Stephen Jackson dropped some interesting information Tuesday about Metta World Peace and the fan who ignited the infamous "Malice at the Palace" brawl between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons in 2004.
Appearing on ESPN's "The Jump" with Rachel Nichols, Jackson said World Peace and John Green, the fan who lobbed a cup onto the then-Ron Artest's chest, are actually friends now and talk every day.
Nichols seemed shocked by the revelation, but Jackson insisted it's true.
"They keep in touch and they're real good friends," he said.
