Video: Artest Tosses Ariza's Shoe Into Crowd

Found November 16, 2009 on Ball Don't Lie:
PLAYERS: Ron Artest,  Trevor Ariza
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers,  Houston Rockets

Picture_4
Funny and/or unsportsmanlike moment from Sunday's Rockets-Lakers game, depending which laundry you cheer for: Trevor Ariza(notes) loses his red ruby sneaker during an early defensive possession. Ron Artest(notes), always looking to capitalize on others' wardrobe malfunctions, picks up the shoe, tosses it out-of-bounds, and then proceeds to hit a wide open three while Ariza, his defender, is left tying his shoe in bewilderment.Ariza's reaction at the 42-second mark is classic — "Are you freakin' kidding me, Ron? My shoe? Dude."Cheers, NBA FanHouse.

Music video mayhem: Ron Artest, 'Blind'

Via Ball Don't Lie  |  November 16, 2009
In today's NBA arenas, each basket and defensive stop conjures some sort of aural celebration. And while I don't want to tell in-arena PAs how to do their job, if they don't blast a sound bite from Ron Artest's new song "Blind" after each and every badly clanked Artest three, well, they deserve to be fired ... and then forced to watch this music video on repeat.
