Following the fallout from his tweeting during game 1, Kobe Bryant has vowed not to tweet anymore during the playoffs because it became a distraction. It will be interesting to see if Kobe is still as cool with Mike D’Antoni after coach called him a fan. Kobe won’t forget that and I’m sure we haven’t [...]
Pretty much everything we know about the Los Angeles Lakers’ Metta World Peace defies sheer logic, so it should come as no surprise that he’s planning on returning to the court soon. Really soon. Like now. Okay, it’s still surprising. Per Sam Amick of USA Today,World Peace plans to suit up and ultimately play in [...]

He can change his name and his zip code, but he’s still Ron Artest. Over the weekend, Metta World Peace and his Lakers were in Detroit taking on the Pistons. During the game, Metta connected with Brandon Knight on what appeared to be a punch. In Detroit, he’s still throwing punches. The NBA has suspended [...]
Lakers forward Metta World Peace has a practical joke show in the works. Metta’s ‘Artest Media Group’ is partnering with ‘LMNO Productions’ to come up with “a new prank series featuring professional athletes in hidden camera bits.” This hardly comes as a surprise. The, shall we say vibrant, Laker has been seen as one of the [...]
This wasn’t supposed to be happening. Especially not to this “dream” Lakers team. They’ve had more drama in less than a half of a season than most teams do in a few years. To add to the drama, Metta World Peace has made a bold statement. Metta being Metta. A reporter then pointed out that [...]
After Carmelo Anthony took a beating from battling Metta World Peace on Christmas Day, the Knicks decided to sit their star scorer for last night’s contest against the Phoenix Suns.

And no, the answer isn’t Ron Artest Metta World Peace…
September 18, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors For the Lakers’ sake, I hope they don’t prove to just be “paper champs.” While everyone contests that their roster is very impressive on paper, they still must go out and perform which they undoubtedly will. But is their too much pressure on them. Are they doing it [...]
August 16, 2012 – Allen Moll When a storied franchise like the Los Angeles Lakers fail to be in the mix for winning an NBA crown for two straight seasons, there’s plenty of blame to go around. While several current and past players on the roster all deserve some of of the blame for coming [...]
July 10, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors In typical Ron Artest Metta World Peace fashion, he took to twitter late last night to post a picture of an outing he had in Vancouver, in which he met a very old Canadian couple. Metta is in Canada working on a network movie with Jennie Garth in [...]
June 18, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors It seems that Metta World Peace isn’t done dealing blows to OKC’s James Harden. However this time he’s delivering them via Twitter.

June 5, 2012 – Allen Moll Surely everyone’s heard the sayings “don’t throw stones in a glass house” or “isn’t that like the pot calling the kettle black” when it comes to all things ironic? Well, it’s also very ironic to see arguably the NBA’s most mental player Metta World Peace in a PSA commercial [...]
May 22, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Metta World Peace’s rough play against OKC continued last night in what turned out to be the final game of the season for the Lakers. But of course, MWP wasn’t singling out OKC because he does this to everyone. But after the Harden elbow, you’d think he’d take [...]
May 15, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors On the night where Thunder’s James Harden was presented with the 6th Man of the Year award to an adoring crowd, is it a surprise they weren’t pleased to see Metta World Peace Ron Artest? They aren’t going to be quick to forget ‘elbowgate’…

April 24, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Since the moment Metta World Peace elbowed James Harden in the head after celebrating a bucket we knew that a suspension was forthcoming. The buzz and anticipation about how hard the NBA would come down on MWP given his history of suspensions, most notably the Malace at the [...]
April 22, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors I think we all know that when Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace, the day would come where we had to publish a headline with “World Peace” coupled with a violent word like “Elbowing” or “Punching”. Well that day is here, as Metta was ejected [...]
