Puddy Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Probably not authentic but unbelievable anyway. Since I haven't figured out how to link to a different website here's a copy from msn. Cup thrown at Artest on eBay, then taken off The cup that ignited the biggest brawl in U.S. sports history could have been yours. Crossing the line An item purported to be the cup thrown from the stands at Pacers player Ron Artest last Friday night was on eBay for less than 24 hours after bidding went out of control. The cup, listed for sale by someone from Sterling Heights, Mich., was put up for auction Monday, but the bidding was closed Tuesday afternoon when the price went to $99,999,999. In the description of the cup, the seller wrote: "No sports collection will be complete without the addition of this vintage championship collector's edition beer cup. Simply a must for all Artest fans." There also were several photos of the cup hitting Artest, though there is no way to prove its authenticity. After Artest was hit with the cup, he went into the stands, setting off a melee between players and fans. Artest was suspended for the season, while teammate Stephen Jackson was suspended 30 games and Jermaine O'Neal 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolv Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 The cup would come in handy for holding the authentic and highly collectible sunflower seed shells spit out by Dusty Baker.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
