World Peace Throws a Bow - Lakers Forward Metta World Peace showed his ugly side when he threw an elbow to the head of Oklahoma City Thunder’s James Harden during the second quarter of the Lakers-Thunder matchup on Sunday. The incident was a cruel twist of irony for Peace, who legally changed his name from Ron Artest in 2011 to show he’d moved on from partying and his infamous on-court brawl in 2004, when Peace, then playing for the Indiana Pacers, fouled Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace as he prepared to shoot. In the latest incident, Harden suffered a concussion, and Peace was ejected from the game. (Photo: UPI/Lori Shepler/Landov)

Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban Predicts NFL "Implosion" - Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has never been shy about his opinions. First reported by ESPN Dallas, the outspoken billionaire said that the NFL is at risk of imploding. "I think the NFL is 10 years away from an implosion," Cuban said.

I'm just telling you, when you've got a good thing and you get greedy; it always, always, always, always, always turns on you. That's rule number one of business." (Photo: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
