DREAM-TEAM / HIP-HOP CULTURE FINALLY COMES TO REST ON THE NBA - PING
____________________________________________________
Allen Iverson, Latrell Sprewell, Kobe Bryant, Dream Team failures, an embrace of all the negative aspects of the hip-hop culture and a horrid style of play have conspired to make the NBA easy to ignore.
By decimating the Pacers and publicly acknowledging that there has been a lowering of expectations in terms of player (and fan) behavior, Stern made it clear he's not in denial about the NBA's troubles.

NBA Commissioner David Stern sent a message to his players Sunday. By issuing three of the harshest penalties in league history-a 73-game suspension of Ron Artest ..... How many games in a season? When I first heard about this, I had hoped they would nail Artest with about half a season. This sounds like it might be possibly more than half.
Am I close?
