Yeah, What Is That Smoke You're Blowing, Mr. Artest?
So, I completely missed this upon first viewing of Ron Artest's vlog post, but thanks to Pete Gaines, it was brought to my attention: Artest appears to be smoking...something. Maybe it's a cigarette. Maybe it's a napkin stuffed with pine needles. Maybe he's doing a dragon impersonation. Or, you know, maybe it's a spliff. But...Ron Artest wouldn't be THAT stupid would he? Would he actually film himself smoking weed on camera and then submit it to the website HipHopGame.com? I know he's very adamant about being "hood" and all that, but, man, if this is what it appears to be, well, that tops the list of questionable decision-making from a man who's history of questionable decision-making is already well known.

Ron Artest Speaks the Awful, Unvarnished Truth
It's pretty rare to have an interview with Ron Artest that isn't entertaining, but the one he did in the latest issue of "King" magazine is unbelievably candid. Writer Thomas Golianopoulos was a former elementary school classmate of Artest's back at P.S. 122 in Astoria Queens, which evidently gave him a level of trust beyond most reporters. Artest answered his questions with even less of a filter than usual, revealing some pretty amazing stuff. Here are some of the most interesting/disgraceful/memorable quotes from "The Education of Ron Artest":

Ron Artest and Yao Ming Are Already Feuding
Yao expressed some concern about whether or not Artest would still be fighting and going into the stands. Which isn't that big of a surprise considering that the Chinese calendar says it's still 2004. But Ron Artest wasn't pleased by the comments. So he did what Ron Artest always does, gave the Houston Chronicle a cogent explanation of his position. That, or said that Yao hadn't really played with any black basketball players yet. Okay, the latter. More »

Scott Ferrall Needs Some Publicity
Sirius/XM Satellite Radio host Scott Ferrall actually had Ron Artest on-air last night and asked the forward about the pending trade to Houston. Unfortunately, Artest wasn't aware of the trade at that time. "I had my phone off," Artest tells the raspy-voiced Ferrall. Although he was a little shocked, Artest seemed pleased to be headed to a contender. The person who was apparently most pleased about these fortuitous events? Ferrall's producer, Lou Pellegrino, who is determined to get this news item across to the whole sports media universe because it'll get "get plenty of pub." More » -

A-R-T-E-S-T still spells "crazy"
Ron Artest is kind of like El Nino: Not fully understood but capable of wreaking unspeakable havoc when you least expect it. Although, honestly, we probably should have anticipated that he'd go a little crazy(er) after watching Baron Davis, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette get rewarded with bags of free money for opting out of the final year of their contracts after he chose not to.

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 »

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 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 »

Ron Artest Back To Selling Crazy. Whew.
Our heads are still trying to get around the news that Indiana swingman Ron Artest has demanded a trade from the Pacers. Neverminding that the Pacers (and, specifically, Larry Bird) stood steadfast by their man while he was portrayed as Jeffrey Dahmer in the offseason. Neverminding that the city of Indianapolis, when not rapping along with 12-year-olds, still loves the guy. And neverminding that Sports Illustrated article at the beginning of the season that was so nice to Artest that it had him swimming with old people and practically knitting puppies sweaters. More »
