NBA: Pistons/Pacers .. Has anyone seen this?
I saw this floating around but never saw it in the paper (I didn't read Saturdays)
So I am hoping someone from Detroit may've seen this or at least the paper that day to help confirm or squash this story.. Sunday May 22 2005 - Detroit News - Weird Scene The Pistons were still shaking their heads at what happened Thursday night as they were on their bus inside the loading-dock area of Conseco Fieldhouse. It was between 11:30 and midnight and the Pistons' bus was about to leave the arena for the airport. Suddenly, a dark Escalade roared into the loading dock, nearly hitting several people. Out jumped Ron Artest, the Pacers forward who got a seasonlong suspension for his part in the Nov. 19 brawl. According to Pistons players on the bus, Artest was wearing an old (and short) pair of shorts. He had no shoes on and, upon getting out of the vehicle, he tore off his T-shirt. Given the history between Artest and the Pistons, the team's security officials were on high alert. But Artest made no motion toward the bus. He simply walked, bare-chested and bare-footed, into the building, presumably for a midnight workout. "There's something going on there," Ben Wallace said, not wanting to comment further. It seems really weird to be true, but then it's Ron Artest, which makes it hold some water. Anyways, I just wanted to post because this is the first I recall hearing of it. |

Saw it a couple of days ago on a different board. People are saying that Artest was trying to make a point, that he and the Pistons will be back, better than ever or some bullshit. Personally, I think the dude is a whackjob...
