    It did happen and here is the proof. If this has been posted already I am sorry.


    Mavs' Van Exel is detained at All-Star party

    Guard was placed in handcuffs, but no arrests were made

    02/10/2003

    By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News

    ATLANTA - Mavericks guard Nick Van Exel was involved in an incident Saturday night at an exclusive All-Star
    weekend party that led to him and at least one other NBA player being handcuffed.

    Van Exel apparently was at the NBA players association party with James Posey, a close friend and a former
    teammate in Denver. According to accounts, Indiana's Ron Artest and Posey got into a heated discussion and
    Van Exel came to Posey's defense.

    Eyewitnesses, albeit teammates of Van Exel's, said he was blameless.

    "He didn't do anything," Steve Nash said. "I don't know why they treated him that way. That was not cool, and it
    was not fair."

    Apparently, the issue was resolved. There were no arrests
    made, according to NBA officials. A Mavericks official said Van
    Exel was in good spirits Sunday. Nash agreed.

    "It all got washed away," he said. "Nick's fine."

    Added Dirk Nowitzki, who was with Nash at the party: "I don't
    know what happened. He was hanging with his boys and the
    next thing you know, he was in handcuffs

    Wanted for everyone to see it and for it not to get lost in another thread. Besides nobody was really sure if the incident really happened as I could tell by the last topic on this subject. I just wanted to provide you guys with some hardcore facts and not a bunch of hear-say rumors.

    those aren't facts.....there still aren't any legit witnesses that can account for artest being there.

    my guess is that posey got into it with somebody else (not artest), and his boy NVE tried to break it up.

    Artest probably bent Posey over and raped him. No way Posey could handle Artest.

    Van Exel came to Posey's defense.

    --Eyewitnesses--, albeit teammates of Van Exel's, said he was blameless.

    was not fair."



    If Ron Artest was not there, where was he and why are news outlets everywhere (not just ESPN) are reporting the same thing???????? :confused:

    Artest wasn't there? Everybody is saying that Artest was there, what people would just make up a lie and say "We don't know who was there, so we'll just say it was Ron Artest!"

    Posey isn't exactly a 100 pound weakling. Then again you're probably right, Artest is 246 pounds, acting like a lunatic, the guy is acting like he's all roided up!

    There really was no need to start a new thread about this. I'll cut and past this into the original thread.
