Last week in Los Angeles, watched by a packed crowd and worldwide viewing audience, Lakers’ Metta World Peace struck Oklahoma City Thunder’s James Harden in the head, resulting in a concussion and the super-sub’s abrupt departure from the game.
Fox News reported, “World Peace claimed the contact was an accidental, overzealous celebration of a dunk.” On-court officials ejected him from the game and the incident has resulted in the National Basketball League suspending World Peace for seven games ahead of the season play-offs.
