Wallace reacted to a flagrent foul againts him, like every other player would in the league.

He started it my ass!


Im sure the league had a much better perspective on this and reviewed every tape. Artest and and the others had this coming and Im happy to see the league come down the way they did.

Exactly! He ran into the stands and kicked the shit out of some dude who didnt do a damn thing. The guy he beat ws not the person that even threw the cup. Watch criminal charges come againsts those three also. Oakland County does not fuck around. If nothing else, those three players need to get out the check book now because I few of those fans are going to be rich.

The other day, I went to a fight, but a basketball game broke out. :(

hahaaha "kicked the shit out of some dude"

hahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahaha

sorry

FF

I bet David Stern knows how to spell "loser" :1orglaugh

Total bullshit.

Yup, Artest broke the law. To the fans that not only provoked the fight but actually went onto the court to start fights should get charged also.

I prefer not to have barracades/plexy glass around basketball courts in the future if this is what it takes.

Oh they are. They have all been named and on the local new stations. Those are season ticket people in that area. They knew who they were.

Two of them have already turned themselfs in.

Why was Reggie Miller suspended... wasnt he in street clothes and his only role in the event was holding people back?

As far as the suspensions.. they were deserved. If a PROFFESIONAL athelete cant handle heckling and having shit thrown at them from the crowd, then they should find a new line of work. Ever see the shit outfielders in baseball have to put up with?

As for Big Ben, he should be suspended for a longer period of time. I agree he reacted like 90% of the league would have after the hard foul, and he would have lost a game or 2 from that alone. But he continued to go after Artest even after he was laying down on the score table and then went on to encourage the crowds activity whren the punches were being thrown. Incuiting a riot is a felony in most states, but i doubt any chrges will be filed against him.

Cant suspend or arrest the MVP from the world champs can ya... would be bad for business and thats all the NBA is after all, one big business

Super.

Here's my question. If Artest hit the guy in the stands then he broke the law. I couldn't make out what happened up there. Somebody here said he simply held a guy and asked "Did you throw beer at me". If that's the case, I don't think he broke the law. Was it innappropriate behavior to rush the stands, yes. If he did not hit anybody up there, he should be fine and doesn't deserve to be out the season.

Them darkies ruin it for everybody :BangBang:

:glugglug 50 Basketball Players Held Down By The Man

50 suspensions

Now if Lensman could be so smooth we could get rid of the trolls..

because he left the bench during the artest/wallace altercation

If thats the case, then all players from both teams should get a 1 game suspension

Wallace wasnt the MVP. Bullips was.

Not just one punch, repeated punches. They count 11 strikes from Artest to the kid in the glasses. When they pulled Artest off him, his teamate finshed the job. I dont think the National media is showing all the tapes of this. This kid was fucked up and spent the night in the hosptial. He has done tons of interviews here and his face is screwed up.

The dumb ass that came on the court though deserved everything he got. He came down and squared off on Artest. He needed his jaw broke.

anyone have a link to the video?

11? Got proof of that? and jackson hit the guy who threw the beer on Artest, not the kid in the glasses.

FF

Dude, you have proof he didnt? Please

The kid that Artest went after was not the person that threw the beer.

I'm telling you what I have seen from local tapes and media and my Tevo. Ive seen the blows, did I count each one, no. His elbow was up in the air several times from what I seen, then when Artest was pulled off, O'neal , maybe Jackson (i think it was, not sure on the name) sucker punched the guy from behind in the head, twice.

Unless Jackson hit a woman, he didnt hit the guy that threw the beer. The black women standing on the steps as Artest was running up the stands is the person that threw the beer cup.

She is is being charged.

plz don't throw in shit if you don't even know the names of the players involved, and all i asked for was if you had proof of your statement, lighten up man.

FF

Whos throwing shit?

I really dont think I need to know the exact names of the people involved to know what happened. Its was either Jackson or O'neal. I could watch it again and tell ya for sure, but Im pretty sure you know which guy and situation I am referring to.

Im not defending anyones actions here. Just giving out some info. Take it or leave it.

:)

Awesome! Artest deserves it

The pacer season is over. I kinda expected this though.

No way. We are gonna sign Rodman and beat the fuck out of more fans next time !

hope you are black with a comment like that

that shit was out of control

What a fight that was:)

harsh..most definitely but this will send a message to the entire league that something like this will not be tolerated at all.

Artest deserved the year due to his past behavior.
