Ron Artest deserves a hefty suspension for this despicable act. I'm thinking 10 games. Maybe more, considering his history of violence. 

What do you think?

Update: Here's the statement Artest issued to the media:

"During that play I just dunked on (Kevin) Durantand (Serge) Ibaka and I got really emotional and excited and it was unfortunate that James had to get hit with an unintentional elbow," World Peace said. "I hope he's OK. The Thunder, they're playing for a championship this year, so I hope that he's OK and I apologize to the Thunder and to James Harden.

"You know, it was such a great game and it was unfortunate so much emotion was going on at that time … That's it for today."

Unintentional? C'mon, man.
