    I thought 5-7 games would be enough based on the other suspensions the nba has given and based on artest's history.

    Okay, I never saw this one before. It may be the best one yet. I don't know if there are any meds that would help Ron. But if there are, he needs them force-fed to him. And he really, really should't be in any situation where emotions run high, or there might be any confrontation of any kind. C'mon... is it any wonder that this guy loses control on the court?

    Shaq just addressed that on NBA Game time tonight

    he ripped the living out of Artest too. It was the most entertaining show I've seen out of Shaq all season.

    Once I figured out that a lot of Shaq's comments were just showmanship, I actually started to like the guy. He was the P.T. Barnum of basketball, and he made a lot of money off the act. Doesn't mean I agree with him about everything, but he's usually got a pretty good take. And he was right about this one, for sure. He did take his suspensions like a man. It's hard to believe, but it really looks like Artest thinks his punishment was unfair.

    Well if this was maybe a one-time thing or whatever 7 games would still be lenient but it'd be more or less within reason. Artest was probably expecting less of a punishment in any case because he likely feels that Harden was either instigating things or that the "unintentional" aspect of his hit makes it somewhat justified (thank you Kobe for not helping matters).

    He needs to be out of the league though. Not to punish him but because he's clearly not right in the head. Although tbh I'm not even sure if the NBA can make a player retire due to a mental disability...

    Crazy-assed MWP. Not only did he refuse to try and make ameds with Harden (he says he "doesn't shake hands with subs utes"), but he also said that the whole thing was Harden's fault. He claims that Harden sensed the emotions, ran up behind him, and FLOPPED!

    That's right - Artest now sees himself as the victim.

    Are these guys liable if Artest seriously hurts someone again? If not then they should be.

    Next player's agent who gets hurt by him should sue

    All he said is he doesn't shake hand with subs utes which is true for every NBA starter.

    Actually he said that Harden flopped and suggested that he was the victim of Harden's gamesmanship.
