If only everyone start saying out loud everything they think... what if Artest had said Yao cant get past first round, TMac cant get past first round and I will get them past it. Is it a fact?? YES, would he be wrong to say that?? NOPE. But did he? NOPE. Should he? NOPE. It's called COMMON SENSE.
gosh, stop blaming blineberry. In the same friggin article: "Scola said he wouldn't listen to old stories and gossip about Artest. "I've never talked to him," Scola said. "I've played against him three times, four times that I remember. I don't know anybody that knows him personally. So I'm not gonna judge him for anything that I don't know. "I'm gonna be with him. I'm gonna play with him through the whole season and then I'm gonna have my own opinion of him before God. I'm not gonna let myself be influenced by what anybody says about him. Because I just don't know him. All I know is him as a player." How the heck did he "trick" Yao???? Yao lately has been very local and I personally think he should relax a bit and stop trying to be Alpha male.
If you were in the military would you be wary if GEORGE W BUSH COULD BE PRESIDENT FOR ANOTHER 8 YEARS?
I wasn't targeting him specifically although I can certainly see how it would appear that I was considering the tone of this thread and me improperly spelling "writers'" as "writer's" I've actually defended Fran quite a bit in the past.
please the fight in the stands vs kobe raping is 2 hugely different topics...he was offended because of the manor fran blumpkin put yaos word in...you hear artest speak about it...he just doesn't want ppl to misunderstand his character...he was angry because yao mentioned the issue noob
So there is validity to the question you are not supposed to ask? Does that mean Artest should ever talk about bad shooting on a night he goes 10-12 and the rest of the team goes 10-48?
I for one hope Yao wasnt joking... it makes him look weak... Yao is one of the leaders of the team... and he should be questioning ... Artest if he wil have a commitment to a team... just because someone hasnt made it out of the first round, or the player that is comming has some talent... dosent mean these guys shouldnt be asking questions... Yao should have said something To Artest in person rather than through the media...first but I for one... am happy that for once... one of our leaders questions somones commitment... rather than have a Bonzi or Anderson player show up...
NO ONE SHOULD FORGET THAT ARTEST WAS TRADED BECAUSE HE "PUBLICLY" called out the Maloofs and even brought their mother into the debate.......THIS ISN'T BEHIND CLOSED DOORS STUFF? Yao does not have to apologize, he wants a ring we know that for sure, Artest is already talking about MONEY!
Well I guess that's why they say that words themselves are 7% of our communication... (vocal communication is 38%, and visual is 55%).

Some of you need to quit making a mountain out of a mow hill. Ron Artest knows Yao meant it as a joke. He had no problem with the rest of the article just what he thought was a reference to “character issues” pertaining to the brawl. On the radio Wednesday night he said he fell into the propaganda of the media when he initially responded to the SacBee writer. He knows Yao didn’t mean it to come out the way it did, he said as much. They are brothers on a team now, going for the same goal. Misunderstandings happen in a family, especially when new members are added. It’s good sign that both Artest and Yao were mature enough to reach out to each other and squash this mix-up. It shows that they have mutual respect for each other and that they care.
that is not the same at all. The fans started the problem with Artest and Artest did what I would have done in that situation defend himself. We all saw what happened with the Artest situation. Kobe on the other hand all we have to go by is what Kobe and the w**** has to say. He may have been a little pushy we don't know, but what we do know is that a cup of some type of beverage was thrown on to Ron Artest.
I've been waiting for someone to talk smack about Blinesberry. I hate his attitude. The blog readers asked kind questions and almost everytime doucheberry would mock them. I hate his "I'm better than you" attitude towards everyone. Never have I seen an answer from him that only had the word "Yes" or "No". Everytime he would have to make a mockery out of nothing.
