yeah but is going after someone who assaulted you first a 70 plus game suspension offense? i don't think so and if it was someone other than artest it wouldn't have been that harsh, that's what i'm saying. a few years ago an NBA player went into the stands and punched a fan for just insulting him and he got much much less than this.
