you can take the kid out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the kid. Just because these guys have money doesn't change their upbringing. If Dikembe mutombo put a hard foul on Tim Duncan, I dont think we would have seen an Arena clearing brawl. Yes, these guys should "mature" and behave better, but a lot of these guys could probably benefit from some sort of professional help.

Artest is obviously a bit crazy. Ben Wallace is a bad mothershutyourmouth and I wouldn't [censored] with him but artest did. Sometimes the attitude is what makes these guys so great on the court but it gets them into trouble off the court. The fans think they are untouchable because they are up in the seats but sometimes you need something like this to happen to bring people back down to earth
