Video: The Ron Artest Free Agency Decision Process

Ron Artest’s decision to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers seemed like a no-brainer. He loves Kobe Bryant, and the Lakers give him a shot at the title for each of the next three years. But more goes into the decision making process than that. This video shows Ron Artest talking to (his wife and then..) [...] Related posts:Video: Ron Artest Speaks on Game 2 Ejection and Kobe...

Ron Artest records worst Michael Jackson tribute ever

That's a video of Andrew Zimmern of 'Bizarre Foods' eating june bugs.  I put that up because it's infinitely more appetizing than Ron Artest's rap tribute to Michael Jackson (NSFW lyrics).  It might be one of the worst things I've ever heard.  I can appreciate wanting to eulogize an icon.  But this is disgustingly bad.  Quite possibly one of the worst...

Artest And Kobe Do Their Best Work In The Shower

Part of Ron's new contract with LA requires both his dressing room and shower stalls be next to Kobe's. -Tas

Ron Artest’s Tribute to Michael Jackson Is Somehow Crazier Than Ron Artest

If there was going to be anyone who paid tribute to Michael Jackson, it was obviously going to be Ron Artest, right? Or not. Because he’s weird and crazy and full of insanity. Or maybe that’s why he’s perfect. Hell, I don’t know. I do know that his rap video/song tribute to the King of [...]

Did Artest Seal Lakers’ Deal In Shower With Kobe?

Look, many of history’s major agreements have come to fruition as the main participants were bathing. Winston Churchill convincing FDR to enact the lend-lease program (bathtub); the Missouri Compromise (steam room); signing of the Declaration of Independence (Founding Fathers nakedly cavorting in local hot spring). Now comes news that the seeds for Ron Artest’s signing [...]

Ron Artest talks to his agent before signing with the Lakers

This is an interesting video because it gives an inside look at the free agency process. Player calls agent, agent talks to player about his options, player interrupted for some random dude while his agent is talking about important things, and player pretending he heard everything the agent just said.

Ron Artest Does a Tribute for Michael Jackson

Ron Artest is the newest memember on the Lakers roster. Apparently he is wasting no time in adjusting to L.A. life. Artest has shamelessly promoted his record label in the pass, and now he is on to his next big recording, a tribute to the late Michael Jackson. If you have ever followed Ron Artest you know he is a unique charactor, and this tribute song proves that. Warning...

A Ron Artest Review — The Soap Opera So Far…

I've been trying hard to come to grips with the reality that one of my least favorite players in the NBA will soon be the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers. "Truth hits everybody," a British bassist named Gordon Sumner once noted. True words a...

Ron Artest Raps Tribute to Michael Jackson

Well, it’s another Tru Warrior drop, but let’s just say MJ’s passing didn’t provide much inspiration. (Spotted at This Is 50)

Artest a good player, but bad fit for Lakers

(By Bill Plaschke, Los Angeles Times) Less than three weeks after the parade, the NBA champion Lakers have already met the biggest threat to their throne.Themselves.What are they thinking? What are they doing?They just won a title that would not have been possible without the strong defense and stunning shooting of a 24-year-old kid with a limitless ceiling. Yet they send the kid...

Hide Ya Face

If you've not yet done so, please read Shoals's nearly perfect articulation of Ron Artest. As I think about the piece, I like it even more for having been posted during the nation's birthday weekend. Seems like a subtle, even if unintended, ribbing for all of Ron's self-righteous detractors. He enjoys freedom and opportunity in this land, too.Also, please check the...

Kobe and Artest: A Match Made In The Shower

If you're like me, you were kinda miffed when you heard that the Rockets had traded Ron Artest to the Lakers for Trevor Ariza. My miffness was two-fold.1) Why would the Rockets part ways with Artest? Especially since Yao Ming may be done forever and maybe, just maybe you can get a healthy T-Mac back. A little wishful there, but even if you have to move Artest, you don't send...

NBA, une nouvelle dynastie Lakers-Celtics

Ron Artest à Los Angeles. Rasheed Wallace à Boston. En NBA, encore plus qu'ailleurs, on ne prête désormais qu'aux riches.
