Most people didn't know who the hell he was before Friday. It's outrageous because he went into the stands and starting kicking the shit out of fans. Which is exactly what Stephen Jackson did. Let the courts take pity on him if he's a first-time offender. The league shouldn't. Every time Artest has done something before, he's been punished with ejections, suspensions, fines and benchings. The only thing he needs to be punished for is attacking fans. Not his entire life up to this point. Jackson should be gone for the year. They did the same shit.

I'm heading down to Detroit the next time to pick a fight with Ben Wallace... undoubtedly i'll get my ass kicked but then the Cav's will have more of a chance at the playoffs... taking one for the team! i’m just glad that two of the Cav’s division rivals are shorthanded for a while, if not the majority of the season.

Repeat offender. He smashed a TV monitor either last year or the year before. He constantly gets technical fouls and was kicked out of more than one game if I remember correctly. How is it that he isn't more guilty because he has been a dick in the past? Artest is certainly more guilty. Repeat offender. He smashed a TV monitor either last year or the year before.

Jermaine Oneal cold-cocked a fan who was standing up from getting cold-cocked by Artest Forget reputation. Artest isn't more guilty because he's been a dick in the past.

Forget reputation. Artest isn’t more guilty because he’s been a dick in the past.

Ron Artest is a notorious problem in the NBA, but the rest of the guys who were caught in the crossfire of this situation aren't bad citizens in the NBA to my knowledge.

The NBA is in the process of a steep slide from premier sports brand towards Ultimate Fighting Championship. They cannot afford to have these guys acting like this on TV, at an NBA event. It's not about what's fair or who hit who first or whether a fan was on the court. It's about marketing, and they have to roast these guys. And if you think the league sanctions are harsh, just wait until the personal injury lawyers get involved. I don’t think I could disagree more.
