LOL@the pussies who think this is worth a suspension. This is a mans sport, you bitches.http://www.youtube.com/v/QbcjL7AVxMA
I never said that I thought Bynum tried to hurt Wallace, all I said was it was a real dirty foul and that can't b debated.
The NBA decided Thursday to upgrade the flagrant foul called on Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum in Tuesday's loss to the Charlotte Bobcats to a flagrant foul 2.Bynum's hip check and elbow knocked Charlotte's Gerald Wallace to the floor and sent the Bobcats' leading scorer to an extended hospital stay for a collapsed left lung and broken rib.

How are they gonna eject him from a game that already happened? Or will he be suspended for the next game?
NBA won't suspend Bynum for elbowing WallaceNEW YORK (AFP) The National Basketball Association said Thursday that Lakers center Andrew Bynum won't be suspended for elbowing Charlotte's Gerald Wallace in a foul that landed the Bobcats forward in hospital.Wallace sustained a cracked rib and partially collapsed lung when Bynum elbowed him in the ribs as they collided in the fourth quarter of Charlotte's 117-110 double-overtime victory over Los Angeles on Tuesday.Bynum told the Los Angeles Daily News on Thursday that the contact was accidental."I didn't try to hurt him," Bynum said. "His momentum was great, and if you look at the play, once he hit me I kind of spun around because I didn't know he was coming that fast."Bynum's foul was upgraded from a Flagrant-1 to a more serious Flagrant-2 violation, but the NBA said he will face no further discipline.Charlotte coach Larry Brown said he agreed that Bynum didn't deserve to be suspended."That kid waited at our bus, trying to get to Gerald, and he apologized to me," Brown told the Charlotte Observer. "If he had a history of that (rough play), I might feel different, but I just think it was a hard foul."Wallace was still in hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday, and could miss several weeks."I don't expect him back anytime soon," Brown said.
