Earth to Yao Ming: Ron Artest "still ghetto"

What part of "I'm still ghetto" don't you understand, Yao? Following Ron Artest's recent trade to Houston, Rockets center Yao Ming made mention of Artest's infamous journey into the stands during a game to throw punches at a fan. YAO: "Hopefully [Artest isn't] fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands." Artest responded by saying he'll do whatever the team requires: "Whatever Yao Ming wants me to do, I'll be there. Whatever Tracy McGrady tells me to do, that's how it's going to go down. Ultimately, whatever coach Rick Adelman tells me to do is exactly what I'm going to do." But not before he justified his actions. ARTEST: "I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto. If you go back to the brawl, that's a culture issue right there. Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that Ron Artest never changed." It's good to know you haven't changed, Ronny. Kids everywhere should emulate your rock-solid principles and courage in the face of common sense and better judgement. Stay solid. - Dewey http://deadspin.com/5031490/ron-artest-and-yao-ming-are-already-feuding
