Theres alot more but I will name a fewRon Artest18/01/2003: Broke a $100,000 television camera. Threw a TV monitor at the cameraman filming him, then grabbed his camera and smashed it on the floor.

Suspended for 73 games, sentenced to a year's probation. 25/05/2002: Grabbed mother of his child around the throat. Charged with aggravated harassment. Sentenced to stress management classes. Numerous well documented on-court flare ups, flagrants, and shouting matches. Allen Iverson14/02/1993: Given a 15 year jail sentence for maiming someone with a chair at a bowling alley. Served 4 months before receiving a pardon, and a quashed conviction. Summer 1997: Convicted of carrying an unlicensed concealed weapon and marijuana possession after the car he was riding as a passanger in was stopped for speeding. In a plea bargain, pleaded no contest to the gun charge so that the drug charge would be dropped. Sentenced to 100 hours community service, 3 years probation and 2 years of drug testing. July 2002: Arrested and charged on 14 counts, including 12 felonies, after storming into his cousins apartment with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. All charges eventually dropped due to inconsistent prosecution testimonies. 2000/2001: Recorded a rap album containing violent and homophoic lyrics. Was instructed by David Stern to remove the offensive bits. Then decided not to release it. December 2005: Fined $10,000 for wearing his shorts too lowIs not keen on practice.

September 2001: Sentenced to a year in jail (all but 15 days of which were suspended) after pleading no contest to an attempted rape charge on his nanny. Allegedly, she came in to find Patterson standing naked, masturbating. He then forced her to give him head, and ejaculated within seconds. Only then did he let her leave. Allegedly. Also fined $100,000 by his team the Blazers, which seemed a little ironic since they'd just given him $35 million, even with this charge hanging over him. Additionally received 2 years probation, a $5,000 fine and had to pay the nanny. November 2002: Arrested for domestic assault by request of his wife. She then decided not to press charges. Gary PaytonApril 2003: Arrested for common assault and assault causing bodily harm after an altercation outside a nightclub. 09/09/2004: Arrested for DUI. Charged dropped due to Payton being so minimally over the limit. Was still cited for reversing down a motorway on-ramp. Jason RichardsonApril 2003: Arrested for domestic violence after pushing his ex-girlfriend into a wall. Was suspended for 3 games by the NBA and sentenced to a year's probation.Rasheed WallaceApril 1996: Arrested for assaulting his girlfriend and baby mother. Agreed to undergo domestic violence awareness things and do community service, along with 12 months probation, in a plea bargain. April 1996: Same woman, same charge. Not sure of what happened. November 2002: Ticketed for misdemeanour marijuana possession after the car he and Damon Stoudamire were travelling in was stopped for speeding. September 2003: Pulled over for erratic driving. Ticketed for that, driving without insurance, and for driving with a suspended license. January 2003: Suspended for 7 games for threatening and "accosting" a referee after a game. Whatever that entails. Assorted: Doesn't give the most mature interview in the world - fined on three occasions for his immature conduct in them. Also holds the single season record for most technical fouls in a season. Assorted: Likes to throw towels. On two occasions has been suspended for this. Once for hitting Arvydas Sabonis, and once for hitting a ref. With the towel, obviously. Jason KiddMay 1994: Pleaded no contest to a charge of hit and run. Sideswiped another car and left the scene. Fiend $1,000 and given two years probation. January 1995: Punched an autograph hunter in the face. Case dropped after the witness stopped giving evidence. February 2002: Arrested and pleaded guilty to a charge of domestic violence. As a part of his plea he agreed to go to anger management counselling, and stayed on for longer than the mandatory time, which must be worth something. The pair have since reconciled.
Um, so what does being suspended by the NBA for infractions of NBA rules have anything to do with being arrested?
January 2000: Sued for rape. Settled the case out of court. No charges were brought.Chauncy Billups..

LOL this is so damn funny Andrew DeClercq22/11/2001: Fined $5,000 for being too damn gangsta and wearing his shorts too low.
they get low sentences too easily cus they're nba players in my opinion, im not going to say too much more on this, but allen iverson, according to his sentence, should be in prison for another four yearsZach Randolph May 2002: Arrested for underage drinking. He had the equivalent of one pint when aged 20 and 329 days. What kind of crazy bastard is he?lmao
