http://slamonline.com/online/2008/09/slamonline-top-50-ron-artest-no-41/ Quoting last two paragraphs Also with in the whole article is the link to their older Top 50, done in 2006.
Reading all of the quotes below that article is interesting. Almost everyone feels that Ron should be higher.
Props to the author for knowing what the Fifth Ward is. But, for shame on the tired dig on Alston, who has been well under control on the basketball court for many years. Artest will need reining in before Alston does.
NBA Fanhouse put Ron-Ron at 43, BUT the person ahead of him is Shane Battier at 42. WTF! http://nba.fanhouse.com/tag/NBATop50/page/2/
go back to that link http://nba.fanhouse.com/tag/NBATop50/page/2/ and look at some of the other players above Ron Artest... Tyson Chandler? Come on now...
41 is a bit low, can you really name 40 players that you would want on your team before the name Ron Artest come up?
