As always, Ron-Ron’s haircut is set for prime time (check out the new ‘do here and here): Ron Artest won’t be getting a championship ring like everyone else, but the dude has never been one afraid to stand out.

If Ron Artest is gonna be Phil Jackson’s 2000s model Dennis Rodman, he’s certainly started with the right haircut. He’s got the Chinese symbol for “hero” on the right side of his head, a Lakers logo on the back and “Chatty,” for his deceased friend back in NYC, on the left. I wonder if his [...]
