and here I thought nba players weren't tough!! ok, well maybe they still arent, but damn!!

 

[Need4Speed]

the nba has enough black marks on their record, that hell, whats one more???

 

[Need4Speed]

They don't care. Deep down they love this stuff. It's all about ratings. Wait until these 2 play again. RATINGS = MONEY. This is good TV! :dthumb:

oh heck yeah, can u imagine the security measures they'll put in place for this one!!!

 

[Need4Speed]

Artest is suspended, without pay, for the rest of the season!. jackson i think it was got 35 games. Damn!!!!

 

[Need4Speed]

artest will still make out in this deal..u know he's gonna sue to fan who threw beer on him and kept antagonizing him...and the fan will in turn counter-sue him... as well as countless other lawsuits im sure..

 

[Need4Speed]

Artest isn't going to sue anyone. His agent won't let him do something stupid like that. He has no grounds for it. The players association will try and get him out of the suspension but it won't happen. If Artest is smart, he'll keep his mouth shut because he's going to be shelling out money to every fan he touched in that crowd and the Oakland County Prosecuter is going to have a field day with him and O'Neal and Jackson. I don't care if he had a cup thrown at him, he crossed the line and caused a riot. Artest will lose 5 million in salary for the rest of the season plus countless amounts in lawsuits. Good job guys. This is what happens when you fill the league with thugs.

if he's smart, he'll keep his mouth shut, I agree. take your punishment like a man, and move on. but dont you think he's gonna try and recoup some of that money with counter law suits, or basically whatever can be rationalized?

 

[Need4Speed]

No, he's going to settle out of court so he doesn't get the bad press plus settling out of court will result in less overall lawyer fees and lawsuit amounts. Say someone's going after him for 10 bucks. They can fight over it but if he knows he'll lose in the end, just offer up 7 or 8 bucks or both parties are in court forever and the lawyer fees just keep going up. That's the way he'll save (recoup) some of that money he stands to lose.

hhmmm, probably so, good point !

 

[Need4Speed]

The fan that threw the beer needs to be arrested along with everyone else that crossed the line. Artest got what he deserved too.

that fan will be rewarded for this in that he'll make millions after he sues for assualt and battery..what a crock!! :here:
