Stephen Jackson confirms Malice at the Palace documentary

Stephen Jackson was a central figure in one of the most infamous events in NBA history, and the former player has lent his voice to a documentary about it.

Jackson, Metta World Peace, and Jermaine O'Neal are in the process of putting together a documentary about 2004's Malice at the Palace, he confirmed to theScore's Joseph Casciaro on the "Pound The Rock" podcast.

"There's a lot of stuff that went on that people don't know," Jackson said. "There's so much to the story ... we can walk people through everything."

Jackson, World Peace (then known as Ron Artest), and O'Neal were members of the Indiana Pacers on Nov. 19, 2004, when a massive brawl involving fans broke out at the end of a game against the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The fallout from the incident resulted in a combined 131-game suspension for the trio and essentially ended what was a strong Indiana team's title hopes.

Jackson said there's no release date for the documentary yet, but the 15th anniversary of the incident falls in 2019.

The effects of the near-riot are still felt to this today around the NBA. The league has implemented increased security measures in arenas and alcohol rules that limit purchases to two per fan. Additionally, venues now stop selling alcohol after the third quarter.
