Watch the Netflix Documentary on the Malice at the Palace. The fans were wrong, and that’s coming from a lifelong Detroit resident and fan. If you wanna be a tough guy and talk a bunch of shit and throw things at the players, or even go onto the floor as some did, be prepared to get your block knocked and have nobody feel bad about it 🤷♂️
Whenever theres nothing good to watch on youtube or no new shows on netflix I can always count on the OB to put out 3 solid vids a day. Thank you guys! 😁
There were several interesting ABA teams that either did not go on or changed cities. The Miami Floridians had women called "ballgirls" who actually wore bikinis on the court. My kind of team accessory...!
Dave was right about Sherman White. He got the harshest punishments out of all of the players very likely due to his color. Even though he only participated in a couple of fixes (games likely decided already and just covering the spread). He having only joined during his senior season well after the fixes had been going on, they threw the book at him sending him to prison and out of all places Rikers in the 50’s was hell on earth (it’s not too much better now). He even refused to partipates in some fixes and he was threatened by the mobster after he lost a ton of money on the game. Young players thinking they aren’t really hurting anyone and just making some extra money shaving to cover the spread got them into mob activities much larger, dangerous, and massive consequences.
I don’t like how the narrator says Ron Artest started what’s known as The Malice at the Palace. If John Green hadn’t have thrown the drink on Ron, the game would have eventually resumed. Ron was laying on the scorer’s table because he was doing some deep breathing exercises that he learned in anger management classes.
The 76ers were originally from Syracuse, NY (The Nationals) and moved to Philadelphia in 1963 after the Warriors moved from Philly to California (the current Golden State Warriors).
5:59 In a previous video just a few weeks ago I said Ron "Meta World Peace" Artest started the biggest brawl in NBA history and some massive douchebag replied "Artest didn't start anything...a guy threw a drink at him." I said well it's just semantics...so whatever word YOU prefer,...was involved in...engaged in...whatever. Then hereis this video saying "Ron was known for INCITING the biggest NBA brawl." So whoever that guy was, GFY!
Speaking of fans entering the "playing area".. watch fans getting beat up by wrestlers who thought things were real and they were tough.. got the sh!t kicked out of them.. good stuff.
A lot of times when you're really talented people look the other way about your drug addictions they see you as a money train and they don't want to do anything little slow that train down including telling you you need to take time off go to rehab or possibly you can quit playing all together
To Daz’s point about not understanding why people in positions of merit do abhorrent things; It’s because they are in a position in life where they can pretty much have anything they want and live without much consequence. They do bad things to see how much they can get away with.
You sound like an ignorant person. Who defeated y’all. Why can’t you say British? What is y’all? Like you are addressing these guys that do the reactions
As crazy as it sounds, the WWE really lead the frontier in helping their athletes with drug abuse problems. Makes sense even though it was rampant in pro sports, it started to become lethal in the WWE.
Actually it was David stern and the nba. Especially after the Len bias situation. His death had direct impact on drug laws throughout the country. All the leagues and organizations had to shake down the rampant drug issues after that, because of how big of a name he was.
@Dayspring From what I gather from the guys that worked for Vince he was mostly liked and respected, Montreal screw job aside. He has instituted a comprehensive drug rehab policy for wrestlers that need it. Done it for almost 3 decades.
@@TheIcemanthomas I was talking more about a business going holy crap, this is a problem, and giving the guys who were struggling, Scott Haul comes to mind, like insurance for this kind of disease
LOL yeah the WWE is a real bastion of helping "athletes" clean up...which is why sooo many wrestlers die young from having pumped themselvs ith so many steroids and painkillers for decades while the WWE looks the other way.

Back when OJ Mayo joined the Dallas Mavericks, I ran into him several times at PetSmart there before the season started. He was pretty chill and a nice guy.
Does it make you people feel better to answer a question that's already been answered 20 times before you left your comment? What's even worse is that you acknowledge that question has already been answered before you answer it! Whats the purpose of doing that?
Too lazy to scroll and read other comments, but yeah I feel better answering this question, hopefully it has already been answered numerous times though...
Sherman White passed away in 2011. He was apparently a really gifted player. “Sherman would have put us over the top,” the Knicks Hall of Fame guard Dick McGuire told The Record of New Jersey in 1999. “We would have won championships with him. What you see now with Kevin Garnett, Marcus Camby and Lamar Odom, you saw Sherman doing back then. He was well before his time.”
It’s already been answered but the 76er’s come from 1776. That merger actually happened before ‘76 but was blocked in courts until that year. There were four teams that came to the NBA from it though: Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, Denver Nuggets, and San Antonio Spurs.
Stfu, what do u know about these guys and the decisions they made, whether it be self inflicted or being the only black player out of all his white teammates and coach to be singled out and sentenced to f’ing Rykers for gambling that he was forced/threatened to do by the mob..

76ers named for 1776. American Indeendence signed in Philly. Dave is Right!! They were 76ers since early 60s. Syracuse Nationals before that.
Cant buy codeine without a prescription here in the US unless it’s in the watered down cough syrup version too

I met OJ Mayo when he played in Memphis he’s a very nice guy

Philadelphia 76ers got their name from Philadelphia being the birthplace of the United States in 1776.

6:10 bruh Ben Wallace was so strong 😂
You guys gotta make a NBA vid reacting to Giannis Antetokounmpo aka (Greek Freek) finals Highlights or mixtapes
That's my man, all of my grandparents & my mom were born in Greece.
There's a Netflix documentary about that Ron Artes incident called Malice at the palace
Obviously Artest didn't instigate that fight. Some goof in the crowd did.
1776 yes signed the Declaration of Independence in Philly hence the team name 76ers
The genius who decided it was a good idea to attack innocent viewers shouldn't have been banned, he should have been thrown in jail.

Codeine is in the opiate class of drugs, and not similar to cocaine. More similar to morphine. Just FYI
6:25 Bill Burr has a hilarious bit about this moment that´s on youtube, you guys should react to it...

Apparently Tyreke Evans is trying to work his way up to NBA now, last time I saw his name he was in the NBA G league.
You guys should react to the malice in the palace.
1776 was a good year in our history. Lots of results. Hats off to the farmers and wife’s who defeated ya’ll.

I guess your chance to be banned goes up if you're traded to the Indiana Pacers😬
Its because of 1776. Philadelphia was America's capital city during the American Revolution.

5:15 are you guys sure it's codeine and not codone, because codeine in America is a prescription cough suppressant
At least the NBA and NFL are no longer testing and punishing players for testing positive for Marijuana.
They need to because weed heads are the biggest drug addicts
80% of these guys have been from the Pacers. connect those dots.

Did he say codeine is the code word for coke?
there;s a great documentary about malice in the palace. explains alot and really gives you insight
There's no insight needed. Ben Wallace reacted like a little bitch and set off the whole fight. That's pretty much it
76 is when we kicked y’all out and the non league team is Sutton UTD
