Is this fucking idiot still alive?

DId this dude get his feelings hurt? Did Davis's wife casue brusing on his little chest. Grow a set of balls please. If you're gonna sue, sue over something mportnat or over some real personal loss. Suing becasue your feelings are hurt wastes everyones time.
This is not about who is right or wrong - I personally don;t care who's right or wrong amd I never said that anyone was in the right or wrong.. This is about an unforntinate incident that does not warrant a lawsuit, unless you are just trying to take advantage of someone else's celebrity status and earnings to get some dollars into yuor own pocket.

Read the back of a ticket stub, I'm sure it says they have the right to kick out whoever they want, whenever they want..

the lawsuit is bullshit. the suspension, even though it may be unfair because he thought his family was in some kind of danger, is needed. the NBA has to make it clear that you can not enter the stands no matter what.

Kobe's 81 points sink Raptors
Laker's total second-highest in NBA history
'I couldn't even dream of this when I was a kid,' he says
Jan. 23, 2006. 06:27 AM
LOS ANGELES—Jack Nicholson was a no-show. Denzel Washington was otherwise occupied.
The A-list celebrities that normally occupy the billion-dollar seats in the front row of the Staples Center took a pass on watching their beloved Lakers play the Raptors last night. They'll regret it for a very long time as they missed one of the most amazing shows in NBA history by Kobe Bryant.
Bryant notched 81 points, the second-highest total in NBA history, on a night when he led his Lakers to a 122-104 win over the hapless Raptors. The only man to go higher on the charts was Wilt Chamberlain, who managed 100 back in 1962. Chamberlain's 78 points in a game the year before that was the second-highest mark in the NBA until last night.
"It really hasn't set in," Bryant said. "To sit here and say I grasp what happened tonight, I'd be lying.''
Bryant has performed this high-wire act more than a few times, but not quite like last night.
He had 62 points against Dallas in three quarters of play earlier this season, but this was a night when he scored more points than anyone in the history of one of the most storied franchises in the NBA. Elgin Baylor never got more points. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar never got more. Rival Shaquille O'Neal — and you know Bryant has to love this — never got more during his reign in purple and gold.
Baylor held the Lakers record prior to last night with 71.
"I couldn't even dream of this when I was a kid; it's a blessing from God to be able to play this game," Bryant said after accepting a hug and a high-five from coach Phil Jackson, who once called Bryant "uncoachable."
Bryant finished shooting 28 of 46 from the field. He also made 18 of 20 free throws on a magical night that had even seasoned NBA watchers shaking their heads in wonder. He left the game with about four seconds to go to an ovation that registered, oh, let's say 8.1 on the Richter scale.
"I'm kind of lost for words," teammate Lamar Odom said. "It was a pleasure just to watch him out here."
It's the fourth time this year that the 27-year-old Bryant has posted more than a half-century worth of scoring. His 62 points in three quarters against the Mavericks on Dec. 20 was a career high at the time.
The Raptors were seemingly in control of this one, holding a 14-point lead at the half and silencing a stunned Lakers crowd. But as Kobe got fired up in the third quarter, the Raptors went the opposite direction on the thermometer.
With the crowd chanting "Kobe, Kobe, Kobe," and "MVP, MVP, MVP," Bryant lit up the Raptors for 27 points in the third alone. Toronto held an 18-point lead early in the quarter, but the Lakers outscored them 38-14 to finish the period and then cruised to a win as the Raptors stood and watched.
With the loss, the Raptors dropped to 1-3 on their road trip, which ends with a game tonight against the Nuggets in Denver.
"I thought my guys were there," said Raptors coach Sam Mitchell, who threw defences at Bryant that he hadn't tried since he was in college. "Without a doubt he's a great player and the thing that's most amazing is he's relentless. On that offensive end and defence he just doesn't take plays off."
Mitchell's players weren't as forgiving.
"He started taking all the shots and we stood looking at him like we didn't know what to do," sniffed Chris Bosh. "We have to know who we're playing. That's unacceptable."
Asked if he'll frame his stats sheet, Bryant laughed.
"I'll leave that to my wife," he said. "I don't know about that stuff. Maybe I'll look back at it one day when I have a pot belly and be happy she did it."
