Remember that the NBA commissioner can hand down all the penalties he wants, but the players' union will be fighting any and all punishment. The lawyers are no doubt already preparing their defenses. I couldn't tell for sure, but it seemed that the hostile fans were all or mostly all white. Maybe Jesse Jackson will get involved to prevent any "injustice." Those suspensions may not be served fully or anywhere near fully.
What actual penalty did Roberto Alomar suffer for spitting on that umpire in 1996?
