Is the 7 game suspension for Metta World Peace fair?
- Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, was suspended for 7 games due to his elbow of James Harden.
- James Harden received a concussion from the elbow and is listed as day-to-day.
- Metta World Peace has had a history of violent acts in the NBA.
- Most famously, Metta World Peace, when he was Ron Artest, had a fight in the stands with a fan.
- While I do not think he planned it, Metta World Peace’s elbow to James Harden’s head was clearly intentional.
- Metta World Peace’s elbow to James Harden’s head could have been career ending.
- I do not think that Metta World Peace is able to control his emotions.
- If the Lakers were to play the Oklahoma City Thunder, if James Harden is not playing, this would be a huge disadvantage for the Thunder.
- Even if the Lakers and Thunder don’t play, if the Thunder are eliminated because James Harden is not playing, that could be a huge advantage for the Lakers.
- Metta World Peace should have been suspended for the rest of the NBA playoffs this season.
- Also, Metta World Peace should be suspended for all regular season games next year against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
- Even if Metta World Peace is not able to control himself and the suggested suspension does not act as a deterrent to Metta World Peace, surely it would be a deterrent to others.
