Artest, O'Neal, Jackson and Wallace should be kicked out of the league permanently without pay, and both teams should be severely fined. Can you imagine Jerry West laying down on the scorer's table during a game? Or would Walt Frazier have run into the stands smacking fans in head until he finds the one fan who threw refreshments at him? Some fans should be dealt with severely as wellwe'll know who they are once they start showing up in court with their multi-million dollar lawsuits.
Commissioner Stern, this is your opportunity to send a positive message to the youthful fans of professional sports; when you act like a lawless, disrespectful idiot, you pay a tremendous price.
