As commish David Stern said, there is NO reason for players to go into the stands! Ron Artest knew what he was doing, and I think the Pacers were taking out their frustrations for losing the Eastern Conference Finals last year. He got hit in the chest with a cup, big freakin deal. That is NO reason to assault fans.
Ben Wallace overreacted to the foul, but he should have been ejected and suspended 1 - 5 games. But to be suspended indefinitely? Out of control fans and Artest, Jackson, and O'neal were out of line in this.
There needs to be swift and harsh punishment for ANYONE who goes into the stands. LET LAW ENFORCEMENT HANDLE THE FANS!
