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 was like the Joker just read that Kite Man got named "Batman's Greatest Enemy" by Supervillains Digest. More »

Early 2000s Kings Get Their "Wacky Pose"
Remember how, when you were in Little League, right after you did the "serious" team photo, you got to do a "wacky" one? We used to put our hat backwards and pull up one pantleg. We were pretty freaking hilarious when we were 10. Anyway, the 2002 Kings apparently pulled a similar stunt. More » -

Not A Coach, But He Played One On TV
We happily welcome Reggie Theus, mustached oiled man of mystery, back to the NBA, thanks to his new gig as head coach of the Sacramento Kings. Theus, of course, is probably more famous for his modeling and thespian work than his coaching, though he did bring New Mexico State to the NCAA tournament last year. 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 »

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 »

This Is How A Heart Breaks: The Spurs Will Not Be Going Quietly
I'm ripping off "The Closer," Will's daily recap of some of the major developments of the previous night's baseball games... except, this focuses on the NBA playoffs, it'll be restricted to weekends, and the name of the feature probably bothers you immensely. Sorry. Basketball doesn't have a "closer" position, and I didn't want to use a lame basketball term like "And One!" So you get visions of Rob Thomas. Enjoy... More » -

Western Conference Playoff Pants Party!
Ah, now down to the nit and the grit. The Western Conference, in our view, has a No. 8 seed that could be a legitimate Finals candidate in the East, and oh how fun would it be to see Artest in Detroit in the playoffs. Deep all around, with even Kobe and the 11 guys from rec league scaring people, we can't imagine missing a single game. More » -

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.

Why Your City Sucks
Looks like the Maloof brothers got a hold of the Jumbotron controls while drunk again. In what the team says will be a regular feature, when the Pistons were introduced last night, the Kings ran a feature about the city of Detroit on the scoreboard.
