I can't find a link, but they've been playing it a lot on ESPN and such. It was the guy that started sucker punching Artest in the head from behind in the white hat and blue jacket. He underhanded it, and there was one angle that showed him clearly doing it.
Look, i'm not saying I don't somewhat understand why Artest did what he did. But given his past suspensions, the fact that he attacked fans (which I think is worse than pushing another player in any situation), and the fact that he knew Ben was mad at him, and just tried to piss him off more make me think he got what he deserved. All Ben did was push him, which, if you look at similar incidents in the past, his suspension was a lot longer than normal. Understandable, because of what followed. We can argue all we want about it in regards to whats worse, but in the end, what's done is done.
But my opinion all comes down to, I think charging into the stands is worse than an overreaction and push after a foul. Both are wrong though.
