Ron Artest: What Planet are you from?

Is there any arguing that Ron Artest has now cemented himself as the athlete most likely to join a cult? To become a real-life Buffalo Bill? Throw on Spandex and produce Jazzercize video?

I mean the man is totally unpredictable. It's like he's actually one of those aliens from Space Jam.

He wears the #37 for the Lakers because Michael Jackson's album Thriller was #1 on the charts for 37 straight weeks. Obviously.

During his Rookie season with the Bulls he applied for a job a Circuit City just to get an employee discount. And if he would have been hired they wouldn't have gone out of business.

He wore a bathrobe to practice while with the Pacers. Didn't get the memo that showers were after practice.

After having one of the best games of his career; 46 minutes 20 points 5 rebounds 2 huge 3-pointers while holding Paul Pierce to just 18 points, in undoubtably the biggest game of his career, Game 7 of the NBA Finals, he gives us this:



He thanks everyone in his hood, his doctor, and his psychiatrist for helping him relax.

He doesn't allow Doris Burke to ask any questions.

He praises himself for his 3-pointer.

To top it all off, he promotes his new single "Champions" which he says he recorded last June.

Ron Ron ends by giving Doris a giant hug and walking away.


Artest has definately made the most of his second chance with the winning of an NBA Championship.

He will always be notorious for the brawl in Detroit, but he is also one heck of a basketball player. Yes he may not have the best shot, he is a little shaky on the free-throw line, and his decision making is not the best, but he does compete to the best of his ability game in and game out. He compliments Kobe very well. He works just as hard as Kobe, is as passionate as Kobe, and puts his best foot forward to gain the approval of his idol Kobe Bryant.

He is the modern day Dennis Rodman, but with an actual offensive game. He's gritty and tough and isn't afraid to play in your face defense. Not to mention his affinity for the Worm's hair.















































It's true he still takes stupid fouls which sometimes lead to technicals and ejections, but it just shows his passion.

All in all, I like Ron Artest, he's a wild-card everytime he steps on the court, but there's no denying a player that hustles the way he does.

I mean how can't you not like a player who openly admits to drinking Hennessey at halftime.
