Lock if posted already. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5417748 The best parts among many nice tidbits were: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE? "Titanic. When DiCaprio is trying to save the young lady, that was dope. When she tries to save him, and he dies, that was dope too. That whole situation was tragic. When I saw the baby in the water, frozen? I cried a little, but mostly I was pissed. I'd just had my daughter, so when I saw that frozen baby, I was like, "What the f -- !? That's bull -- !" And let's not forget about Céline Dion. That woman is unbelievable. You know how much I love my music? Well, I wouldn't put out a song for 10 years if that meant I could put out a song with her. Her voice sounds like pure fresh air. It sounds like what it sounded like when the world was created." And DO YOU STILL WANT TO PLAY FOR TEAM USA? "Give me a chance to represent the ghettos of America. Come on, Team USA! I don't have much time left."
That is odd - he started 55 of 66 games and a lot of those 11 non-starts had to do with injury issues. Yes, I am completely ignoring the "one of the best players in the league" nonsense when he struggled to shoot 40%...
"I own defense. It's like my corporation. I'm the CEO and everyone else is just an employee. The fans and players know I belong. When you need a stop, who you going to call? Not the ******* Ghostbusters, I'll tell you that. You call me." - Ron Artest LOL, I LOVE RON ARTEST.
Ron is definitely the most entertaining guy to interview in the NBA. he sounds sane at times yet he is just truly nuts..
He's talking about at the start of the season, when we had him coming off the bench behind Battier and Mcgrady. And also those random games where a hobbled Tmac decided he try could play. Man, that HAD to be annoying for Ron.
Its sad when Forrest Gump can trump your intellectual capability. I am not saying that all NBA players have to be smart, but I REALLY see him as one of the guys who becomes broke 5 years after he retires. Hope I am wrong, but he talks like he is in 3rd grade.
"I want to be a coach, bad. I'd love to coach the Knicks " oh fun. he's pretty justified about locking down those players in the playoffs though...
I was talking to one of my friends that used to work at the Toyota Rental Car service, and she said that Ron would always talk about himself in 3d person. They got into an argument one time and he said "Ron isn't paying for THAT", she looked at him stupid and said "RON IS PAYING FOR THAT", he got mad and stormed off. LOL. Silly Ron. She said he would do it all the time, maybe he was trying to be funny, I dunno. Oh and she said Battier is a real class act. No surprise there. And that Cook, acts a little stuck up. What a loser.
