Lakers News: Metta World Peace Talks About Relationship With Mike Brown

Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace, formely known as Ron Artest, will always be known by most for one incident.

While he was a member of the Indiana Pacers in 2004, a fan threw something at Artest at the Palace at Auburn Hills in Detroit in a game between the Pacers and Pistons, and Artest being the fiery guy that he was went charging into the stands to fight the fan and a massive brawl ensued.

It could have been a lot worse for Artest, who was suspended for a full NBA season, if it were not for Pacers assistant coach Mike Brown who chased Artest in the stands and stopped him.
