Giving a man a concussion can put a man in the hospital, which in my state is a FELANY! This thug brut needs to be made an example of. You cannot allow this to be approved in the eyes of the upcoming NBA player who already thinks "once I get in the NBA its going to be hard work, but the money is hot and I can do what I want". We have bred a society of childish millionaires. I may sound like an old fart, but its the way things are. Unless the commissioner of the NBA, David Stern, steps up and makes an example... we can set ourselves for more foolish random acts of violence from our NBA courts.
You don't hear of anything like this in the Ero league do you? Because if a Ero player threw an elbow like Ron Artest did, they'd be stoned in the town square. Hell, maybe their entire family - children too.
If Ron has gone on record saying he has a mental disorder, a bad child hood, why the hell didn't someone take his crazy screwed up ass and say "maybe the NBA is not a place to be until you have this under control 100%". We all know the game of basketball is physical and trying, why put an admitted unstable person in a high octane sport as the NBA. I'll answer my own question... because it makes money. The reaction to Ron's attack on James Hardin will prove one or two things: One being if one a game or two suspension is handed down the NBA doesn't care about ethics or your children, they care about what is going to draw people out of their homes and into arenas. If they set the example and pull his contract ending his NBA career, it says the NBA will no longer tolerate this kind of behavior from anyone at any time. Physical play is one thing, out right attacks unacceptable.
Don't let this drag out David Stern, get off your ass and make a statement and make it loud!
Let me address the ass-backwards fans that cheered his ass as he left the court after being ejected. What the f*** is wrong with you people? Really! You give him a standing ovation and cheer a man that just injured another maliciously? Don't give me that bull-ess that he didn't see Hardin, he sure as hell felt him touching his left side before he threw the elbow. Then wanted to get indignant when he was challenged on what he did. LA fans... is fine to be passionate about your home team (even though half of you don't even live in LA or any where near California - band wag-goners) but to condone an attack of another human being. James Hardin is not just a basketball player, he's a freaking human being! I don't care how passionate you are about what you do, you never cause harm to a fellow human being. Your mother should of taught you that when you were 3 years old. Hell, I passionate about my radio show as much as the next, but that doesn't give me a right to physically hurt my producer, co-host, or aids. Get over yourself LA fans that cheered, you just showed the world how shallow of a person you are. No wonder other countries laugh at us with the mouths wide open. "Oh look at the silly Americans, when they hurt each other they cheer and high five". There should have been a line outside the ticket office the next day demanding ticket money back because you went to see a basketball game not an MMA fight.
By the by, a blow to the back of the head is illegal in MMA dumb asses. And I know it wasn't all the fans that cheered, but the asshats that gave high fives and cheered are a full disgrace to this country.
Ron Artest, I hope your NBA career is over! Now I'll stand to applaud that decision. Come on commissioner, show us your balls now! (pardon the pun)
You can expect to hear about this on the next FatGuyRadioShow, Saturday April 28.
