Metta World Peace Slams James Harden On Twitter After NBA Game 3 Foul
Metta World Peace has a hard time living up to his new name, especially when it comes to dissing Thunder forward James Harden.
Last time World Peace (formerly known as Ron Artest) was given a seven-game suspension for blasting Harden in the head with his elbow, but it seems that suspension has done little to deter him from trashing Harden, at least on Twitter, according to
The Washington Post.
Sunday’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals saw Harden’s continued issues, failing to score in the double digits. With his team down by three points at 16 seconds left in the game, Harden was called for a blocking foul after he got in the way of LeBron James roughly 30 feet away from the basket, according to Yahoo News.
Ultimately, the Thunder saw a loss to the Miami heat by 91-85. Immediately after the play, Metta World Peace tweeted, “No brain All beard,” a referral to the bad play and Harden’s noticeable facial hair.
The Huffington Post reports that soon after the comment, World Peace predicted that Harden will make a big shot later on in the series. He tweeted soon after, “Harden will hit a big shot right now Watch out.“
Looking back on his own plays, however, The L.A. Lakers player has no room to talk, especially his play against the New Orleans Hornets, which was almost the Lakers’ undoing. The horrific inbound pass caused the announcer to note that it was the worst play he ever saw in basketball.
Yahoo News points out, however, that Metta World Peace is complicated, and can go from a heckler who disses other players to someone worthy of the league’s citizenship award in a matter of minutes.

Said the idiot psychopath WATCHING the playoffs from his couch.

Took the words right out my mouth Ms. Toni…

Toni you are right. Mr. World Peace got knocked out of the playoffs by Mr. Harden.

"Looking back on his own plays, however, The L.A. Lakers player has no room to talk…" Well – he does have a ring, two selections to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team, 2 more selections to the NBA's All-Defense Second Team, and a selection as NBA Defensive Player of the Year. He might know a little about how to play defense. Don't confuse his lack of stability with being unqualified to point out bad defense when he sees it.

This guy is a complete idiot!

Who cares what he has to say, if he were a movie he would be on the bottom 100 on imdb.com based just on his IQ and attitude. He makes me think of the people who shop at Walmart.

The dude is a total moron but it doesn't mean he can't speak about what he knows and he plays pro ball. Harden is a moron too. He doesn't play smart. He draws too many charges, takes ugly shots, and commits dumb fouls. I want OKC to win, but harden isn't helping with his Game 3 performance.

Big of you, Tyler. Criticizing a fool of an athlete by dissing people who shop at Walmart? generalizing much, aren't we. please do be careful, kind sir.

Paige Stewart, I do believe that Peace and Harden were merely contributing factors to their respective teams. Neither one was solely instrumental in the results of that series.
Jun 19, 2012
You are correct so let me rephrase, Jon Join Fasa Fuller. Collectively the OKC Thunder defeated the L.A. Lakers. That is why Mr. World Peace, who plays for the Lakers' franchise, is at home observing the NBA finals and not participating in it. Is that better for you?
Jun 19, 2012
Well said Paige!
Jun 19, 2012
Oh i'm sorry are you offended?

You realize your piece of shit self didn't even make it to the finals right…the THUNDER STOMPED your team into the ground, yall only won ONE game, sit down in your anger management rehab chair and take your happy pills.
