Could Artest help the Lakers to evolve into a team with a winning % of over 20%?
That shot still grates on ya, eh?
& Pierce, the fool flinched. tee, hee.
& Pierce, his pants, still be on fire.
& Ainge, oh, my, my, my he was pissed. But, Media gave him a break, let him be. Nice cozy corporation there.
Bump it up.
Your bag is coming.
No way, Fabbs. I put it in Texas and its staying there, uh, gd, it.
And it's a dirty shame that Artest never got his due from Media. They grudged & grudge it to this day. If he'd a failed that day 17 June 2010 they'd a crucified him all over again, but, the fact that he delivered on a Bryant assist just galled & galls Media no end.
It was a great human story of man overcoming his demons, finding his salvation and displaying a boundless measure of humility that was so amazing.
I will take that presser to the grave.
^ Phil doesn't get enough credit for reining in Metta, tbh... I thought getting him to take his meds was one of his best jobs ever...
Ron was amazing in that game but even better after ... "he passed me the ball!" He never passes me the ball!!"
Late in the second half he started to move the ball and attack and pass and still was Kobe Bryant, and he trusted us and made us feel so good and he passed me the ball. He never passes me the ball, and he passed me the ball. Kobe passed me the ball, and I shot a three. ...(Phil)He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone, you can hear him in your head, "Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot," whatever, pow, three. I love the Zen, though.

Artest, just awesome... best Lakers presser ever.
Still has nothing to do with that presser. That was all Artest. There was no Media-prep there. None of that "Let's move forward ." that everyone uses when they rape, pillage, whatnot. No, he went back, all the way back and confessed to cowardice on national broadcast television in front of his wife and parents who stared him down with a passionless countenance that told you they were as ignorant of his intent as Media was that night.
Ron Artest
Absolutely.
Living in the past, eh?
and the beauty was it was raw emotion to admitting how much he relies on his therapist Dr. Santi to demanding the media on laptops pay atttention to his "Wheaties moment" I have never been prouder of a Laker in a moment after a game ...he seized his moment on the court and after. Many lament losing Ariza but I will take that moment plus 16 over Rza (who I love) we NEEDED Artest, Pierce ...was a PROBLEM we needed handled.
You have to Mid, all jokes aside. if you cant savor those what is the point of all this? I get you guys are focused on repeating but hoping y'all enjoy the end because you know though many try to sweep it aside that 6 hurt and cut deep. getting 5 was beautiful as 6 was crushing. Enjoy em while you can ...because you could face some ty seasons after Timmy and Pop.
Re hit one lucky shot in his entire career that even I would have knocked down, big deal
You get the feeling upstairs most dudes have no idea what they're watching, tbh... how quickly and easy it all goes away...
Not me though... about to leave for a long drive to Philly, go watch the last few games of this exceptional team and era...
Yes, on all accounts. It was a beautiful moment. There was no hesitation, there was no notes, no teleprompters, no staging. It came from the heart, from a life that was laid in waste. He didn't have to go back to that night in Detroit and the aftermath, but, he did, because HE had to.
I get a lump in my throat every time I think of it.
But, yet, when you appealed to me the other night about what your le meant I applied the choker chain to the dogs and put 'em inside and permitted you to cry in peace. Me, I did that because you asked, >. And because nobody ever took the dogs inside when I beseeched them such.
Take your meds old
- "Just remember, whatever you put in your head, stays there."
- "Poppa" - "The Road"
You're talking to a Raiders fan, remember?
ok I will give you and Ron your alone time in peace
And frankly, I didn't even consider your "breakdown" at that moment. I thought about just coming right back over the top, but, a subconscious act on my part took place and I walked away and permitted you your moment, your peace. Then later that night I thought about it, about you and what you'd gone through what it had cost you and it came to me what I'd done subconsciously. And I was proud of myself.
Man I was back when they were in LA (cowboys fan after my old man's team) Rams too ... going to the Coliseum (a dump) was great times. some of the homies followed them with their loyalty to Oakland , I could not. Saw Raider fans chuck batteries at Chiefs fans not AA or AAA but the D batteries from radios ... but sometimes no radios just brought as weapons of fan destruction.You're talking to a Raiders fan, remember?
I hope that is not us for THAT long ... oustside the SB run with Gruden and Gannon Raiders have been really bad. As a Cowboys fan I complain but 3 8-8 seasons would be cause for celebration in Raider nation right now ...
you could say it was no big deal but it was for all the marbles, on the biggest stage facing the franchise lone true rival ...it would be like Vince's 3 last year except add it would be in game 7 closing out the Spurs but instead of winning a playoff game it ends in a le. It was THAT big.
