Metta World Peace should change his name or add two words, the first of which would be "of", to the end.
The elbow he threw at Oklahoma City's James Harden was UFC quality, and knocked Harden to the court. He was down for a minute late in the first half, and did not play again.
World Peace claims the elbow was inadvertant, the culmination of a celebration, and he looked surprised when Oklahoma City players came charging at him. But how could the elbow have accidental or incidental? Even though celebrating in front of everybody is important to so many, isn't an athlete obligated to exert some control over his body parts?
World Peace has to be suspended, and the suspension has to include playoff games.
Harden is the best third wheel in basketball. As good as Oklahoma City is, Kevin Durant is primarily a shooter (a great shooter) and while an amazing athlete Russell Westbrook is a shoot-first (and second) point guard.
Harden is the smart, savvy and unselfish talent that keeps that team together, which can be difficult with your head bashed in.
the hit was an accident, watch it.
Cam Newton will prob tell OKC that the lakers have a bounty system.

This letting a guy change his name to something ridicuous sets a bad precedent for professional sports. Starting with Ochocinco and now this clown, both questionable character athletes.
XFL's lasting legacy is this crap. Or does the credit go back further to Prince becoming he Artist Formerly Known as...?
If you want to go to your real dad's name or mom's maiden name that's cool, but otherwise just say no commissioners!

Slim, get new glasses... he claims he didn't know Harden was there, but the replay shows he was in contact with him before the elbow flew so while the elbow clearly can fly, the excuse doesn't!
Oh, and bringing Cam Newton into your post about something that happened in the NBA makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever unless you just can't pass up any chance to bash Cam!

I saw that game live. At first, it seemed like an accidental collision under the basket, but when the close-up replay was shown, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Artest has a new all-time low with this (sorry not calling him "World Peace" anymore after this stunt...maybe World's Biggest Piece of Sh-t?). Artest knew Harden's head was there, & threw his behemoth elbow as hard as he could right at it. Harden will miss multiple games & is lucky it was hit near the back of the head & not the side; that could have ended his career & even his life.
Considering his track record, if Artest is not suspended the entire rest of the season (including playoffs obviously since the Lakers have only one more reg. season game), it's obvious that NBA cares more about it's glamour teams than stopping thug behavior on the court.
And @John, please don't feed the trolls. The sooner we ignore these Newton-obsessed idiots, the sooner they will get bored & go away.

Eczema is caused by a lack of Vitamin E and dry skin. Avoid pool water. Always miztsurioe. My index finger has eczema too. I used to have it inside my elbows and other fingers. But they are all gone. Use steroid creams (prescribed by your doctor of course). Try shea butter for your skin. Use lotion with oatmeal. Use Ucerin cream for your hands. Do not let them stay dry. Eczema usually show up in joints (inside elbows and knees) and palm of hands (mostly fingers) and maybe feet. Use Aveeno cream (it has oatmeal formula). Hope this helps. It is not curable (Im mad about that). It's usually seasonal (usually summer for me). Might be winter for you. It's treatable by using the steps above. Good luck!
