Lakers: Ron Artest goes off on Charles Barkley

[DMC]

I want to see the footage of Charles telling Kenny he would have been cut.

[whitemamba]

He made one of the stupidest fouls ever on Ray Allen in the waning minutes to keep Boston in the game.

forgotten after a hard fought win...

That game was one of the most exciting WORST games I have ever seen. Both teams bricking wide open shots. That's also an * for the Lakers. Perkins was injured. No way they win that game if Boston had Perkins.

so this season is already an * for the spurs then?

The worse case of officiating the league has ever seen...MJ throws a punch at Reggie Miller , scratches him in the face like a and the ing refs give Reggie a tech and throw him out of the game....this is at the height of the Bulls winning and the main reason MJ won all those les...Refs were in the bag for that ...

Meh...you make it sound like Miller completely got the shaft. Both players should have been ejected: Jordan for the punch, and Miller for the cheap shot on Jordan out of bounds. Miller started that .

only a Ray Charles Jr wannabe would think that....check out the first 2 secs of the vid..Notice MJ's wicked elbows to Miller that spilled over to the play in question

MWP is still the BADASS mother er he's always been, despite his name being changed

And Artest never won until he went and jumped on Kobe's tbh...

You've got a point about the elbow, but Miller's shove before the elbow was part of that too.

Nope, I call bull . Both players were dogging each other, and I guarantee you that had been going on long before that point in the game. I'd have given both players warning techs long before that point. The refs obviously let the physical play go on far too long, and result was a frustration laden circus free-for-all.

As I already said, both players should have been ejected. However, the point where it got completely out of hand was where Miller took a cheap shot at Jordan out of bounds.

Maybe they would...but then maybe I'd sue and then become rich and famous off the ass kicking....sounds like something I could live with

Call me a pussy if you want but I'd be pretty fine with getting my ass beat and getting millions paid for it. Especially if I got the chance to land even 1 good punch on Artest.

The one thing I remember about Barkley and respect is the time after a game he started cussing out the officials and followed them to their dressing room yelling and cursing at them only to have them slam the door in his face. His response: he kicked the door down and continued to cuss them out.

Ron Ron has always been my guy...I'd prefer to keep him on the bench but if we can't then a package deal for Ariza would happy me...

But as for Ron Ron before twitter remember he hit Magic Johnson with this supersonic mega blast..I respected Ron for it...and tbqh Magic hasn't been the same since...After the whole Malice at the Palace brawl Magic said Artest should be kicked out of the league and not given a second chance....here's Ron's now classic response:

you're all about guys.

I'd take prime Barkley in a fight over prime Artest tbh.

Easily. He would break Artest in half.
