Sħãlïq™ Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 What should World Peace's punishment be? Inspired by:CHICAGO — Jim Barnett got clocked a few times in his six-team, 11-year NBA career, but never harder than when Milwaukee’s Bobby Dandridge intentionally nailed him in the temple with an elbow in a playoff game in the early 1970s. “That was the worst,” Barnett, now a broadcaster for the Golden State Warriors, said recently. “Because I was out. Jon McGlocklin was with the Bucks – I had played with him in San Diego – and I said, ‘Jon, I have no idea where I am.’ “He said, ‘I’ll just throw the ball to Oscar [Robertson] and Lucius Allen.’ And for, like, three possessions up and down the floor, he didn’t try to beat me or anything. Swear to God, in a playoff game.” Reminded about the incident, McGlocklin smiled and said, “I don’t think I was ever that nice.” But Barnett appreciated his sportsmanship – he was trying to keep what almost certainly was a concussion hidden from Warriors coach Al Attles – and felt even worse once his head cleared: “I started to feel OK and I hit a jump shot [against McGlocklin], and I felt badly about it.” We might hope that Metta World Peace and James Harden reminisce someday about the ugly, frightening incident Sunday that put Harden out of Oklahoma City’s lineup and left World Peace, the Lakers’ tightly wound forward, awaiting what is expected to be a significant suspension and possibly fine.Tie Suspension To Harden’s Recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChosenOne Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Why isn't two games a choice for the poll because if anything I think that's what its going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 No, you should not punish based on the result of injury. You should only punish based on the action itself. It's dumb now that the NHL factors in injuries to their suspensions. Suspend the act, and NOT the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
