What If Malice at the Palace Never Happened? (NBA Simulation)
The 2004 “Malice at the Palace” changed the NBA forever, but it also destroyed the Indiana Pacers’ best chance at a championship. We simulated a timeline where Ron Artest walks away, the brawl never happens, and the Pacers keep their core together. In this alternate history, Reggie Miller doesn’t retire ringless—he rides off into the sunset as an NBA champion.
Does this Pacers squad have enough to beat the Spurs or Pistons without the suspensions? We break down the full simulation, showing how a disciplined Artest and a healthy Jermaine O’Neal dominate the Eastern Conference, finally giving Indiana the trophy they were destined for.
