What a frigen dirtbag. There is just no place for this, and no place for Ron Artest in the NBA. Change your name all you want, that thug-life piece of dirt will always be you. To make matters worse there's this:
Really guy? You can't just come clean like a man? Spare me the you didn't see him, didn't know he was there, didn't mean to hit him shit. It's all bullshit. You knew damn well what you were doing, I don't doubt you're sorry, sorry you got caught, and sorry for the results, but no sane human being thinks you didn't know what you were doing there. You may not have meant to hit him in the head, but you meant to hit him. Vicious elbows to the air aren't usually part of celebrations or King-Kong routines like you tried to claim to the ref. It's pure thuggery and that's it.
And honestly, I wish you would have squared off with Serge Ibaka, I'm fairly certain he'd have eaten your lunch. You may have a bit of a weight advantage, but this guys from Africa. I'm fairly certain he had to catch and kill lions for family dinner before being allowed to go out and play with his friends on the weekends as a kid. Your prancing and preening aren't intimidating him.
As for the suspension that is surely coming, I've read quite a bit that there's precedent in 1-3 games for elbows; A) I think Ron's past has to be taken into account, you don't just ignore the fact that he's been an asshole more or less for his whole career, and no, I don't care that he's been good for a couple of seasons, and B) He doesn't even get to think about playing again until James Harden can, and even then, I'd tack on the 2-3 games after that. If Ron Artest is allowed to step on the court before Harden does, then the league doesn't truly care about player safety, plain and simple.
