cbs ^ | 4/23/12

Metta World Peace was subdued and contrite in the Los Angeles Lakers' locker room, apologizing to Oklahoma City's James Harden for throwing the elbow that sent them both to the locker room in the second quarter.

They both missed a beauty of a game that could echo into the postseason for two division leaders.

He didn’t even look at the guy he was hitting. Just whaled him with his elbow to the side of the head.

You just know that some idiot who decides to name himself “World Peace” is not going to be peaceful.

Anything short of a LIFETIME ban for Metta World Piece of $&*#@ will be a travesty.

He has a long record of violent and irrational behavior and has no business being in the league anymore.

Normally, I believe what happens on the court should be dealt with by the league, but in this case, I think Artest should be arrested for felony assault.

What drives me crazy is the Artest apologists who don’t think his prior record should be considered in this case. Sure, he started the worst brawl in NBA history, but that was 8 years ago, and “he’s tried so hard to be fix his image since then”.

What a bunch of bull! He has had other suspensions since 2004, and so what it if it was 8 years ago? The fact that he would commit such a vicious act of violence, 8 years later shows that he learned NOTHING and hasn’t changed one bit.

more like whirrled peas.

And in defense of the guy, the player that got hit did come into MWP's space and bump up against him. Naturally that invokes a gentle response in return.



does that really need a sarc tag?

Yeah, and he can't dance worth a lick either. Good thing he didn't last long enough on Dancing With The Stars to participate in the team dance competition.

I love Rush Limbaugh’s “Rappin’ the oldies with Ron Artest” parody.

Latrelle Sprewell. Last I heard, he turned down an $21 million contact because “He has to feed his family” and has been out of the league since. I believe he had some very bad financial problems. Hopefully, the same will become of MWPOS.

Big ditto. Rather watch a pickup game on the street than those ultraprivileged assclowns.

I saw this on ESPN last night and was like, "who the F$^& is Metta World Peace?" yes, the retards at ESPN only referred to Ron Artest as "Metta World Peace". The same Ron Artest who started a riot at a Detroit / Pacers game at Auburn Hills where he lunged into the stands.

Now he changed his name??? Wow can't believe the Bulls drafted him, I think Jerry Krause was still in charge though so atleast that makes some sense.

What Metta World Peace mans? I have no idea. Probably as illiterate as the "kill George Zimmerman" by the blacks on Twitter. And sorry if that sounds racist that is simply reality. Look at Drudge. They are all death threats and they are all tweeted by blacks speaking Euuuuubonics!

One genius posted that "He gots bail, dat means he ain't gonna eva get chargeded we gots to kills him..." not making this up...
