If Ron Artest was such a danger, wouldn't he have hurt somebody in his long career before this? The guy isn't Raffi Torres (cheap shot artist in the NHL).

I don't understand what is so hard to get. He got 7 games based on his past history of violence. They do it the same way the other leagues do. If you are a repeat offender each time the punishment gets bigger.

KC Connection then last lost touch with reality. I can't believe only 7 games for the deliberate elbow assault. I mean end his season so he gets the hint that he is a dumb ****. I enjoy watching the Thunder, but the nba is turning into a joke for clowns like Artest. At least Goodell has the balls and has the morality to give a just punishment to nfl players and teams.

It's a fair point, but most of his "past history of violence" came a long time ago and at a far different stage of his career.

Second of all, I take it you haven't watched Ron Artest play throughout his career. He's a very different kind of player and person from what he once was (with the Bulls and Pacers, particularly). |

"I think he deserved more … maybe 10 games," TNT's Shaquille O'Neal said. "I don't like to talk about 'ifs,' but if (James) Harden would've turned to the left a little bit, we could've had a Rudy Tomjanovich situation on our hands.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm a connoisseur of throwing elbows; I used to throw elbows all the time. But for him to say he didn't do that on purpose? There is an old saying that goes around the locker room, 'The tape doesn't lie.' I've seen every angle, and it didn't look accidental to me." |

You take out the brawl suspension and Kobe and Artest have about the same number of games suspended. Shit Kobe was suspended twice in 07 for elbowing players and was in line for another after he elbowed Korver.
