The 6-8 swingman enjoyed some success during his playing career, averaging 15.1 points per game with seven different teams, and won a championship with the Spurs in 2003. But he’ll best be remembered for his antics away from the court, and, one time, in the stands.

On Nov. 19, 2004, during the final minutes of a regular-season game between the Pacers and Pistons, a shoving match broke out between Jackson, Pacers teammate Ron Artest and several Pistons players. As officials worked to sort through the commotion, the situation escalated into one of the most infamous in NBA history as Artest stormed into the stands to confront a heckler.

As Artest struggled with several fans, Jackson, who followed closely behind, also joined in and punched a man who he claimed had called him racial epithets.

Jackson was suspended 30 games without pay for his role, which amounted to $1.7 million in lost salary. In all, nine players were banned for a total of more than 140 games — the harshest single-game penalty in NBA history — in what became known as the “Malice in the Palace.”

Jackson was also charged criminally in the incident with one count of misdemeanor assault and battery. Four Pacers teammates and seven fans also faced charges.

“When I hit that fan, I definitely enjoyed it — until that fine came down,” Jackson said during a 2012 interview with ESPN. “That $3 million (actually $1.7 million in salary lost) I lost killed me. It brought me back to reality because I could have lost my job.

“It was wild because it had never been done before. And it will never happen again so, yeah, adrenaline was flowing. How many people can say that they’ve punched a fan?”

Jackson remained with the Pacers until 2007 when he was traded to the Warriors. It was with Golden State when he enjoyed the best statistical seasons of his career, averaging 20.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 2007-08 and 20.7/5.1/6.5 in 2008-09.

The rest of Jackson’s career was dotted with dubious headlines and a 2006 felony charge for firing a gun outside an Indianapolis strip club.

He was never named to an All-Star team, but he can say that he did indeed punch a fan.
