His arm brushes him pretty solidly on the way forward, before he cocks the elbow, doesn't it?

idk the stuff bynum does seems to be more intentional, although maybe not by much
― dayo, Sunday, 22 April 2012 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
that gif p clearly shows intent to hit someone. i like metta world artest but this is indefensible
― am0n, Sunday, 22 April 2012 23:52 (twelve years ago) link
He cocks his arm before he delivers the blow, for greater snap and impact. Absolutely it reads as intentional to me, but he does try to disguise it. Notice how he lifts his elbow in a mid-course correction to be sure it doesn't glance off harmlessly.

i voted 10+ games - with other commissioners taking hard lines recently, and given MWP's priors, i bet stern sends a message

10 games is a good number. I think it's what he'll get based on his prior history. I think 10 games is what Bynum should have received for the Barea hit, btw.

I can recall being a kid and sitting around on a summer afternoon with a bunch of boys from my neighborhood, dreaming up various ways we could amuse ourselves if we had an unlimited supply of firecrackers.
NBA players are just as likely to sit around dreaming up ways to get away with throwing elbows or grabbing jerseys, without getting caught. Metta just auditioned a new way to throw an elbow at a head, but he discovered he wasn't a good enough actor to pull it off.

6. Kevin McHale vs. Kurt RambisDuring Game 4 of the 1984 NBA finals, the Los Angeles Lakers' Kurt Rambis had a chance for a fast-break layup, with Boston's Gerald Henderson a step or two in front of him as he neared the basket. Rambis was clotheslined by the Celtics' Kevin McHale on the play, setting the tone for what became an extremely physical remainder of the finals. "Oh, look out," is how longtime Lakers announcer Chick Hearn described the play. The Celtics trailed in the series 2-1 at the time of the Rambis-McHale hit. They went on to win the title in seven games, starting with a victory in that pivotal Game 4.
didn't know that this gerald henderson is the father of the current gerald henderson!
