NEW YORK -- Seattle forward Danny Fortson was suspended for two games by the NBA on Friday for yelling at a referee, throwing a chair and not leaving the court promptly following his ejection during a victory over Sacramento.

He was to miss Friday's game against Phoenix and Sunday's game against Dallas.

Fortson was ejected with 7:09 left in Thursday night's game. He skirmished with Chris Webber after fouling him hard, and both players were assessed technicals. It was Fortson's third ejection this season.

Is it just me, or does it look like he is wearing make up in that picture. For a second I thought I was looking at Cheryl Miller.

If I were defending Jerry Colangelo in the slander suit Fortson filed against him, I'd try like hell to get that video admitted into evidence.

Sonics are very deep so they should be able to recover. This means Nick Collison will get more minutes and he did a good job last night.

LOL. Did the writer not even see the play? It was anything but a hard foul. In fact, Forston was the one that fell down.

And, frdbtr, I was thinking the same thing. It looks like he's got some lipstick happening.

I don't like Forston much but Webber should have been ejected too. Forston was guarding Webber REAL close & Webber bent down & knocked Fortson over by hitting him in the groin with a head butt. After the double tech, Webber followed Forston and instigated the second episode.
Cry-baby Webber needs his mother and Forston definately needs an anger management course. He's lucky the suspension is only 2 games.

Be careful frdbtr, Cheryl Miller is a pretty woman and if Forston thinks you're calling him pretty, he's libal to hit you with a chair.

Wha....?!?!?!?

When did Cheryl Miller become pretty? Ugh....

Tyra Banks is pretty (read: friggen gorgeous), but Cheryl Miller is butt-ugly. She is Reggie Miller with hair....
