Get real!! Why are you even asking? You think your family is in trouble, you go help them. End of story. I am insulted that you even have to ask us what we think!!!

He's an idiot. I used to be a die-hard NBA fan, but the league has gotten so out of control that I watch no more than 10 painful minutes a year. The disrespect of the players who are emerging as stars has ruined the whole experience. They're just street thugs who wouldn't have a job otherwise! Others, like Larry Brown, who you'd expect to have a little more smarts, have no problem offering defense attorney style double-talk always justifying the increasingly bizarre and inappropriate actions of these athletes.

It's not like he did anything wrong. The man thought his wife was in trouble. What is he supposed to do, take 5 minutes to alert the proper authorities? He acted on instinct like anyone who loved someone else would. Sometimes the rules can be bent in special circumstances, this being one of them. All I know is that if Antonio Davis were to walk up to me, I would just be in awe of how ridiculously huge and built he was, and then I would gladly step out of his way so he could tend to his business.

While I realize that the NBA has strict rules and policies and such regarding certain acts and breaking certain rules, and justifibly so given what happened with the Pacers last year, the trend for more and more fights in the NBA, players being arrested, the Kobe thing years ago, after all, what they say is that these players are examples to young people, to kids who look up to them, etc., yes that all makes sense and I agree. What Davis did by jumping into the stands to look after his wife and family, regardless of the outcome, fines, job suspensions or whatever that may follow, in how I think it was an awesome example to young people of what is really important: family, No. 1 no matter what. Nice to see after so many stories of athlete's doing the opposite...Cheers to Davis and this is one time i think the NBA should both not suspend him and secretly be thankful.

I'd be more upset if somebody had done something to his wife and he did nothing. Absolutely nothing in our lives is more important than family. Nor should anything be more important. Actually it is a huge relief hearing about a sports athlete that cares about his family. Rather than a story about him cheating on his wife or something else ethically questionable.
--Roger Earl, Princeton, Fla.

The NBA should review security for players family and guests so that they don't have to worry about their safety. Antonio had no choice as if something did happen to his family and he didn't react he would have faced a media and, much worse, family/freinds assault on his character.

Don't compare this incident to the Detroit one. Davis thought his wife was in trouble and did what any husband should do. The media is looking for a story, the NBA is starting to turn the corner from a number of "ugly" problems over the last couple of seasons ( the melee in Detroit, Kobe trial, Shaq and Kobe feud) they don't need any black eyes heading into the All-Star weekend and break coming up.
