it's not clear as to who threw the cup and Artest has his head turned away when the cup hit him.

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.

Mike Ryan of Clarkston said Artest attacked him. "He asked, `Did you do it? Did you do it?' I said no and he started pummeling me."

from the above article. He is going to get at least 5% of Artest Rap royalties.

I agree that he had that look like .. "ummm I didn't do anything wrong" .. my kids tend to try and pull that on me

With that said .. as for the sucker punch on Artest .. It was after he was trying to pull Artest off the younger guy

I would have hit Artest also in an attempt to get him off the dude

Dude in white cap was called by espn as the beer thrower. Artest as usual thunk wrong and acted worse. He'll pay big
