It seemed like a classic Ron-Ron moment. He got caught in the moment and was way too hyped and didn't think clearly.
I know a lot of people hate MWP, but I don't think he is a bad dude. He is just straight up crazy.
Which is exactly why he should be banned.
Does he have to end someone's career with his craziness before Stern has had enough?
He has been suspended for over 100 games!
Ron Artest offers nothing to the league other than embarrassment. He has long ago become a hazard to fans and players.
This isn't basketball:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBx8LSwqRpE&feature=related (Artest vs Harpring. Embarrassing. Oh, and he throws elbows. Could have injured Harpring. Disrupts the game by holding onto the ball and taunting the crowd like some pro wrestler. The game gets completely out of control mostly because of Artest's taunting and inability to control emotions).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1LAO1lXCPY&feature=related (Artest makes no attempt at the ball and knocks over KG in the air. That's not basketball)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5fTDxDVLK0&feature=related (Makes no attempt at the ball and clotheslines Amare)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUMCNqhEXlE&feature=related (Makes no attempt to get the rebound, just comes in and smashes Gerald Wallace in the back. Even the announcers say that Artest was trying to provoke a fight. That's not basketball)

How many more times does this moron need to lose his mind before we can finally kick him out? The league loses NOTHING by kicking him out. He can't score, he can't shoot, his defense is overrated, and he is a complete embarrassment and hazard to players and fans.
If Stern won't end his career, I hope that someone else does. Hopefully next time Ibaka will get a few good shots in. Ibaka is a friggin badass.
