[Rios15]

The NBA announced today that J.R. Smith of the Denver Nuggets has been suspended without pay for seven games for pleading guilty to reckless driving, in violation of the law of the State of New Jersey, in connection with a 2007 accident resulting in the death of a passenger in Smith's car, and for prior and subsequent motor vehicle offenses.

Smith's suspension will commence with the first game of the 2009-10 NBA regular season for which he is eligible and physically able to play.

7 games seems fair for the loss of a human life.....

He should get more. A person's life is meant much more than 7 games.

This is so much bull<Censored> and yet Lebron James getting dunked on is more news worthy than this....... this is pathetic...... where are we in society today that this is unimportant. Where is the justice? You can get a lawyer and turn a DUI into reckless driving. He was probably drunk for all we know.

This man took away another persons life for God's sake.

Who gives a sh-t? He wasn't driving. Should have got at least half a season IMO. If not more.

Doesn't matter I believe. As long as the driver isn't drunk, anyone else in the car can be drunk.

Just goes to show you that the NBA is way sweeter than the NFL.
