So is Artest out against the Spurs???

I'd like to see him get help, but really...trying to help someone who doesn't think they need it never works, he's gotta see he needs help first.

Kicking him out of the league would be a nice wake up call for him. He might realize he needs help once everyone stops kissing his ass.

Kick him out of the league, watch a LOT of talent walk away, and what does that accomplish?

Gets rid of a problem that has been around for years.

I don't think he's insane in the strict medical sense. I don't even know if he has mental health issues.

I do think Artest, like many other kids from the black community now in the NBA, bought into the whole 'gangsta' personna. That brings them into conflict with the law and 'normal' society a lot--but maybe not more than their peer groups back in the 'hood.'

Reportedly, he was diagnosed by a doctor in his early playing days that he had some mental issues and needed medication. He decided they would take the edge off his play on the basketball court and threw them a way.

He's definitely immature and selfish on top of it - but I definitely think he has mental issues.

First of all, the legal process has "it's" way whether I express my opinion on it or not. Second of all, wake me when Kobe gets accused of rape a few more times before you dare to compare situations.
