Naw, just rewatched another angle where they did a replay of it--it was the guy in the hat.

I'll see if they show another angle .. but from what I can tell so far .. it's not clear as to who threw the cup and Artest has his head turned away when the cup hit him

No, I'm talking another angle altogether from farther back. It is CLEARLY the guy in the hat. It looks like a local newscast from Detroit or Indiana.

Absolutely correct. Artest had no idea who tossed the cup at him. He simply charged the stands and looked for the first guilty looking person he could find and then started wailing on him.

Getting back to that guy in the hat who had his hands in his pockets as Artest charged by him.

Funny how he tried to make himself out to be nothing more than a casual, if not a somewhat of a disinterested observer, that is until Artest was well past, with Artest's back to him, and Artest preoccupied before he decided to take his hands out of his pockets and suddenly become "interested" by grabbing Artest from behind and then punching him in the back of the head.
