Suspended in July for next season. This has to be a new record.

Good job by Stern here though.

You knew either Artest or Sheed would hold the record

Saw this one coming. They are lucky their cases were pushed back enought that it didn't effect the end of the season or playoffs. Missing the first 7 games of the season is nothing.

sheed wouldnt hold the record of getting suspended.......the only time he gets suspended when he gets enough techincal fouls

 

[Desides]

Exactly what were they suspended for?

I could see his temper getting him in trouble with some dumb drunk guy tho.

Jackson fired a gun in the air at a club and Artest had a altercation with his wife. Those are the very short stories of it

i dont think so. it hasnt helped yet. the only time i can think of a suspension, off the court is the ride home with damon stoudamire. back from a game with seattle

Stephen Jackson choking against Utah mattered to me more. That new Italian rookie can probably step in for a few games. Dude's got shot.

He is not a trouble maker just has a bad temper. Maybe its just in games

Maybe it is just on the court. He just shows alot of passion for the game
