    At the top of the list: NBA forward Ron Artest, with 12 suspensions. His most infamous came in the wake of a 2004 rumble between the Indiana Pacers (Artest’s team at the time) and the Detroit Pistons. During the brawl, Artest rushed a fan in the stands and punched another one on the court. The NBA kept Artest off the court for the remaining 73 games of the season.

    No. 1: Ron Artest
    Suspensions: 12*

    Team: Houston Rockets

    Ron Artest earned his most infamous suspension as an Indiana Pacer in 2004. He was a key player in the notorious brawl with the Detroit Pistons. During a chaotic rumble, Artest rushed a fan in the stands and punched another fan on the court. The NBA suspended Artest for the remainder of the season--73 regular-season games. Artest moved to the Houston Rockets this year. Says current teammate Yao Ming: "Hopefully he's not fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands." Artest's response? "I'm still ghetto."

    Wish he had that same attitude, can't wait to see him get in his groove so we can see him beat on his chest and scream at the fans on the road.

    Surprised to see Kenyon "Trina" Martin on there
