You may change your mind after seeing this clip. It's got a good shot of O'Neal OFF OF THE FLOOR fighting.

Not only that but when he blindisded the fan on the court, he was NOT DEFENDING HIMSELF. He races across the floor and blindsided the guy. The guy was no way near him and not threatening to him.
And yes, he was in the stands!
And Steven Jackson, he should have received the same suspension as Artest, or worse. He wasn't even provoked like Artest was. Yet he still chose to dive into the fracas instead or trying to get his teammate out of the stands, like Reggie Miller was doing. Instead of being part of the solution, he becamse part of the problem.
