there might be more and I might have missed some stuff I came in on it after it had started but I believe this much is correct...

The fan Wallace that got charged is the brother to the player that originally had a dispute with Artest on the court. That wallace had a 5 game suspension I believe.

This whole debacle was disgusting.

this and the steroid case is a big low point for sports. These athletes are supposed to be role models to kids? They are sure doing a bad job of it if they are.

Their showing them how to not to be adults!
