violence in the NBA

[Brian221]

I posted this in another thread...but anyway.

If you're making millions of dollars playing a GAME for a living, you should take it seriously and be a PROFESSIONAL. If Artest had kept his head together, he could have pointed that fan out, have him ejected from the stadium and fined. By attacking whoever, he just made their day...they're probably going to be able to retire off the settlement they'll get. DAMN STUPID.

...then again, now artest has all the time he needs to release his album. :stupid:

I LOVE it when people who are STUPID BULLIES get what's coming to them.

and just think.. if i was there, and he stepped or accidently hit my sister or mom, or anybody i love.. not only would he be missing teeth.. but his neck would have been broken as well


THATS why you dont pull some stupid shit like that.. hurting people that arent meant to get hurt.. and anyone who disagrees, put yourself in that position.

WORD!

He's just a pussy ass BULLY! The guy who PHYSICALLY HIT HIM IN THE FACE he wants no part of...I'm guessin because Ben Wallace would've whupped his ass...but a little beer splashes in his face and he goes charging into the stands...passing larger people...to go after some little guy a good 30 or more feet away? Who's fukkin terrified? The guy never even tried to defend himself, he just curls into the fetal position and gets whupped.

And this guy must have some kinda aim too..to throw a cup (NOT A GLASS, HE GOT HIS "BELL RUNG" WITH A CUP) of beer over 30 feet and hit a guy lying on a table right in the head...beer still in the cup...at the same elevation...this guy must be a master of physics.

[Cozmo D]

I'm sorry, I have to correct myself. I just looked at the video again and that was well over 50 feet. :P

Yeah sdl, there are lots of stupid people out there.

Listen, I am thinking in terms of how he handled it.

Do you have a child? do you have someone you deeply love? Consider them in the crossfire of an asshole who gets mad cause some beer got thrown at him.

If it was up to me.. his ass would have lost his job permanently. If we cant trust these players whom get paid millions to keep their cool if a fan does some stupid shit like throw a CUP of beer at him, then he shouldnt have the right to play.

I also hope his ass gets sued for all he's worth.

doubt it

[justafan]

I also have to say that he is NOT A RAPPER. But he is a producer for Allures upcoming album. The difference between those two things is appreciable, especially to this crowd.

I would have taken that guy to the dirt too. He had NOTHING to do with the entire altercation. If you are man enough to throw sh8t at me you are man enough to face what come after PERIOD.
Don't start it unless you want it. Doesn't matter if it was a cup of holy water or a brick if you are throwin' with bad intentions, I'm throwin sum sh*t back!!!!!
I am with Ron, Steve and Jermaine on this one. If your teammates won't help you when you are down ( Or on top of a fan) WHO WILL?
Team is supposed to be family. For real. If any one of us were to get jumped, and another two or three of us were there, would you let that person get crowd whooped and Bully footed?
If so, remind me to NEVER hang with you. Sometimes ya gotta throw the rules out and throw a haymaker or 6
I feel ya Be! Fans DO pay your salary, but that doesn't give them the right to throw sh*t at you. If you don't like my play, write a letter to the commisioner.
(Sorry I am soooo late, I haven't been at school.)

Except he beat the wrong guy's ass!!! :bash:

If he's so indignant at being hit with a drink, why wasn't he so indignant at being hit with a fist?

Because he's a pussy ass punk ass BITCH!!! :fawkdance:

[justafan]

the only punk ass bitch in the incident is the fan that threw the cup.

[eternals layre]

the way i see it is the fans are customers. if i was to do that to one of my customers i would be fired. i take alot more shit that that and with alot less pay. FIRE HIM
Wanting to take a month off to promote a band. he dosent love the game he dont need to be playing.

well...let a muhh fukk throw water on me at a concert....it's gonna be some damn furniture movin too

:roll: :roll: [/b][/quote]
that could be a reality show...make be an interior decorator and see how he "redecorates" after you throw a beverage on him....he may even spackle some of your vertebrae....we could call the show...."about nothing..for the love of decorative design"


or ..the bliss hour...vibrations of beverage,unrestricted anger and projectile fotons!

[Cozmo D]

Well, I HAVE had things thrown at me at shows, and never felt myself smart enough to figure out who threw it, or stupid enough to go charging into the unknown. Of course, I would venture that those who would frequent our shows were a bit different clientele wise than those who would frequent PM Dawn's.

Let me ask this of those of you who approved of Artest's attack. Suppose the guy who's ass he was beating had reached into his pocket, grabbed his keys, and stabbed Artest in the eyes. Would you all have said it was such a great move then, or is it only a great move when an innocent guy gets his ass beat for no reason at all?

[Be]

FUNK THAT....i'm sick of the excuse that he makes million so some how he's suppose to just deal with it...if this game had been at the ruckuh that fan would 've left in a body bag....and to be honest with you even if he is an employee...since when are bosses allowed to curse out employees and throw beer at them....let the prosecuter throw the book at all of em

And Artest would be looking at murder charges, just as he SHOULD be looking at assault charges now.
