Too many interviews from Artest. Artest should just keep his mouth shut and play ball. Those a-holes have no love for Artest and they are waiting to make a big deal out of it if Artest slips with his words.
I can't imagine why an interview with someone who plays a sport that is clearly number 3 (and not even really close) in popularity in this country and is smack dab in the middle of their offseason would be a low priority for ESPN.
you may have a point.. let' see now.. before the Artest interview.. ESPN gave priority to..Football(Pro/college)... Baseball.. Golf... Nascar... and some extreme sport.. that I believe was 'drag racing'.. or something equally mind numbing.. wait a min.. that's more than 3.. isn't it..?
Aww hell yeah. Just watched it, and it's definitely got me hyped. I'm sure when the season starts and we hit our first bumps in the road sentiments will change, but right now, WE GOIN ALL THE WAY BABYYY!!!!
Every interviewer has the same goal, which is to prompt Artest to say something stupid. It would be nice to see professional athletes realize that volunteer interviews are rarely worth the risk, as these clowns always have an agenda of their own and can't be trusted. In short, Ron needs to turn on his answering machine and disappear until training camp.

This is so exciting! I love what Ron Artest brings to the Rockets. I love his attitude, thats exactly what this team needs. We have a very deep and talented team. No reason why we won't be NBA CHAMPS! Artest is freakin awesome!! And the rest of the NBA is terrified of the Rockets after this interview.
We will be one of the few teams in the league that can match-up with Boston. A team with only Yao Ming and no McGrady almost beat Boston by just playing defense and moving the ball on offense. It's also because big men like Yao give the Boston Celtics trouble. He had all their bigs in foul trouble. If we're fortunate to meet them in the finals, our team has as good a chance as the Celtics to win.
Ron Artest stands out to me like such a sincere, honest man... You can see it from his eyes. I can't imagine how such a man will do all the stuff that he's done... We're gonna need time to judge this guy. Definitely.
