Wow, where do I start with this one people. The man they call Metta World Peace a.k.a. Ron Artest gave a dangerous elbow to the head of OKC James Harden in April. Harden completely stunned by the hit suffered a concussion. I didn’t want to talk about this right away because I just wanted things to cool down after all the media attention that it received. Well here it is people! Let’s go in. I really want to talk about his name which is Metta World Peace. First off, we all were confused why he would change his name to that. After the change, we tried to get use to this World Peace name, but it just didn’t sit right calling him that. Well he definitely proved us right, going back to the violence that he is known for. We all know he has a checkered past. This is the same guy that drank Hennessy in the locker room in games while a rookie on the Chicago Bulls. Lastly, how can we forget the 2004 brawl in Auburn Hills, Michigan when the Indiana Pacers played the Detroit Pistons? He has really made a name for his self literally. We want to see Ron Artest overcome his negative past, but the league really needs to help him with the mental illness that he is facing so these situations won’t keep occurring. I know he is seeing a psychiatrist for the past several years, but is he really taking his medication. I’m not going at Ron as it might seem, but I see this happening again and maybe even worse next time. Through the years he has been on his best behavior and kept his nose clean. Artest is someone you feel bad for and want to see him do well. When the Lakers won the title in 2010, I was the first one that clapped for Artest, even though I’m not a Lakers fan. Overall, he should change his name back to Ron Artest and find his true identity. Get rid of this Metta World Peace nonsense. Ron, you aren’t peaceful! The elbow you threw could have killed the guy. What a damn joke.
