The NBA actively promoted the thug image. Look at their advertisements from a few years ago (post-Jordon, when they were in a panic.) From what I have read, even they think they took it too far, and over the last couple of years have taken a different tack in their advertising. The turning point was the Artest rampage in the stands.
