The dude who made this thread is spot on. Total move. Almost more than when kobe whined about being traded, but than once he got his way with pau for a ham sandwhich he was laker man again! No ing class.
If Artest was really as hood as he claims, if he kept it real the way he pretends he does, he would have signed with a Euroleague team before he signed with the Lakers.
And just to make it clear, this isn't a laker hate thread. If Artest had spent all season talking about the Mavericks, talking to Dirk, then got beat by them in the playoffs and signed with them in the offseason, he be just as big of a .

Obsessed.
Big kids do that too.
Artest wanted to play with the Lakers even before he was traded to Houston, as we all know he went into the Lakers locker room after they lost to Boston, and said "I wanna help you"
Houston didn't want him back anyway, b/c stuff was happening behind the scenes that we still don't know about....I'm not mad about him leaving, but the Lakers? I guess he couldn't wait until the rox were eliminated
And whoever said Ron would be the third option behind Kobe and Gasol, just a warning: Artest always thinks he is the first option
In Ron's defense, he's been a boy for Kobe for a long time. And as weird and eccentric as he is, it really isn't all that surprising that he's also a pussy hypocrite. Are you really that surprised?
Ron is just a mixture of two opposing contradicting personalities, sometimes he wants to be the rescuer and takes tons of bull shots, most of which end in dangs and defensive rebounds. But the decisions he made in transferring illustrate the opposing Artest. He doesn't like working for a scrub team, which is why he cried for a trade last summer and finally managed to get traded from Sacramento to Houston, even though he knew he would only be the 3rd option in Houston (though he would turn to be No.1 guy on his team when fighting the Lakers in the playoffs).
If he is really the warrior like he always acts to be, he should stay in Sacramento till his contract expires. Ron is already planning to thrive a cheap ring like Payton did in 06 despite the fact that he is still relatively young.
Ain't nothin' wrong with that, Rogue, eh? You all built the Pistons a room here abouts because Horry did likewise.
tee, hee.
no one ever accused artest of playing with a full deck anyway.
Ron is who he is but on a side note - once compe ion starts, there are no friends on the court unless they wear the same color jersey.
I dunno, I just thought Artest was a man of principle. A man of extremely twisted, ed up principle for sure, but still. Just thinking about the tough guy act he tried pulling on Kobe & the Lakers, for him to then pull this seems very un-Artest. Then again, with him, the Artest thing to do might be the the most un-Artest thing possible.
Ron artest signing with LA was also a business decision, and not just sucking off to Kobe like you think. Ron does have a music lable and marketing business and he can pursue all those goals in a media market like Los Angeles. That was a big reason why he came to LA, check out his newest called Shin Shin, she is pretty hot.
Unlike what he's supposed to be with his tough body and hard mind, he is very inconsistent and variable a player that has played for 4 different teams in his 10 year career and is about to play for his 5th host, not to mention how many times he has changed his jersey numbers.
+1,000,000,000,000,000,000
The Rocket's only offered him a one year deal also but that still doesn't mean he had to go to the Lakers of all ing teams.
that's why i want to change my artest jersey to a benedict arnold jersey. i think it would get some tv airtime if i wore it backwards and i was behind the rox bench. what do you guys think?
I think yer snakebit and no matter what you do, yer doomed.
I still can't fathom having a guy on my team who applied to work at an electronics store so he could get a discount. Or a guy that walks around team buses in his underwear. That's some kind of crazy right there.
Please.
You fathomed having a guy on your team who threw a sweaty towel into the face of his coach during an NBA game.
Not as bad as asking for time off from the team so he could promote his rap album. Or walking into another team's locker room to talk to a naked Kobe Bryant. I mean, there are some screws loose there. Good luck with him though. I'm sure he's not as crazy now.
you obviously never played ball. you can get in confrontations with your best friends on the court.
How bout that guy you fathomed who squeezed into that Wedding Gown and didn't look half bad?
Yeah and how did that work out for the Spurs? I mean, Artest is probably gonna be under control this next season. I don't see any reason him being in Los Angeles would bring out the crazy.
Not good. He adamantly refused to carry David's end of the log.
