The question is the answer. Just look at their rap sheets.
Merely a suggestion. However, while the cult of Thuggee may have died out in India, its latter-day successor is clearly alive and well right here.
Outrageous Salaries
Pampering
Surrounded by "Yes" people
Etc
Etc

I don't watch any of that crap in the first place thus they don't get any money from me.
Well, another question could be why do sport fans all over the world act like morons soon as they enter the stadium? As for the NBA incident I think Stern is totally wrong, the message he sent to all fans is this, "I is every GOOD fans duty, to throw objects, hurl obscenities and do whatever you can to provoke the rival team into fighting with you so they get suspended for the season."
The Indiana Pacers are now screwed for the whole season, they were going to be a contender for the championship this year and now they don't have a chance without Artest, O'Neill, and Jackson... So if your a true NBA fan remember your duty, wait for your rival team to come to your home court, get good seats and prepare to be a moron, and get into a fight.. because that is now your duty, as a fan...
I wonder if there aren't some upstanding fellows who are good at bball too? At what point are they driven out of the game by disgust with what the others get away with?
Men's pro bball has been unwatchable for years, the mere fact that they don't have to dribble any more, for a start.
It's a shame, it's a great game. Luckily it's a great game for women also, and always has been. At least the gals actually PLAY THE GAME.
What do you suppose is the percentage of NBA players who learned their etiquette on the playground in "the hood?" I think therein lies the problem.
Because they are?
Everyone knows the answer, but are afraid to say it.
Let's hear another chorus of "Kobe is the victim!"!
This is dangerous territory since most of these guys are minorities, and given college educations.
In a P.C. world, you cannot ridicule these people because they are the "underdog" of society.
They have received special treatment that a lot of Americans will never see because they can play Basketball.
Well, at least nobody pays them millions of dollars to act like morons. I personally haven't watched an NBA games since the millionaire morons began smashing backboards, hanging from hoops like apes, thumping their chests and behaving like bohemian teenagers on drugs.
It may very well be they were morons before they entered.
Rape is a privilege? We have a criminal 'aristocracy'?
Sympathy goes to the celebrity in this country. It is sick, but what the heck. It is the old addage of the gal was asking for it.
OJ the victim eh?
Rap Sheets. That could be the name OF a rapper. No relation to Carlton Sheets. Heck.. it's more interesting than Young Buck.
