'These are thugs. That's literally the word that they used,' says Jermaine O'Neal in the immediate aftermath of the 2004 Pacers-Pistons brawl.
Along with the interviews and in-depth explanations as to what created the perfect storm between two rival teams and personal issues individual players were going through at the time, the documentary includes new footage of the incident from different angles, detailing exactly how the brawl unfolded.
As the players watched the news reports the next morning — which seemed to be on every channel, not just local news and ESPN — they saw zero onus placed on the fans’ involvement, just their own actions, making them immediately dismissed as “thugs” and the “hip-hop generation” of players. “The narrative had changed. It was all about us, the players,” says Miller.
“All of a sudden, my character is in question,” he says. “These are thugs. That’s literally the word that they used. And everyone signed off, ‘Yeah, it’s rap music and it’s this.’ Well, they are not saying that when hockey [players] are beating the hell out of each other for decades.”
