I thought Shaq's reality show was to make fat kids skinny, not to get them a shot at the NBA.

Didn't stop Shaq from playing.

Obviously he hasn't done enough running, yet.

Fuck it, I'm playing a summer league this year.

Artest vs. Artest boxing should be the undercard to next year's NBA Finals.

I push [Ron] and he pushes me.

I throw a beer at Ron and he attacks the little girl down the street.

Did this guy play in college? Or HS? Or did he just wake up one morning and decide since his relative is a baller that he can be one too?

You know what? I have a second cousin on the space station right now. I think I'll go be an astronaut.

there aren't a lot of 300 pound guards in the nba ? what ?

Pros: "Can jump and everything."
Cons: Related to Ron Artest; 300lbs

Sounds like Knicks material.

@Lady Andrea: Sorry, but I can't help myself. Are those space pants you're wearing?

"I push Ron and Ron pushes me" can take on a whole different context when talking about Artest.

I actually know a third Artest brother from IU. He used to come to our parties all the time. Couldn't be a nicer a guy out there. Polar opposite of Ron.

Throw a beer at Ron Artest: goes into stands, tries to fight fans.

Throw a beer at Daniel Artest: thanks you for the beer, asks for six more beers, a hot dog and a pretzel.

If he's Grimace-
is ron ron the Hamburglar?

Tru Warrier, out

@Raskolnikov: And that's why you don't accidentally skip over reading previous posts.

Or teach a lesson using a one arm man.

He's ginormous. Which is apparently a real word now.

"I push [Ron] and he pushes me."

But I love him. He's my coach.

Myyyy coach.

He'll be okay. If the NBA thing doesn't pan out, he can always fall back on rap superstardom via Tru Warier Records.

Ron Artest's brother makes Tractor Traylor look as skinny as Shawn Bradley.

I'm suddenly imagining Ron and Daniel Artest as George and Lennie.

"The rabbits we're gonna get and I-I get to tend 'em."

Ron Artest's younger brother? He looks more like Oliver Miller's younger brother.

Steinz might not make it back alive

I wonder if he feeds his dogs, or just eats the food himself?

Whitlock?

Whenever I get the opportunity to play, you're gonna see how I play. I can jump and everything. I can hit the NBA three. I can fly into a violent rage. I scored really good on my punch-random-fan-in-the-face test. I'm all about the fundamentals, really.

Looks like he's already lost an index finger to diabetes.

it looks like the younger artest was eating the food that ron's great dane should have been eating.

Daniel hungry. Must. Eat. Stern.

You can have Winky Dinky Dog! Crew chief! Fat boy!

@Athletic Supporter: nice call, you beat me to the starving joke.

Ron Artest's brother is interested in those chipotle gift certificates everyone is talking about.

Kinda has a touch of the Wayne Brady in the face. And the Hot Plate Williams in the ass.

@UpstateUnderdog: I'm surprised he didn't eat the dog.

In other basketball-related news, Deadspin and the Stephon Marbury got a mention in the current "Newsweek."

This guy is hilarious on that VH1 show which highlights all the hilarious internet videos I missed out on last week.

@flubby: Ron Artest's brother needs to be reminded that there are jobs at the Post Office.

@Detective Bunk: I think he looks more like Ruben Studdard.

There are 300 lb security guards in the NBA.

Feed. Me.

@Disgruntled Goat: i thinking he may have eaten that dog.

@flubby: say it with me bobby, "winky dinky dog".

@Lady Andrea: I stand corrected.

When he goes out. To get the mail. It measures on. The richter scale.

What I love is how he has been working at this "for months." Gotta love his work ethic. He's worked for MONTHS to make the NBA rosters. Paul Shirley should be so gratuitous with his time.

Maybe he meant he could be a guard in the NFL?

@businessorleisure: not only that, but:

Regardless, Daniel was asked about the biggest challenge of launching an NBA career at the age of 24.

"Doing everything, the same thing, every day," he said, "just getting up early in the morning and going to practice, stuff that I'm not used to.

Getting up is hard to do. Especially when you're 300 lbs.

Oliver Miller's brother is busy preparing for next year's hotdog eating championships.

@RashaanEnis: Not to mention mooching off of a millionaire brother. i can't even make rent this month.

I hate this man. Seriously.

He ain't heavy; he's my brother.

Ok, so he's heavy. But he's still my brother.

I could touch the net when I was in middle school, at barely 5'. This guy ain't never gonna experience that.

He's like Oliver Miller, Tractor Traylor and Stanley Roberts, all rolled up in one great big doughy ball of crazy.

I've seen that dude before...I think he's the one who stole Ricky's football when they went to see the dead body. His daddy gave him that football and I told him not to be bringin' it around everywhere.

@Lady Andrea: Don't do it, Lady A. You'll only end up a diaper-wearing woman scorned.

You sure this ain't part of one of those sportscenter specials for the make a wish foundation? Did he really just roll his fat ass out of bed one day and decide to be a professional basketball player? That sounds like the makings of one of those holiday inn express commercials.

Seriously though, I hope he has a fuckin' heart attack on christmas morning.

Joe Buck thinks there's a headstone with his name on it.

He wants to play guard before he even makes it into the league and he's an Artest. That just screams "coachable."
