NBA's P.J. Tucker Wants Harsher Punishment for Warriors Part-Owner Mark Stevens
NBA's P.J. Tucker Warriors' Mark Stevens Got Off Easy ... Demands Harsher Punishment
Houston Rockets player P.J. Tucker ain't happy with the NBA's 1-year ban against Golden State Warriors part-owner Mark Stevens ... telling TMZ Sports, "It should be more!"
As we previously reported ... in addition to the 1-year ban, Stevens was also fined $500,000 for pushing Toronto Raptors star Kyle Lowry during Game 3 of the NBA Finals after Lowry dove into the crowd trying to save a loose ball.

Lowry says Stevens also cussed at him several times during the interaction.
Tucker says the NBA's punishment feels very light -- and says everyone should be outraged by Stevens' conduct.
"Don't put your hands on people," Tucker says ... "There's nowhere in the game for that."
Tucker says he's not sure what the punishment SHOULD be ... but noted, "If a player put his hands on a fan, it would be a lot harsher."
"No telling what happens ... [that player would] probably never play again."
