probably the first two games of the season. he opened up games with a steal and a lay up. i was hoping it would set some type of tone for the season.
a few which come to mind: Ron Artest muscle flex after the strong and1 move inside during Portland playoff game (if someone could find the pic that would be much appreciated!) Bill Worrell: "OH YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ron Artest saying Roy was better than Kobe and Lebron. Ron Artest talking about his friend who died after someone threw a table leg through his chest during a basketball dispute. Ron Artest with the Von-Hawk and Rockets Logo shaved into side of head. Ron Artest with the snaggle tooth. There are plenty more, Ron sure made his stay with us a memorable one, very thankful for his hard work and hustle and he definitely kept me entertained last season! Will be cheering for the guy for the rest of his career (as long as Houston still wins lol)
definitely the jazz game for me as well. one of the most fun games ever. I still remember the crowd going "ron artest" , "ron artest", "ron artest". awsome game. he hit every free throw down the stretch, despite the crowd cheering his name while he took his shots.
As much as i hate to say it... Ron will be missed... Trevor 'Mr Energy' Ariza we have faith! <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8mAajbn6O_M&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8mAajbn6O_M&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
Mine had to be when he jumped in the crowd and just sat there in the stands during the Portland/Houston series. And of course in the interview "I've been in the stands before." lol. Have fun in L.A. Ron Ron.
It would be the 2nd or 3rd game of the Rockets. The game against the Mavs where He and Brooks helped the team beat the Mavs. He was instrumental on defense and that clutch 3 point shot that basically sealed the game. I had high hopes but injuries did not allow the team to play as a whole and see where it could have led the team in the playoffs.
Ron going into the stands than sat there for a while was my highlight. I hope we don't have this type of threads in the middle of the season. #96 is retired to me.
Me and the wife were at that jazz game and like everyone who mentioned it, it was a hellva experience
My most memorable moment was when he hit that 3 at Dallas and got the whole bench off there feet. I think Yao and him almost tried a chest bump it would've been nice to see if both stayed standing if they did. Even Lazy McGrady got off his seat for that one... memories...
No. It wasn't funny, it was classless. Would it have been as funny to you if the same thing happened to Yao when he had a broken foot? Tracy's knee was shot. How does a 6'8 guy with superior athleticism and dunking ability get hung on a simple dunk? A sever injury, that's how. This is how you know Tmac was really injured. But yet, people still don't want to believe it even when our doctor has stepped down because of it. My favorite Ron moment was when he put on the biggest act in NBA history by making us think he wanted to fight Kobe by getting in his face during the playoffs when in reality, they are good friends and were conspiring to play together. Ron Artest played all of you, Houston. And you are all too blind to see it because you are too worried about calling Tmac a quitter because he had a blown out knee that required micro fracture surgery to repair. Ron Artest supporters got PLAYED. Good riddance.
How so? He received a half-ass, one-year offer from the Rockets. Why should he stay for such a slap in the face offer? He came in and did his job. Without him we do not get to the second round. Without him we do not stretch the Lakers to 7 games. Who betrayed who? I don't blame him for leaving.
Oh yeah, Von and Ron knew She-Mac had such a severe injury right at that moment. Yep, us Ron Artest supporters got played into the second round and 7 games with the Lakers. Yep, players that are friends never get physical in games. Go watch a soft team like the Grizzlies. It's a love-fest there. You'd like it.
the best ron artest moment for me was when he decided to go to L.A. and stay the **** away from the rockets.
It was the game vs mavericks in dallas. His shot made Tmac so emotional and it was shown on TV again and again. Plus that that game is so important for the rockets too.
I was at that game too. Yao wasn't doing anything so they decided to run the offense through Ron by posting him. I'm really surprised they did not use him more in the post.
No one can show so much heart for 82 games as a charade. I remember even during our first loss against the Memphis Grizzlies when Ron had an ankle injury, there was a moment when he was covering his head and looking down at himself in disappointment. Good luck with your conspiracy theories.
