again, artest is one of sportscenter's lead stories. understandable, but making a comparison of this recent incident to )and showing a clip of all) the suspensions and fines he accumulated 2yrs ago is ridiculous.
2yrs ago he was suspended and fined a shitload for hard fouls, temper tantrums, etc. last year he was, iirc, was not suspended once. this year artest is missing games because of a rap album. repeat- a rap album. nothing to do with giving the finger to the miami crowd or elbowing people in the face purposely.
now watch in tomorrow's game, artest gets a fine/suspension for a simple touch foul. why? because media like espn keep on mentioning artest is still the dirty player was 2yrs ago when he really isn't (true still a nut job). and of course it will headline sportscenter tomorrow too
