John Green, the man who infamously threw a beer cup at Ron Artest that sparked a huge brawl at the Palace at Auburn Hills, has been banned for life from the arena.

"You are forever banned from attending any Detroit Pistons home games," reads the letter from John Ciszewski, executive vice president of the Pistons.

Pistons spokesman Kevin Grigg would only say: "The decision with John Green was made by our organization after discussions with league officials."
