Ron considers the most effective way to call Chris Mullin a recovering alcoholic
This isn’t opening the floodgates to weekend posting or anything, but sometimes you’ve gotta do it. What could inspire a weekend YAYupdate? How about Ron Artest talking trash about Magic Johnson? Somehow, in the same conversation in which Ron says he brought up the trade request in the wrong manner, this comes out of his mouth:
Artest said some of the criticism he has received has been unfair. Former NBA great Magic Johnson said Artest doesn’t deserve a second chance in the NBA.
“It’s like saying, ‘Magic, should your wife give you another chance?’” Artest said “He’s saying Ron Artest should have no more second chances. What’s worse — me saying I want to be traded or you cheating on your wife?”
Well. Does this mean we can cross the Lakers off the list of potential trade destinations? Will Magic respond to this on TNT? Can this get any more fun? Those are all nice questions, but the real one is: was this calculated on Ron’s part, due to all the rumors of the Lakers being close on a deal for him? We go by the Rodman theory of Artest, i.e. he’s no dummy. He said he doesn’t want to go to the west coast, and that’s one team pretty much crossed off the list.

As he should be. At least he got stuck with that fine. Don’t get me wrong, I like Artest but dude can’t seem to learn from his mistakes.
WE are talking about a multi-billion dollar business here. As a ball player you must be proffesional about doing things a certain way. Artest is F*cked up in the head
Maybe Ron is crazy like a fox. It seems he’s got a paid vacation. He can concentrate on his rap career on the Pacers dime. So who’s hurting here? Ron or the Pacers? They have a diminished team. Until Jermaine O’Neal has won something, maybe it is unwise to let him call the shots. Chuck Daley and Phil Jackson let Rodman be Rodman and it paid off. We are not all made from the same cookie cutter mold. History should tell the Pacers that a little locker room conflict could be a winning brew. There was Reggie Jackson sparring in Oakland and New York that culminated in world championships.Neither the ABA or NBA has seen the hoist the trophy.
