Artest Regrets Charging Into Stands
Indiana Pacers player Ron Artest has admitted that he regrets charging into the stands, Local 4 reported.Artest said in a new People magazine article that he wishes the situation had not turned out the way it did."I hope some of the Detroit fans I was interacting with before the game could come to my defense," said Artest in the article. "You know, you've got fans. And 99.9 percent of them are great and 0.1 percent are jerks."The Indiana Pacer also commented on the brawl in a satellite interview from Indianapolis with Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today Show" in New York."It wasn't good at all for anybody," said Artest.Artest said this is the third incident in which he has been hit by something thrown by a fan at a game. He said fans can say anything, but they should not have thrown objects.When Lauer asked Artest if he believed he received the appropriate punishment for Friday's incident at The Palace of Auburn Hills, he said he respects NBA Commissioner David Stern's decision but does not believe he should have been suspended for the rest of the season.As for his future plans, Artest said he is working on a music CD and will "continue to do positive things."Artest's suspension is expected to cost him about $5 million in lost salary.Player | Games Suspended | Salary | Salary Lost |
