Maybe they call him World Peace for nothing after all. The man formerly known as Ron Artest showed some signs of his old self during today's game when he connected with a sharp elbow that sent Oklahoma City's James Harden immediately to the floor and resulted in Metta hitting the showers early. While the Lakers forward contends that the shot was completely unintentional, the refs didn't buy his excuse.
