NBA strikes back at Nuggets and Knicks for brawl

When you're making as much money as professional basketball players make, what the fuck could you possibly get angry enough about to fight over?

Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony has been suspended 15 games for his primary role in Saturday's ugly brawl with the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Just for the record, had I done what Anthony did, if you've seen the footage, I'd be in prison.

Commissioner David Stern suspended six other players and levied a fine of $500,000 against each team.

Shame that's mainly pocketchange to most of them.

'The NBA and its players represent a game of extraordinary skill, athleticism and grace, and, for good or bad, set an example for the entire basketball world, on and off the court,' Stern said in a statement.

Remember kids, basketball is a team sport that involves friendly competition. Don't do what the pro's do, do as the players trying to make the pros do.
