[Eccl 10:2]

Not entirely true....Harden deliberately stepped into MWP and started the contact.

Not defending the cheap shot, but Harden isn’t innocent here.

Completely, 100% false and incorrect.

Harden was closely trailing the play, running nearly full speed, and was coming to a normal and reasonable stop after the dunk.

Whirled Peas turned quickly after the dunk, did not look where he was going as he was thumping his chest, bumped into Harden, then nailed the completely unsuspecting Harden in the head with the hardest elbow he could muster.

Harden has ZERO intended contribution to the assault. ZERO negligence.

Don't know what video you're watching...Harden clearly stepped into Artest...he wasn't running...it was after the dunk...he even slightly raised up his left shoulder and braced himself for the contact he knew was coming. Look at the video posted above, at 0:04-0:06 and 0:13-0:18.

Artest is an ass, and needs to be punished, and he will. But minus Harden's step-in, I don't think he would have thrown the elbow.
