It's Ron's world. We just live in it.

It's hard to argue that Ron didn't save Sacramento's season. Because he did.

Despite the weirdness, the psychosis, he's an incredible baller. He's got emotional issues, Kobe has no soul. I don't see a huge gap between them.

But Ron is taking the "get paid" approach, looking to put up the #s that will get him taken care of with a max deal. It's really no different than Mike James chucking 25 shots last night and costing Toronto a chance to win, except Ron is good enough to chuck and win.

That's Mike James team now, I guess he was clanking.
A player like Ron Ron ...I think you can live with a few bad shots. Some of them will go in. I guess you can forget about any kind of disciplined offense.

Ron needs the $$$$. For some reason, he missed a huge chunk of change last season. If you were the GM, would you dole out max money for this mentally deranged player? It's only a matter of time...

Seems like RonRon is really trying hard now. It's just when he starts to think and engage his mouth that things get F'ed up. Whoever gets RonRon in the first round is looking at 7 games.

Talk about a "difference maker." With Ron Artest on the floor, the Kings outscored opponents by 223 points; without him, they were outscored by more than 100 points! Similarly, the Pacers were +130 points with Artest on the court this season but also in the negative with Artest off the court and/or off the team.

Rockin' Ronny is the bomb. He's part Malone, a little Rodman and a lot Mike Tyson.

The NBA needs more superstar nutjobs. I'm tired of listening to the boring guys. Urgh, this means I probably accept Gilbert Arenas....

I'll be drinkin til sunday and listening to WDFN and watchin ESPN classic ...so let me say this about Artest...
1. The one player in the east that scared me. Shaq was 2, Wade was 3. He can dominate and would dominate more if he wasnt bi-polar(like my ex-wife)!
2. Puerto Rican rum is good.
3. I would trade Ben and Tay for a sane Artest any time.
4. I'd like to see more Artest in Tay AND Ben!
5. I'll be really trippin tomorrow....AHHHHHHH! LETS BALL!

I forgot to mention, that was an ESPN quote. I was in a hurry to get out of work when I posted it.
