You can say whatever, but I have the right to hate him as a player. I hate people that make the game look ugly and helpless (they can barely move around and they suck).
You certainly do have a right to hate him as a player, and believe his game is boring and ugly. It's your opinion, who can argue with it.
But I don't think it's very smart to say that he "sucks" The fact that he doesn't "suck" to me is indisputable. Boring? Sure. Ugly? Sure. Lacks talent? How can anyone say this, with so much evidence that he doesn't?
the bigger problem, in my opinion, is that there is nobody in the nba that will teach artest a lesson.. i mean, this guy does dirty shit all the time and gets away with it.
you think he'd get away with that if barkley/lambier/rodman etc were around?
that elbow was criminal, he could have inflicted much more damage if it had landed flush on his eye socket for example.
artest is a bum.
I agree, everyone seems scared of Metta World Peace (stupidest name ever). Even when Harden went down from the dirtiest elbow ever, his teammates didn't even really get up on his face. I know it's technically smart not to do anything cause of suspensions, playoffs around the corner, etc... But an elbow of that nature, your teammates should be up on his face right away, before the refs or other players can step in between to 'hold you back' so that you can start acting tough. Even Ibaka seemed hesitant.
Artest is a bum I agree, and I wish one day he snaps again and pulls this on... Ben Wallace. He's the only cat in the league not scared of him and also would whoop his ass. During Malice at the Palace, Ron actually looked scared when Ben Wallace shoved the shit out of him. Too bad Big Ben is the only guy in the league who's man enough to not take shit from him and is about to retire soon.
