Metta World Peace isn't interested in making peace with James Harden. The erratic elbower, who returned from his seven-game suspension in time to save the season in the Lakers game seven win over the Nuggets* (15 points, 4 steals), said he won't shake Harden's hand because he's a player who comes off the bench, effectively treating the sixth man like an invisible man. Artest acts like this is a long-standing policy of his, but we think his reasoning is: if your hair can't be as wild as your opponent's, at least your comments and conduct can be. Harden may be a substitute, but there's no substitute for manners, Metta. It's probably best for Harden that their mitts won't meet (this isn't playoff hockey, so it's not obligatory), since Purell doesn't protect against crazy.
*of course the Lakers might've been able to end the series earlier had he not tried out his WWE heel move and been available, although it did free him up to appear on late-night talk shows.
