Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, was suspended for elbowing Thunder guard James Harden after an intense dunk. World Peace has been penalized for 7 games for the incident, but many people believe this isn't enough. Personally I believe he should have been suspended until the the first round of the playoffs was over, and fined. The reason the punishment wasnt heftier was because the attack couldnt be proved as intentional. It seemed as though he felt contact from Harden, not knowing who it was, and attempted to get them off. Artest had been suspended nine times before, totaling 102 games missed. It's easy to see why he decided to change his name, but it doesnt seem like he's changed that much at all. Hopefully this isn't the last ridiculous thing I get to see Mr. World Peace do, and I can't wait for him to be back and potentially change the course of the playoffs. This is Marshall "Dope Swag" Davis signing off, and I hope you enjoyed this telecast.
