NBA Suspends Artest for Rest of Season NEW YORK - The wrath of David Stern was unleashed, giving Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal a long time extremely long in Artest's case to ponder the error of their ways. NBA commissioner suspended Artest for the remainder of this season Sunday and disciplined eight other members of the Pacers and Pistons, sending a strong message that the league won't tolerate the type of unprecedented violence displayed Friday night.

Well, I guess Artest is going to have plenty of time to work on his album now, is a shame that he only wanted a month of.

I think the Punishments are really fair. Maybe Artest can get another CD plan.

This is a bullshit, excessive penalty. Vernon Maxwell hit a fan in 1995 in the stands and got suspended for 10 games. A FAN instigated this whole thing by throwing the beer, and it turns out the guy has a long criminal record. I think a 35 game suspension plus fines and anger management would be a much more productive solution.

hasnt Artest been to anger management before????
