| His name is Metta World Peace. This is no player named Ron Artest. Reply Back to Top |
| Technically speaking he has to list Ron Artest as an alias so he can still technically be named Ron Artest. Reply Back to Top |

| I think him not even looking at Harden may help his case a little. Reply Back to Top |
| What the frick is wrong with him, though? He could feel Harden was there. Who celebrates like that anyways? Throwing a monster elbow.. Reply Back to Top |
| He's got mental issues. Reply Back to Top |
| 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. Reply Back to Top |

| He is a POS for sure. Reply Back to Top |
| 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". Reply Back to Top |
| Just watched the malice in the Palace again. So frickin crazy Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hg on 4/22 at 11:34 pm to wildtigercat93 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. Reply Back to Top |
| Artest is a douchebag. Reply Back to Top |
| Uhhhhh, no Reply Back to Top |
| 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.) This post was edited on 4/23 at 6:36 am Reply Back to Top |
Posted by M Le Rip on 4/23 at 6:50 am to NawlinsTiger9 quote: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. quote:+1 And I agree. Commissioner Rip says 10 games, brother. Reply Back to Top Refresh |
