Later on, though, as Artest was being drug out, that guy tried (and mostly failed) to sucker-punch him.

He sucker punched Artest after Artest started beating the crap out of that younger guy

If I was there .. I would have hit Artest also in an attempt to help the younger guy ... and yes, I'm from Philly .. *L*

Like I said .. whoever throw the cup was wrong .. But Artest should have stayed out of the stands

Nah.. Artest was headed out by this point. Could be we are talking about different people though. There is an abosolutely hilarous quote from the the Detroit News:

That set Artest off. He raced into the stands and started swinging. The first person he hit was Mike Ryan of Clarkston.

"I have no idea," Ryan said of why Artest picked him. "He was on top of me, pummeling me and he said, "Did you do it? Did you do it?' And I said, 'No, man, no.' He kind of shoved me and went off on other people."


So he was beating on the guy AND asking him whether he threw the beer. Maybe we should send him to Iraq as an interrogater while he serves his suspension.
