    Mavs' Mbenga supended for fouling LeBronhttp://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2391763NEW YORK -- Dallas Mavericks center DJ Mbenga has been penalized for striking LeBron James in the head.The NBA on Friday suspended Mbenga one game without pay for the flagrant foul commited Wednesday. With 7:35 remaining in the Mavericks' 107-94 loss at Cleveland, Mbenga knocked James down with a hard foul. A flagrant-1 foul was called but upgraded by the league to a flagrant-2. Mbenga will serve his suspension Friday night against the Orlando Magic.i think he shouldnt get suspended. if it wasnt lebron james he fouled, he wouldnt get a suspension

    Wasn't it Dampier that did that foul and I don't think he deserved to get suspended on it. That is just a hard foul. It's not Dampier's fault Lebron gets up high so it's a long way down.

    Yeah, but LeBron was either getting a call or getting a layup, but LeBron is naturally a football player.
