Malice palace is absolutely one of the most infamous moments in sports lore. It's either one of the most awesome or one of the most embarrassing events depending on who you ask.
As someone from metro Detroit who was a kid at that time I remember it being crazy and all over the news. As an adult that is one of the wildest awesomely embarrassing moments of the decade. Mind you the lions went 0-16 in that same decade
Malice at the Palace was so damn infamous that TO THIS DAY whenever players Squabble Up you will always hear the announcers on the microphone going “EVERYONE STAY IN YOUR SEATS DO NOT GET UP AND GET ON THE FLOOR!! EVERYONE REMAIN SEATED”!!! It’s hilarious any time I see/hear it.
The players today ain't built like that. Incidents like Malice At the Palice were very commonplace in the NBA in the 80s and 90s. Just look up the fights that Larry Bird and Patrick Ewing had.
@@drillcollins It's a different generation of players. Guys like Artest and Jackson came from that old school era where dudes played hard and scrapped. The guys these days are too scared of losing money and social media followers, plus the NBA polices everything they do and even say. LaMello Ball just got fined $100K for saying "No homo" and I only can imagine what the punishment for a "Malice At The Palace" would be like for him.
You better be a rich man by now with all this great entertainment you give us. One of the best storytellers Ive ever seen. Everytime I hear “_____ had a problem.” I go get the 🍿 and get ready for a great ride. 🙌
You explained it so well. My favorite part about the Malace at the Palace is how normal it actually was when you know all the facts. It was a wild situation, but it made perfect sense when/how/why it happened.
Yes Metta World Peace (now Metta Sandiford-Artest after marriage) was born Ron Artest Jr. in Queens, New York. He's actually calmed down a lot since back then but yeah bro was tweakin back in the day.
That is absolutely crazy. Crazier still is that I'm only just now finding out Ron Artest and MWP are the same person despite knowing both names for as long as I can remember 😅
I don’t just remembered this game. I was fkn there. My Dad took me to the game when I was 9 years old. Saw it all unfold from the upper sections until he dragged me and brother outside for our safety. Let’s just say there was a lot of talk in school that week Also, RIP to the Palace where Isiah beat Magic
Steven Jackson a real one ngl Did everything he could to keep ron out of trouble but he didn’t hesitate to throw hands for his man i’d have a drink with him
I know most of the stories you post but it's the way you narrate them that has me binge watching your content for the last few days... I love it when you say...BET...see he had a problem😂😂😂😂 Love from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
I would love to hear Xevi's take on Eric Cantona taking out a Crystal Palace fan back in the nineties. It wasn't anywhere near this insane, but it was a HUGE deal at the time in football (soccer)
Ruh, u gotta do way more old school stories, ur story telling is hilarious and top teir! Very good insight and context. Break down the past for the youth in ur undeniable style. Salute bro!
That's why Slam Dunk is more a documentary than a shounen anime. Never try to pick a fight with a 6'6 delinquent with better cardio than you and all your friends combined.
3:12 that’s Charlie. He been the cell phone man ever since this I stg 😭 i would say the name of his store front but I don’t trust people to not call and troll him about it he be pisseddd😭😭😭😭😭😭
1:44 in recent videos with Ron our test he states that the reason why he went to lay down is because he had at this point multiple visits with his own therapist, who gave him exercises and ways for him to avoid conflict, such as what would happen nowadays, we call a mental health check. This is confirmed. For reference, look up NBA throwback documentary “Malice in the palace”
The guy who seemed like an innocent victim was actually the instigator the whole time.
No it was actually the guy standing next to him
the biggest plot twist
Artest got the wrong uy
@@andre2005XDthe first guy who got punched was the reason the guy in green threw the drink in the first place so the right guy got hit ironically
Amazing story telling... him and Mr Ballen ❤

Most awesome. Alcoholics + a psycho is a gooooood show
As someone from metro Detroit who was a kid at that time I remember it being crazy and all over the news. As an adult that is one of the wildest awesomely embarrassing moments of the decade. Mind you the lions went 0-16 in that same decade
@@wjwhitt Facts as as somebody whos straight from Detroit i was in 5th grade. My teacher was even talking about it with us the next day in class.
Xevi could've easily done another 20 minutes on what went down
On Crip it's long overdue for another Malice in the Palace because basketball referees be sending me up the mf wall
"He be trippin sometimes" is somehow both an understatement and perfectly succinct.
ron threw all them blows and decided to rename himself world peace right after
this why he a legend 😭
THAT part 😂
That sounds fucking restarted dude 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😭😭 too damn funny
"are you following so far?" YES, SIR
🤓
the video progressively gets more insane with every sentence you say😭
Xevi AND basketball? peak.
''Jumped into the stands and started throwing hands with fans'' I see new Kendrick album got you inspired. Bars.
Ron with the baseball slide punch is amazing.
I live 15 minutes away from the Palace of Auburn hills
That punch was some anime ass shit
Wasn’t that Jermaine O’Neal?
That was Jermaine o'neal
so, the malice at the palace essentially happened because of a bet? lmao 🤣
lmao thats the wildest part to me
Very stupid to go through with it 😂you playing with your freedom throwing stuff at players
@@lilyt..$80 today with inflation. 😂😂😂😂😂
Fr bro. Was about to say the same thing. 🤣🤣🤣
@@lilyt.. that man was 70% booze at that point lmaoooo
Malice at the Palace was so damn infamous that TO THIS DAY whenever players Squabble Up you will always hear the announcers on the microphone going “EVERYONE STAY IN YOUR SEATS DO NOT GET UP AND GET ON THE FLOOR!! EVERYONE REMAIN SEATED”!!! It’s hilarious any time I see/hear it.
I mean common sense lol why did the fans feel the need to get in on the players beef
@@katierasburn9571 🍺
Literally LOL’d at the fact that the Josh guy was the prosecutor’s neighbor 💀 what an insane coincidence
Best friendship story ever. “How’d yall meet?” “ I threw a drink at him and it escalated into an all out stadium brawl”
0:20 the laugh into the serious face 😭man im dead
fr that shit killed me 😂😂
😂😂😂😂nah fr
I always loved this story. The malice at the palace can never happen today
The players today ain't built like that. Incidents like Malice At the Palice were very commonplace in the NBA in the 80s and 90s. Just look up the fights that Larry Bird and Patrick Ewing had.
how you figure
@@angusmerriweather1589 If there were ever a player that would recreate this, it would be Draymond Green
@@samortmann5003 That's true but Draymond is really the only one.

Could listen to this guy explain stories for days 😂😂😂
MALICE AT THE PALACE! I remember watching this on tv as a lil kid Live.
Wild time man 😂😂😂😂
Had to double back and remember what year this took place when I heard “pistons were a good team” 😂
This was following their last championship...they would go on to lose the finals that year against the spurs
Lol the reveal at the end was great
Josh!😂
Top 5 bets of all time
Yeah at the start i was like "Bro why he hitting the guy-" at the end "Nah he was right."
that’s the wildest best friend origin story I’ve ever heard 💀
You better be a rich man by now with all this great entertainment you give us. One of the best storytellers Ive ever seen. Everytime I hear “_____ had a problem.” I go get the 🍿 and get ready for a great ride. 🙌
I'm not even from the US but Malice at the Palace will forever live rent-free in my head thanks to the Bill Burr bit about it.
First street justice…then actual justice…followed by moral justice…whole situation is so great
Facts !!!
You explained it so well. My favorite part about the Malace at the Palace is how normal it actually was when you know all the facts. It was a wild situation, but it made perfect sense when/how/why it happened.
Craziest fight in nba history.
fr, actual full on hands being thrown
There were definitely others back in the 80s and 70s before the NBA was mainstream
@@deonlepharaoh I’d like to learn bout those, can you tell me some so I can see?
@Hunter-vb2bg one I saw before was bob Lanier getting into it with a fan...the rest I've seen on random NBA brawl highlights
@@Hunter-vb2bg oh and I forgot Dr j vs bird was a good one but not involving fans if I remember correctly
"Malice at the Palace" sounds like a goth band name 😂 love the story time Xevi, you the best 🎉
Bro delivering like Uber eats
How could TH-cam hide this from me for 59 seconds
“Now I know what you are thinking”
*Pulls up chair*
Pistons fans were just trashing the players it was wild
Xevi is in the click immediately category 🎉
It's wild how adrenaline-filled athletes are expected to be docile and passive in the face of belligerence and literal assault
Luckily, the narrative for Ron changed when we saw the drink. It was wrong but definitely in the realm of understandable.
Xevi dropping wild af NBA Lore?
*LOCK IN*
I vividly remember watching it that Friday on ESPN, it was surreal asf 😂
5:32 OOOOOOOH , Ron is Meta Worldpeace?!
Yes Metta World Peace (now Metta Sandiford-Artest after marriage) was born Ron Artest Jr. in Queens, New York. He's actually calmed down a lot since back then but yeah bro was tweakin back in the day.
@KiraDaBeastNY I see!!!
You explained that so perfectly even though I already knew the story. You had me laughing like crazy at the end about the cheering fan. 😂😂❤
I need someone to fund this dude sitting down and giving us a however many part series on the history of the world.
“So Adolf had a problem”
@@bigboyepic8598" so jesus had a problem"
That is absolutely crazy. Crazier still is that I'm only just now finding out Ron Artest and MWP are the same person despite knowing both names for as long as I can remember 😅
One of his stories finally has a happy ending other than the bad guy in prison😂
I don’t just remembered this game. I was fkn there. My Dad took me to the game when I was 9 years old. Saw it all unfold from the upper sections until he dragged me and brother outside for our safety. Let’s just say there was a lot of talk in school that week
Also, RIP to the Palace where Isiah beat Magic
Ahhhh a typical schoolyard story of how men became best friends.
I don't even care about the NBA but it's Xavi
Xevi always has a problem his problem is that he posts absolute 🔥 content always a 🐐
Steven Jackson a real one ngl
Did everything he could to keep ron out of trouble but he didn’t hesitate to throw hands for his man
i’d have a drink with him
Whats funny is Ben Wallace is one of the scariest dudes in NBA history. Like an enforcer on the court.
I know most of the stories you post but it's the way you narrate them that has me binge watching your content for the last few days...
I love it when you say...BET...see he had a problem😂😂😂😂
Love from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
I'm so old I remember when this happened. 90's baby
The day that Ron became Von
'Ron Artest picked his battles' - my boy Ka$h from prison, this quote changed my life.
One key moment is Ben had just buried his brother a few days before the game. So his emotions were all over the place.
I was watching this game live. Pacers were primed to win the title that year 🥺
I know sad
Ruined miller's final season...with a reloaded roster
Everyone came for peace, and stayed for pieces 💀
"I think I'mma do it."
Words often heard moments before a disaster.
Man, if more things like makice at the palace happened, it would definitely raise the ratings
5:27 world peace on the back of his jersey is crazy work lol 😂
That man changed James Harden’s brain chemistry forever while he was wearing that jersey
This video is award-worthy!
Nice rack!
3:26 😂😂😂 the "yyeeeee" .😂😂
Bro Xevi my favorite TH-camr so far🤣🤣🤣🤣 everything detailed and funny 🤣
Lets not forget this cost Reggie Miller his last chance at a ring. A ring he was very hungry for, never gave up on and very much deserved.
Malice at the palace starting cuz of a bet sounds like a sitcom bit tbh
Or a cutaway
That 2v50 against the audience was definitely a Free Bird Solo moment
Ngl David Stern might’ve just saved Ron Artest career back in 2004 after his suspension.
Player jumped into the stands and started throwing hands with fans... *BARS*
I would love to hear Xevi's take on Eric Cantona taking out a Crystal Palace fan back in the nineties. It wasn't anywhere near this insane, but it was a HUGE deal at the time in football (soccer)
Bro got 50 bucks and a friend for life
The first dude that got punched but didn't even throw the drink, must've been able to retire off this shit
The ending is so wholesome. It’s been a while since I’ve heard a story of men becoming friends after throwing hands 😂
The friendship that was made along the way tho😂😂
Saw this live. Craziest thing ever on TV. Ron a legend
@2:15 I literally started drooling laughing 🤣 hahahah
Ruh, u gotta do way more old school stories, ur story telling is hilarious and top teir! Very good insight and context. Break down the past for the youth in ur undeniable style. Salute bro!
Surprisingly wholesome ending considering the significance this had in Basketball history afterwards
I remember watching this live, Epic asf🏁🏁🏁
One of my favorite fights of all time in the nba
Remember watching this live as a kid, i fkn loved it xD
When Artest had black air force energy on
Also Jermaine O’Neil if he didn’t slip before hitting that guy on the floor. That guy wouldn’t be here today.
As a Detroit fan, I became a Ron Artest fan the first time him and Wallace squared up--I became a Ron Artest STAN after malice at the palace 🤣🤣
He forgot the best part. This whole thing started cuz Ron didn’t want to fight Ben. Ben pushed him and he called down instantly.
I remember seeing highlights on ESPN like it was yesterday. That moment definitely resulted in the slow death of NBA physicality.
My nigga your content is good as hell I hope you reach succes in your life
Brah, you don't know how much your videos help me😂
It's obvious how much effort you put in!
I love your videos and your storytelling dude! So happy I found you and have been a loyal viewer since! Thanks for all the amazing content!!
That's why Slam Dunk is more a documentary than a shounen anime. Never try to pick a fight with a 6'6 delinquent with better cardio than you and all your friends combined.
This is like morgan freeman reading you your favorite bedtime story
This..was amazing. I ran over there to Netflix to watch it more...thank you so much. You are amazing.
“WE WILDIN?!”😂😂😂😂
I need a 20 min video or longer. Ya vids are better than almost any documentary I ever seen
The tiny little ref holding everyone apart 😂
Detroit Vs Colorado hockey beef was going on a few years before this too. What a crazy time to be a Detroit fan, fight night every night
Sometimes you gotta beat the friendship into people lol
Across all sports my favorite thing is teammates going all out for each other.
I love the way this man tells stories😂😂😂
3:12 that’s Charlie. He been the cell phone man ever since this I stg 😭 i would say the name of his store front but I don’t trust people to not call and troll him about it he be pisseddd😭😭😭😭😭😭
Most wild shit I've heard ever! I remember this happening. To know they are friends and the full backstory is craaaaaazy! 😂😂
I got to see all this happen on TV when it happened, I was young as hell but knew I was watching something legendary unfold
Bro lost $50 and got paws put on him on camera 😂
Bro definetly just watched that netflix doc
1:44 in recent videos with Ron our test he states that the reason why he went to lay down is because he had at this point multiple visits with his own therapist, who gave him exercises and ways for him to avoid conflict, such as what would happen nowadays, we call a mental health check.
