    Here's a radio interview with our favorite source of NBA drama. Many gems at this link.

    And my personal favorite [though I am slightly taking it out of context]:

    Nothing wrong about throwing the shoe, especially if the refs don't whistle. It would have been a safer option to have "accidently" kicked the shoe away.

    Jesus was "a great guy" -- how true that is!

    I liked his attitude when he was playing for us, but it seems like he's gone off the rails again surrounded by the glitz and glamour, hanging out with vujabitch and kobe. Telling people who like him to get out of his face? Way to treat your fans.

    Artest is a grown man with a family. He doesn't need anyone to talk down to him. Those patronising Lakers fans would grate on anybody.

    He who accuses people of judging him is judging the people who he thinks judge him.

    In his defense, he kind of has a point on the "get out of my face" quote, but the way he switched base from saying he cares about public opinion and then quickly spluttering into an anecdote that only showcases his intolerance for even the slightest bit of criticism doesn't really make you sound all that grounded.

    So yeah, he does seem like he has gone a little bit further off the deep end now that he's out there. Most of what he says isn't horrible, but it's definitely a little off kilter.

    Anyhow, I hope he keeps his head together. =P

    What's funnier, Ron or the people that take the things he says seriously?
