Ron Artest's Lunacy Knows No Bounds


The life of an NBA entourage member is a hard one. Even though it may offer an otherwise unemployable sect of society the opportunity to live an exciting, fulfilling life vicariously through a pampered professional athlete, there is legitimate "work" to be done in order to maintain a prime spot in the posse pecking order.

It's Still Not As Dangerous As A Typical Eagles Game


Please bear with me if you've seen this before; any time I see something this large and angry go into the stands that isn't Ron Artest, I must post it. Three things of note here: 1. Love the three guys sitting under the little overhang in the middle there, safe from harm in the stadium's finest luxury box. 2. Insult a squirrel, and PETA will sue you back to the Stone Age. Throw spears at bulls in a ring until they die? Nothin'. 3. As seen following the jump, at least five people in the crowd refuse to drop their beers, even though an enraged bull is inches away, about to gore them. Party on, Enrique. More photos: More »

The Back Of Ron Artest's Head Is A Canvas

With the NBA's trading deadline passed, Ron Artest finally felt it was safe to have his love for the Kings proclaimed boldly on the back of his head. He debuted the new look in last night's win over the Lakers. More »

Ron Artest Now 53 Percent More Crazy

We understand that the mohawk is making a comeback — we guess — but now that Ron Artest has one, well, we're not really sure how to handle it. Some have said he looks like Mr. T, but, frankly, in this light, we think Grace Jones is the best parallel. And, in the grand scheme of things, that kind of makes sense. Yikes. More »

Five Little Words That Started It All

As every schoolchild knows by heart, Nov. 19, 2004 was the date of the Malice in the Palace NBA brawl between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers. That of course is the fight in which the Pacers' Ron Artest went into the stands to tangle with fans, one of whom he thought had thrown a beverage at him. But there's more to this story. Only now as the two-year anniversary of the fight approaches, are we learning the telling details of that fateful night. More »

Welcome, At Last, To Ron Artest's World

You might have missed it with all the business of watching parades of sexy nurses/witches/superheroes/hockey players pass by, but on Halloween, the new album from Ron Artest "dropped," as they say. It's called "My World," and it is apparently not inspired by the weird song Axl Rose put on the end of "Use Your Illusion I" without telling Izzy Stradlin, ultimately causing him to quit the band and just screw everything up. (Side note: A friend of ours is seeing Guns 'N' Roses in concert on Sunday; we remain far from convinced the show will actually happen.) More »

Ron Artest Gets His Illini On, Tru Warrior Warier Style

So here's something that took us back a bit: Sacramento Kings guard/forward/madman Ron Artest is apparently on tour right now to support his modestly titled album "My World" — TRU WARIER! — and he's clearly playing the most amped up, crazy venues. More »

Ron Artest Talks With Kids: Can World Peace Be Far Behind?

From the looks of things, it's only a matter of time before Ron Artest is asked to appear on Sesame Street. We're a wee bit late on this, but fortunately TrueHoop was paying close attention to Artest's first day of mandatory community service yesterday, which was part of his punishment for the 2004 Auburn Hills Brawl with the Pistons while he was a member of the Pacers. At a panel on black empowerment at the Judge Mathis Community Center in Detroit, Artest was, um, not exactly contrite. "Someone started trouble and I ended it," Artest told about 50 children. "I would always encourage you to protect yourself but in certain situations, if you can avoid them, avoid them." NeedForSheed has video of the event, in which Artest also said that he has "made some mistakes in life, like selling cocaine at the age of 13." (We were detassling corn). More »

Some Things, Ron Artest Shouldn't Joke About

Temporarily sane Sacramento forward Ron Artest gave an interview to the Sacramento Bee over the weekend that covered his future with the team, his dogs and Donald Trump. But the most frightening section came from when Artest was asked about whether or not Bonzi Wells will return to the team next year. More »

Ron Artest, Spreading the Love

The world is a happy, shiny place today — at least if you're a basketball fan in Indiana or Sacramento. And it's all due to Ron Artest. Who would have thought that the former Pacers malcontent would be responsible for spreading so much joy? That's our Ron. Just think of him as a large, irritable cupid, who sometimes punches people.

Hello, Sacramento!


ESPN/HBO/NBC/Basement Somewhere In New Jersey's Jim Gray has come up for air enough to report that Ron Artest has accepted the trade to the Sacramento Kings. We wish the city of Sacramento all kinds of luck; have fun, you crazy kids. There has to be some sort of Schwarzenegger angle here, doesn't there? More »

Go Sell Crazy Someplace Else

We say this with trepidation, because we've always kind of suspected, deep down, the guy was more complex than people thought, but it's time to part the cards on the table here: It's possible Ron Artest is just a dick. More »
