MALICE AT THE PALACE (20th Anniversary Edition)
Nov. 19, 2004 — the night Ron Artest levitated into the stands, Stephen Jackson hosted a meet & greet with his fists, and Jermaine O’Neal slid into NBA history like it was home plate.
The NBA lost its mind.
The Pacers lost their title chances.
And the world gained… a dress code.
👔 Thanks to this brawl:
– Reggie Miller never got a ring
– The NBA went full “business casual”
– And David Stern became the first commissioner to suspend a whole season of vibes.
“The journey to World Peace had a few… detours.”
