WHat an embarassment to a sport. Basketball is an art form, not jungleball. This is turning into a gladiator sport made of prima donas. IMHO it started with Spreewell...who should have gone to jail and been suspended from the sport.
I know several fine, mature, articulate gentlemen who also play at the highest levels in basketball. It's a real shame to see the NBA take the whole sport down the tube.

I think we can go back to that knucklehead in Philadelphia, Allen Iverson, who, as a yoot, was involved in a brawl in a bowling alley, got off the hook and got a scholarship to Georgetown. We've come full circle from brawling with fans in a bowling alley to brawling with them in the arena.

The past few minutes, Laura has been comparing Artest to the other professional victim Bill Clinton, especially his ranting threats to Peter Jennings last week.
