http://nba.fanhouse.com/2008/08/04/ron-artest-found-out-about-his-trade-while-live-on-sports-talk-r/ I haven't seen this posted, if so, please lock it up. I'm sure you've heard that Ron Artest found out that he got traded while on a national sports radio talk show. I found the audio for it. He sounds hella surprised. "What you talkin about???"
Agreed. He sounds like some cartoon animal that smoked too many cigarettes. And Artest is pretty funny...Ima call my agent but...ITS YO BIRTHDAY!!
quote from the linked article: "I love how, once Artest realized what had happened, he immediately focused his attention on the primary reason for the call: the host's birthday. This proves one of two things: either Artest isn't as self-centered as some people have perceived him to be, or that he's not all there mentally. You make the call." a little of both?
I don't think anyone was supposed to know about the trade until Aug 14. However I think things just got leaked out a little sooner than expected.. I am assuming it may have been his version of trying to silent it out.
