Metta World Peace calls James Harden 'No Brain All Beard' in tweet

Found June 18, 2012 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: James Harden
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder,  Los Angeles Lakers

Via NESN:

Prudence is not one of Metta World Peace's virtues.

Just weeks after the Los Angeles Lakers forward put an elbow against Oklahoma City Thunder forward James Harden's head that could have caused serious damage, World Peace is taunting his former victim.

This time, he's doing it over Twitter -- as Harden plays in the NBA Finals after the Thunder eliminated World Peace's Lakers.

"No brain all beard," World Peace tweeted Sunday night after disapproving of Harden's play during Game 3.

But World Peace, who has also shown great ability in backtracking after he realizes he's said too much, was quick to compliment the Sixth Man of the Year a few plays later.

"Harden will hit a big shot right now," World Peace tweeted. "Watch out."

All brain, no beard? How about all talk, no Finals?

  • Whose still playing??? I doubt thats what you call "playing" and as for the rest of the my argument Lakers 16 rings(that means we have won the TITLE 16 times) okc 0 (that means they have NO RINGS which translates to zero rings) win ONE then maybe you can TRY to create an argument BUT until then sit back and watch as they struggle for their first! PERIOD!!!!

  • Man shut up! You bragging off that old has been stuff. The fakers are washed up. It will be another 16 years before they win another one. in Fact I bet you OKC will win a ring before the Fakers does. Anyway, OKC have even been around that long and they are in the finals. Go back and see long long it took those Fakers to go to the finals in their beginning. Anyway all those rings do not belong to the Fakers some of them are mineapolis rings idiot!!!

  • first of all you have to realize thunder is a new team and young. they have advanced very quickly! how long did it take the fakers i mean lakers to get their first ring? i beleive every team has had their good days and it rotates back around when its their time. this is perhaps the thunders time so drop the laker 16 ring thing. thunder is the quiet team, no trash talking very humble and great young men. sit back and watch youngster!
    by girlgwen   June 19, 2012   Reply    
  • If you're going to count the rings that the Lakers picked up in Minneapolis then you can count the ring that came from the Sonics. So by your reasoning OKC has a ring.
    by JKTrip   June 19, 2012   Reply    
  • Sounds like a typical Laker fan response. Have you ever heard the song 'What Have You Done For Me Lately'? That should be the Lakers new theme song. Your comment is just sour grapes because you know that OKC is MUCH better than your team right now. Can't you just be happy about the Lakers history and hope that they get to the top again soon, instead of hating on the BEST TEAM IN THE WEST just because it's not your team? It's called 'Maturity' and you should try it sometime!

And this is a thread about Ronny Boy talking about James harden. Its not like "world peace" is the reason why the Lakers won 16 championships so why are you making a point thats so irrelevent to the topic ? Bitter laker fan ?

If better, if he were any more stupid he'd have to be watered twice a week. Enjoy the finals on TV Metta and enjoy your next team; that is if anybody wants all your baggage.

  • World Asshole has nothing else to do but to make negative comments!! At least Harden is still playing-better player huh!!! I don't understand why Artest changed his name-definitely it does not match his personality. He should feel lucky that no charges were made against him by Harden when he gave him that elbow. I think Artest just likes to see comments about himself and to see who agrees with him. As far as whining little kid-I think that at least 80% of the players have whined one time or another. No matter what is said about the Heat and the Thunder-they are the teams playing for the Championship by beating all the other teams-so live with it!!!

    Secondly his name is Ron Artest and he is a total douche. Next year at this time he will be in the same position as fellow douche bags Chad Ochocinco and that other guy who thinks he is bigger than the game.. Oh yea Turdrell Owens. Neither of which could pay a team to take them.
