Metta World Peace has no interest in making a bury-the-hatchet peace gesture with Oklahoma City’s James Harden at the onset of the Los Angeles Lakers’ Western Conference semifinals series against the Thunder.

“I don’t shake substitutes’ hands,” World Peace said after contributing 15 points, five rebounds and four steals in the Lakers’ 96-87 Game 7 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday in his first appearance since serving a seven-game suspension for his elbow to Harden’s head last month.

Harden is not just any substitute of course, he’s the Sixth Man of the Year who suffered a concussion in the second quarter of the Lakers’ 114-106 double-overtime win over the Thunder on April 22 after World Peace’s elbow following a dunk dropped him to the floor.
