Any man would have. This league gave him a raw deal, and his stock went up in my book. Not an Artest manuever.
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

The situation is slightly more complicated than it looks. I know a thing or two about Kendra Davis, being Antonio was a Raptor for about 5 years.
As was originally reported, the man was not drunk. And by his account, which I have a feeling just might be true, it was Kendra "Mrs. Christie" Davis would verbally attacked him for yelling "no foul". Apparently she came after him and tried scratching his face. He also claims that he himself tried getting a security guard on HER.
I'm sure Antonio knew full well that his wife wasn't in danger, but likely it was the other guy that needed saving.
5 games is fine. You shouldn't go into the stands, even if your wife is crazy.

I still think Davis did the right thing. Regardless of who was at fault, if you see someone hassling a family member, you have to make sure they're all right, and worry about who was at fault later. Keep in mind, Davis didn't bumrush the stands, punch anyone, or waste tasty beverages. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the clusterfuck at the Palace, I don't think this would be much of a story.
OK. If you have a wife. There is no way you could say that you would not get up in some dude's face IMMEDIATELY if you even thought there might be some possibility that she was being threatened.
so he had a uniform on. tough shiz for him. but he did the natural thing.
I am sure the league is worried about people leaving the court so they will do what they have to do, which is understandable.
He is also a gazillionaire so it is not like it is that big a deal.

Mindia is seriously the greatest troll that has ever lived.
He still shouldn't go into the stands.
If you know your wife is crazy get her a nice HD TV with your Glen Grunwald millions to watch the games, problem solved.
If you really think Davis is the bastion of righteousness why did he lie to reporters afterwards about the state of intoxication of the offender?
Shitty situation, shitty wife, 5 games is fine.

I think he had to go into the stands, particularly if he honestly believed the man was intoxicated. From the court, I doubt he had any idea how the situation started, but just saw an altercation between his wife and some guy.
I do think five games is fine. I believe Davis did the right thing, but that doesn't absolve him from the consequences of his actions.

You'd think he was used to seeing his wife get into altercations with people since he's been married to her for some time now.

Watch the video
the wife was the one clearly freaking out on the dude, and you can see the dude calling for security

That's not the issue. What matters is what Davis saw at the time. He didn't have the benefit of replay footage, and there's no reason to believe he was focused on his wife, just on the offchance that something might arise, instead of on the basketball game he was involved in.

again, watch the video before talking out of your ass
And I don't mean the cross court shot showing Davis up in the stands
The one showing the wife freaking out ont he dude who was just sitting there, and him calling for security and THEN davis charging in
He had no business in the stands
I don't feel for her one bit. A woman like that has probably shit on countless men for daring to look her way. I'm sure she has all the depth of a mud puddle and the IQ of a sorority girl. However, I STILL would have done the same thing. And, I don't think he should be punished in any way.
It's not like he reacted to someone throwing a beer cup at him, or shouted names at him. I don't doubt that he honestly thought someone was attempting to cause harm to his wife - I see no reason why he should be benched for ANY number of games for doing the right thing.

Seriously, Tikker, pay attention. DAVIS DIDN'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE VIDEO REPLAY. Is that clear enough? He can't be expect to act, or not act on the basis of evidence he didn't have.
