    At a recent practice, league sources said, Artest loudly confronted Jackson. As he tried to fit into the defending champions a season ago and earn his way, Artest grudgingly went along with Jackson’s public floggings. This season, Artest has less tolerance for it. Essentially, Artest told Jackson that if he wants to coach him, coach him. Just stop embarrassing him in public.

    Haha Ron needs to get his head out of his ass if he doesnt wanna get criticized by Phil. He needs to be coming off the bench pretty soon cuz they need some more athleticism in the starting lineup. Im starting to think that he's too stupid to learn the triangle lmao.

    “See, I can’t really understand the Triangle [offense],” he admits. “There’s 1,000 plays in the Triangle. It’s such a challenge. I get so frustrated about it, I have to call my psychiatrist. So I just stay in my one spot in the corner. If I leave my spot, I get yelled at. Phil’s gonna say, ‘What are you doing over there?!?’ So I just don’t move.”

    Phil Jackson says confrontation with Ron Artest was direct, not a big deal
    Kurt Helin

    Yes, Phil Jackson and Ron Artest had a confrontation during a recent practice, but to read much into that about the focus of the Lakers or the relationship between the two would be a mistake, Jackson said Tuesday night.

    Yahoo Sports first reported the conflict today, but Jackson said the report calling it a “loud” confrontation was inaccurate, saying instead it was “direct” and adding that the relationship between he and Artest is just fine.

    “It was not a loud confrontation it was a man-to-man confrontation. It was obviously out of character for that to happen at practice and for Ron. And it was not about embarrassing him in public, it was about some of the issues that have been brought up that were focused about him….

    “It’s nothing more than what could normally happen in a practice. And obviously there is a spy or a cam or a leak or something that went on in our practice, but those are the things that happen in practice. It was not the first time and it’s not going to be the last….

    “Ron came in and apologized not only to me but in front of the team for what he said was a distraction at practice. That was his own desire to do that, I didn’t even solicit it from him.

    In Ron’s defense, I’ve been trying to motivate him through a variety of activities, starting from the very beginning, just kind of talking about his activity level and his sometimes bizarre behavior. He wants it to be in private, so I said don’t act it out in public.”

    Jackson added he was willing to keep things private with Artest. If Artest does something during a game Jackson said he would have to comment in a public setting, but if it is private he will honor Artest’s request.

    This latest incident tied into comments where Jackson expressed concerns about distractions and “outside influences” on the Lakers this season. Jackson said those were general concerns, not specific to any one thing. Basically, he said veteran team such as his needs to keep its focus.

    “The idea is that when you have a group of professionals that has played anywhere more than five years they know what it takes to play the game and they know what their job is….

    “I mean I had Dennis Rodman, so what can you say? Dennis would go on a bender for two days then come back and play a great game because he knew how to get ready for a ball game. Even though he needed to blow off steam, or whatever he did. I don’t know what he was doing.”

    Well, back-to-back doesn't hold Media attention that long.

    You being innately bereft would be innately ignorant of that particular affect.

    It took him less than 24 hours to retract what he said about Kobe, might be a new record
