    Sorry to go off topic again, but this is one of my biggest pet peeves with people using statistics. He's not a "sub-39%" shooter from 3 in the playoffs, he's a 38.4% shooter. Saying he's sub-39 implies that he's a 35% 3 point shooter. There is no reason for using 39% as a bound to make it sound like he is worse than he really is when he's right at the bound.

    Thats like saying Atlanta was a top 9 defense last season. No, they were #9... not top 9. Saying a team was in the top 9 implies that they were probably around the 7th or 5th best team.

    Artest is a true impact player, he affects a game in so many ways. He can take you to the basket with speed and strength, he can hit the mid range jumper, he can shoot threes, and he can may your life miserable on the defensive end. He does the little things and the big things. He plays so strong and so tough that it rubs off on his team mates. Yao may be getting into scuffles soon!

    Ron Artest didn't like X-Men DVD, so he made it DVD RIP.

    Ron Artest desired a 3D movie, next day XYZ-Men DVD came out.

    The current global financial crisis? That's just Ron Artest forcing people to buy his property at a million dollars per square feet.

    I used to love this game. The Pizza Hut on Westheimer and Dairy Ashford had it, back when Pizza Huts were still sit-in joints.

    Ron Artest was attacked by a herd of piranhas, they died from food poising.

    Angels lose their wings cause Ron Artest likes em with buffalo sauce.

    David Stern is missing both testicles, they are used for cushion support in Ron Artest signature shoes.

    Saying sub-39% means he shot below 39%. I didn't feel like going to find the exact stat, so I said sub-39%.

    And no, not from 3...from the field. Meaning overall in the post season, he shoots below 39% from the field.



    Ron Artest is going to find me and kill me now.

    I actually have some real facts. My gf's stepdad is playing golf with Jason Kidd, and Rick Carlile(not sure if I spelled that anywhere near being right). Anyways I asked my gf's stepdad to ask Rick about Ron and Rick replied. Ron is a very loyal teammate, plays as good as D that is out there, he is rough in the locker room(dont know what thats supposed to mean), Rick also thought this Artest trade was a must for the Rockets, and last but not least Ron was one of the hardest workers he has ever coached. Jason Kidd also emphasised the word tough many times describing Ron's defense.

    Well guys didnt know anywhere else to post this and its nothing no one else already knew but I thought it was cool how Rick and a great player like Jason have such respect for Ron. Good stuff.

    "RIP" as in dead. "XYZ" as in a 3D coordinate system.

    I think?

    Moral victories?

    The only moral is: You don't wanna piss off Ron Artest.

    That's what I meant. I thought it would be funny, but I'm willing to admit "Ron Artest toilet paper is funnier" :D
