Nope, doesn't look bad at all


Great twitter quote from him though:

"I just watched the replay again..... Oooo.. My celebration of the dunk really was too much... Didn't even see James ..... Omg... Looks bad"

His name is Metta World Peace. This is no player named Ron Artest.

Technically speaking he has to list Ron Artest as an alias so he can still technically be named Ron Artest.

When you do something like that it could honestly be tried as an assault. That has nothing to do with the game at all. That wasn't a hard foul during a play


this. he wanted to hurt the dude. he should be suspended the rest of the year. you can't attempt to hit somebody with all your might like that and expect to keep playing. on the streets that's assault.

I think him not even looking at Harden may help his case a little.

What the frick is wrong with him, though? He could feel Harden was there.

Who celebrates like that anyways? Throwing a monster elbow..

He's got mental issues.

Agreed, although I don't know if it'll help him. He knew someone was there (Harden intentionally brushed up on him; it's not like Artest went looking for Harden), but you can't elbow someone in the head like that.

Isn't it a privilege to play in the NBA, not a right?
This guy is getting paid millions to play this game.
If you think about it, this one elbow did more damage than the Saints so-called "bounty system".

Lol so I only got to see where he elbowed him earlier and that was bad, but then the retard tried to square up and throw hands with another player? Get his bitch arse out of here.

NBA suspension scale:

Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw: Leaving the bench to go check on Steve Nash after a Robert Horry cheap shot - 1 game

Robert Horry: The aforementioned cheap shot - 2 games

Jason Smith: Running into Blake Griffin - 2 games

Andrew Bynum: Fouling the absolute shite out of J.J. Barea - 4 games (originally 5)


I think we can all agree that what Artest did was far worse than any of the above. Harden got a concussion from a non-basketball play. It was an intentional and forceful blow to the head of an unsuspecting and defenseless player.

I say 10 games. It will probably be less, but it shouldn't be.


ETA: (And for me, this is before even considering Artest's history. This one incident speaks volumes by itself.)

Not sure if noting it makes a difference, but each of these fouls was delivered on the person who had the ball, and contact was warranted (Spurs were fouling the Suns for clock management; Barea was driving to the hoop). The offenders were suspended for excessive, deliberate contact. In World Peace's case here, Harden didn't have the ball, and OKC hadn't even in-bounded the ball yet.

+1

And I agree. Commissioner Rip says 10 games, brother.
