i have the video.. that was crazy.
5. Was there ever a two way alley-oop? Yes This was the most amazing play i have ever seen.. i forget who the people were but but it was the Clippers. One guy throught it acroos the whole court, and another guy jumped and caught at about the foul line in mid air, and while still in mid-air he flipped it uo and someone dunked it in. It was crazy... i wish u could see it.
6. Is Tracy Mcgrady Vince Carter's brother? No, Cousin.
7. Has Vince Carter ever jumped OVER a 7'2 center while dunking? Yes in the olympics.
8. Was Michael Jordan the first person to do the Elbow-Dunk? No, i don't think he ever did it?
9. Has anyone dunked with a blindfold on? Yes
10. Did Magic Johnson score 100 points in 1 game? Nope.. Wilt did for the Sixers.
11. Was there ever a game that didn't finish because the fans ran onto the court in excitment? Yes, it wasn't and aired game either. It was the game that Wilt scored 100 points. The second he scored 100 points the fans stormed onto the court and the game didn't finish.
12. Does Ron Artest hold the record for longest suspension? Yes, obviously.

All I know is that Indiana is really kicking themselves now for letting Al Harrington go. He'd be their go to guy right now and I think they'd still make the playoffs with him, but without him I think their just a .500 team.

Will the Pacers be signing free agents to fill the void?
