Metta World Peace goes Ron Artest

Yeah I was surprised no Thunder players didn't go after him but that is what has happened to the game. If Ibaka or Perkins had gone after him it would have escalated and they would have been suspended. With finals so close it was probably best they didn't. But i'm guessing it took all of their power to restrain from knocking him out!

Stupid act, was definitely intentional, if you're going to throw a elbow at least do it in the act of play! ;)

I'm guessing 10 weeks...

I love my Lakers but seriously, Ron Ron is loose. Just like Barry Hall he actually loses his shit when he's pumped up and has brain fades. When Barry Hall hit Ben Rutten he knew he shouldn't do it but couldn't stop and Artest is the same. He could see Harden in the slow mo replay, a quick glance left then boom brain fade.
Artest should get at least 5 games if not 10.

Here's my prediction:

Just like wrestling everyone loves a villain

Lakers beat Denver in first round 4-2

Artest misses the last game and 6 from first round

The NBA suspend Artest for 7 games and drumroll..........

1st game back is game 1 in Oklahoma City

Should be suspended for the playoffs, if not booted from the league! But they won't boot him so hopefully they'll suspend him for a year and then he'll be too old anyway. Goodbye and Good Riddance to a massive blight on our game!

That comment is gold Mutley! Artest gettin back to his roots as a no good brawler. Agree with most here, that was 100% deliberate from Artest and his attempts to lie his way out only make him look even worse.

That WAS just as bad as a punch to the head and Artest should absolutely miss the rest of this season and some of the next one too.

Anyone else wondering what Kobe thought the first time he saw this replayed? I'm thinking there were a whole lot of expletives followed by the words 'fire his ass'...

Call Artest what you want, he is a jerk off and should take up Ice Hocky with that kind of reaction!!

If that was in the AFL or the NRL it would be an all in brawl with several suspensions and maybe a few tens of thousands of dollars in fines, if it was the NBL it would be the season, if not more and probably an all in brawl, in the Euro League the crowd would have taken him out!

Thunder team mates were amazing, maybe in shock at what just happened, no way it was accidental in my opinion!

If it was an accident then why didn't he go straight up to Harden as soon as he realised he hit him? And then why did he size up Ibaka afterwards?

He's full of shit.

Yeah, first replay I saw I was of the same opinion - he was celebrating. But looking at it again, that elbow wasn't a 'celebration' - that was a push out of the way of Harden.

That is just nasty.
