Flagrant foul (penalty 1) is not considered unsportsmanlike.
Thanks for the summary. Didn't Artest have a flagrant foul at 8:13 left? I'm confused.
Maybe he did, Denny. But look at Drake's summary again. It takes two Flagrant (type 1) fouls to be disqualified. Flagrant in NBA is not the same as Flagrant in HS/NCAA. In NBA, "flagrant" basically means "excessive". It's more like what we would call intentional. But if you get two of them in the NBA, you're tossed. Also, they're not unsportsmanlike, so if you have a T and a flagrant (type 1), you're not ejected.

Hope that helps a little.

Ah, the light bulb came on, thanks!
