    Sometimes you have to earn your vacation the hard way. Every GM in the eastern conference is laughing their asses off, except Larry Bird.

    Even after the 30 games, I'd be a lil suprised if Artest ever wear a Pacer's uniform again.

    He might have just ruined their season.

    i think it will be more interesting to see what lawsuits will be handed out

    I'm guessing the fans & players will all get slapped with misdemeanors, plead out to disorderly conduct or something like that, and pay small fines or get deferred adjudication

    these suspensions are crap. Artest deserves maybe a 2 game suspension. He was completely justified in my book. This will screw up my fantasy team

    I'm expecting bonus tracks in his album, with guest appearances by Jermaine.

    K.R.A.Z.I.N.E.S.S (Artest/Method)

    Brawlin (featuring JO)

    Ballaz paradise, remix of gangsta's paradise

    Pacers ain't nuthin to f**k wit (Artest/JO/Action Jackson/live members of Wu Tang Clan)

    I've got yo back (Action Jackson/JO)

    Have you seen my childhood(Lyrics by MJ)

    The album goes quadruple platnum, however the proceeds were turned over to the Dutch guy tackled by Artest on court order.

    "Ballaz paradise" and "Brawlin" are banned from playing in any NBA arenas by Stern.

    I'm trying to figure out why in the world did J. O'Neal got so many games, let alone suspended at all. He wasn't part of the rumble in the stands at the start and only hit a fan once the fan crossed the line by being on the court. He got into the fans while trying to leave for the tunnel, but agian, the fans crossed the line and attacked him. Other than that, I agree for the most part with the suspension totals even though I side on the side of Artest.

    The fans involved should be suspended from going to games for the rest of their lives, man.

    I think any contact/altecation with the fan led to a suspension on the court or not. 30 games is a little to heavy imo, artest did charge up into the stands but i didnt see any punches landed or anthing, he was quickly held down by the fans. jackson imo should get the biggest one he just straigtup whacked any fan in sight and you knew he was looking for a fight.

    The two fat mexicanish looking guys deserved what they got. I didnt see any security or police prevent them from approaching artest. Those guys wernt trying to get an autograph and thats for sure, security cant take care of it when theyre not there so artest had to "neutralize" them himself.

    WTF???

    The dude ran and cold cocked a guy in the side of the head.

    O'neal and Jackson arguably were the worst offenders.
