    If he had slam dunked on someone's head in a bar he'd be charge. Juvenile logic.

    We've become a world of pussies. The Pistons weep at our softness.

    Charges? banned for life? For Fuck sakes, suspend him and move on.

    Yeah and Jerry Sandusky has been nominated for all sorts of awards for his close warm and personal working relationships with disadvantaged youth.

    I don't think anyone on here arguing for charges or a lifetime ban has played in a church basketball league. You'll see a lot worse than what Artest did.

    Someone forgot to give Ron, er Metta, his meds.

    Why is this thug still allowed in the league? Not like this incident was his first.

    Did you say the same about Laimbeer? Or did the color of his skin not scare you?

    I might be wrong, but this would be his fifth time suspended by the league in the last nine years.

    Comparing Laimbeer and World Peace is like comparing an apple and an orange. They were different basketball players. Laim was an ahole on the court but not to the extent World Peace is.

    Then suspend him and spare me the hyperbole of how he should be banned forever.

    No World Peace shouldn't be banned forever. That's foolish talk. Yes, he deserves a suspension and a hefty fine but that's about it.

    Laimbeer was an asshole too (and still is), and should have been suspended many more times and much longer than he ever was. And yeah, his color was a huge reason he wasn't.

    Laimbeer also holds the NBA career record for the lowest ratio of fights started/instigated to fights actually finished. Customary move for the doughboy fatfuck was to punch somebody in the back of the head, then wait for Isiah Thomas or Mahorn to come bail him out. Nobody wanted to fuck with THOSE guys -- on the other hand there was a league full of players who were perfectly eager, willing and able to put Laimslug's lights out any time.
