The Auburn Hill Palace incident, although it has been 17 years, is still an NBA official reluctance to mention, in this incident, the troublesome players were punished by the top, the initiator Artest was banned for the whole season, Stephen Jackson, who punched the fans, was banned 30 games, O'Neal Jr. was banned 25 games, Anthony Johnson was banned 5 times, and Miller the Elder was banned for 1 game, and the total fines of these players plus the suspension losses reached tens of millions of dollars.
However, the ban and fine do not mean that the matter is over, for example, The Pistons fan William, who was brainshook by Artest, finally received millions of dollars in compensation through a 4-year lawsuit. Another fan who was knocked unconscious by Jackson,Bryant also filed a lawsuit, and next, let's first see why Bryant was KO by St. Jackson.
In the Oppen Hill Palace incident, Artest, who was forced by Ben Wallace to confess, lay on the technical table for training, Pistons fan Green threw a beer at Artest, and Artester mistook the fan William as the provocateur, quickly rushed forward, and holding William was a violent beating.
But Artest obviously provoked the wrong person, just the so-called workers have power, the piston is the city of cars, how can these auto workers admit it, Artest is surrounded, at this time Stephen Jackson was initially planning to come forward to persuade the fight, but when Jackson approached, the fan Bryant threw a chair at Jackson, and shouted to Jackson: Your child is a rabbit cub, your mother gave birth to you should go to prison.
Bryant's words angered Jackson, Jackson rushed to Bryant's side is a swinging punch, a punch will be Bryant on the spot KO, which is why Jackson will have a "martial saint" nickname behind the reason, people do not talk much, the hands are fierce and black.
After seeing william sue Artest for millions of dollars, Bryant followed suit in suing Jackson. However, Williams was attacked by bryant who threw a chair in the incident, and he was charged with felony assault by the police.
Although Jackson fought back after being attacked, the NBA did not want to see the Auburn Hill incident continue to receive media attention, and in the end, after the bargaining between Jackson's team and Bryant, Bryant received hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation, and the matter was brought to an end. In the end, one punch knocked unconscious, got hundreds of thousands of dollars, do you think Bryant was lucky or unlucky? If it were you, would you dare to earn this money?
