He's not at ALL responsible.
For ANY of this.

He's responsible for his part in what happened on the court.
No more, no less.

Spoiler: There's no documentary to be made for that. That's news, but not headline news. And nobody is going to revisit two players getting into the non-fight you're talking about.

You know who is responsible for the actual "Malice In The Palace" though?

The fan who threw a fucking drink at a player.

End of story. The players who reacted, share a piece of that blame.

But Ben throwing a wrist band at another player isn't an invitation for fans to throw shit too.

What kind of backward ass logic is that?

You sound like the media covering this at the time, trying to shift as much blame as possible to the players- up to and including a player who had absolutely nothing to do with the actual incident at the center of the newsworthy part of all this.

We've seen all manner of inter-player dust ups.

That doesn't mean the fans were part of it

In this instance, a few fans decided to make themselves part of it.

And it was one fan in particular that is responsible for this incident. But Ben Wallace throwing wristbands has nothing to do with that.
