I know a couple people disasgree with the idea, and we can just agree to disagree. However, I just don't feel this was all handled correctly.
Ron Artest wasn't right, but he certainly wasn't wrong. Artest fouled Wallace, and there was nothing hard about that. Wallace was so out of line for even pushing Artest. Wallace continued trying to get at Artest, as he avoided confrontation. If Wallace never does anything, the fan would have never felt he had to throw anything.
Jermaine O'Neal is not even close to being wrong. The fan was on the court. If you're on the court, you deserve to get the s*** beaten out of you. That's not your spot. O'Neal had every right to go after the fan on the court, because there's no questions that the fan had nothing but bad intentions by being on the court.
I would love to see Artest and O'Neal voted into the All-Star game to spite David Stern.
I created a group of the idea of voting Artest into the ASG on the facebook last night, and it's awesome. It's blown up fast. It already has 25 members, 1 being Ron Artest's brother, who goes to IU.
