J. O’Neal may play on Christmas
This post represents my personal opinion; sometimes it makes sense, often not. I reserve the right to edit/delete offensive comments, but I wouldn't mind a couple of politically incorrect statements here and there.
J. O’Neal may play on Christmas
December 23rd, 2004
I just had to come out of semi-hiatus to lend my support (however insignificant) to arbitrator Roger Kaplan’s decision to cut suspended Pacer Jermaine O’Neal’s suspension to fifteen (15) games, making him eligible for the Christmas day rematch between the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers.
In his 28-page decision, Kaplan upheld the suspensions slapped against Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and Anthony Johnson, but took into consideration O’Neal’s “character, community involvement and citizenship” while also deeming Stern’s punishment “excessive.”
“This should not be viewed as condoning what O’Neal did. He did punch a fan. The 15-game suspension is a significant penalty. The NBA cannot tolerate such conduct.”
Here’s hoping for the best
