Your Top 10 punishments for Camby

We asked you what alternative sentence you would apply to Knicks center Marcus Camby, who was suspended for five games and will lose about $345,000 for throwing a wild sucker punch at San Antonio's Danny Ferry. Many Knicks fans, naturally, thought the penalty too severe, citing the fact that Camby never landed his wild punch. Others said it was not severe enough. Here's some of your thoughts.

Users offer Top 10 alternative sentences for the Cambyman
10. He should not get fined or suspended. He is on my fantasy team.
-- Dan Tweten, Caledonia, Minn.
9. Marcus should be suspended for three games. During that time, he should be forced to listen to Shaq complain about why life isn't fair. He should also understand that any future outburst will mean he gets traded to the LA Clippers.
-- Michael, Beaverton, Ore.
8. Camby should be rewarded/given, a scheduled boxing match with Ferry. The match would last for 15 rounds or until one of them can't get up any more. OR – Sprewell, Camby and LJ could tag team Versus Ferry, Rose and AJ. Last team standing...
-- Sammy J., Idaho
7. Sit him alone in a room watching a 24 hour marathon of Nets-Wizards game tapes (and if that doesn't work, tell him he's been traded to the Bulls)
-- Mike Swartz, Birmingham, Ala.
6. I think that they should clone about 25 Jeff Van Gundys and then have Camby fight all of them at once in a televised pay-per-view event sponsored by Vince McMahon with special appearances by Dennis Rodman and the camera man that he booted in the unmentionables, PJ Brown and Charlie Ward, and Hacksaw Jim Dugan (no special significance there, he was just fun).
-- Bob Dustin, Syracuse, NY
5. Since we had a knock on the head and a poke in the eye, David Stern stands at MSG center court and hits Camby in the face with a pie.
-- Peter Young, Cambridge, Mass.
4.

He should do 100 hours at a clinic for head trauma related injuries. He needn't react in that sort of way, and someone could have gotten hurt worse than Van Gundy. Van Gundy will probably have a physical scar for life. It really does not seem fair. I would be fired from my job if I did something like this.
-- Paco Pacos

3. The Cambyman should be required to take a ride on Alonzo Mourning's leg while 'Zo boxes with LJ, AND he should have whatever his current ride is thrown 20 feet through the air by the team's plane. Finally he should be required to drive a '95 Honda Civic for a period of time not less than 6 months.
-- Forrest McKee, Seattle
2. Mr. Camby should watch his ESPN the Magazine Commercial 500 times - all in one sitting!
-- Judy Hubbard, Tucson, Ariz.
1. He should be forced to start his own league. The XBA.
-- Adam Gould, Eugene, Ore.
