I remember this game from when I was a little kid. I thought the same thing then and never saw this footage again until now. Totally ridiculous.

But it didn't knock him down, didn't bruise him, didn't draw any blood, and he was pretty cognizant and walking around like nothing happened. It was like a 6 year old went and attacked him. Maybe it's just me, but I don't consider ineffective punches, even when the land, to someone getting their *** kicked.

Honestly, as far as punches thrown in an NBA game go, at least in the "recent" era, those are the most legit I've seen. They are usually "I'm slapping in your general direction trying to look tough while momentum carries me in the other direction to buy time for the ref to get in the middle of things."

Stackhouse certainly swings his fists similarly to how he swings his purse.
This is something that's always bothered me about the Jazz. Not just Karl. For instance:

AK goes to make sure KM is alright, but no one goes to make sure Martin is not. The only times I can think of where Jazz player stick up for each other is on later plays with cheap shots.

But wait, if any other NBA player gets in a fight, people on this forum call them thugs. So, you want Jazz players to do the same thing, but yet you guys insult people who get into fights all the time? This community makes no sense sometimes.
The Jazz never get back into fights because they go to play basketball and win games. Last I checked, punching somebody in the face wasn't basketball, and it's a good way to get yourself thrown out of the game, fined, suspended, etc. I just want to watch basketball. If I wanted to see people getting beaten up, I can watch football or hockey at any time.
I'll let it pass that you assume I think like everybody else on the forum. I guess I'll let it slide. I'm not necessarily asking anyone to punch anyone in the face, but you've got to let it be known that if you punch someone in the face, there will be consequences. The "thug" reputation (like who, by the way?) definitely isn't only about basketball. You think Laimbeer was thought of as a tough force inside simply because his play? I'll answer for you. HELL NO! It had a lot to do with the guy smacking mother ****ers outside the normal realm of play.
I would never accuse someone of being a "thug" based solely on the accused being in one fight. It depends on how they handle it. Take the Stackhouse video from the OP. He's not necessarily a thug because of it, but he sure is a *****.
