That fight, and that historic punch, had implications for the NBA--and its stance towards on-court violence--that are still being felt today. This isn't to say there haven't been problems in basketball's recent past--Dennis Rodman kicking sideline photographers comes immediately to mind, for example. The NBA has always liked to think of itself as tough on these types of incidents, however, levying heavy fines for offending teams and players alike. With this most recent incident, and the ugly PR it's generated, the onus is now on the NBA and teams like the Pistons to take another look at its policies and security standards, to make sure something like this never happens again.

As the players continued shoving each other near center court and coaches tried to restore order, Artest sprawled out on his back on the scorer's table, looking relaxed.
Just when it appeared tempers had died down, Artest was struck by a cup and beverage thrown from the stands. He jumped up, and charged into the stands, throwing punches as he climbed over seats. The Pacers' next game is tonight at home against Orlando. Detroit hosts Charlotte on Sunday. The Pistons and Pacers don't play each other until Dec.
