    Ron Artest is one crazy mofo.......I thought the foul was a legit hard foul. Artest almost throws a punch and than touches graham's face.....showing no respect.

    why should he respect him? He knows he could drop him and the dude was only talking smack because RonRon cannot punch him.

    The hard foul was near the neck area. If he was in the air, and Graham pulled him down, it would have been a flagrant. Fortunate for Graham, Artest was on the floor.

    Artest must have had a flashback right before he threw that punch, thinking wait, maybe I should stop :p

    He didn't see that punch coming so that would of been a 100% shot to the head without any defense.

    Not to mention Artest is one of the strongest players in the league.

    I meant when they were face to face.

    And Graham is not some little player.

    Ron had no intent to punch. It was definitely a swing that was purely for intimidation, don't mess with me again purposes.

    Don't blame Ron at all, Graham's foul was dirty.

    Couldn't believe there wasn't a flagrant called there.

    That wasn't a dirty foul. It's not like Artest was in the air. That's how you commit a foul inside against a strong player. If that's a dirty foul, then every foul ever committed against Shaq has been dirty as well.

    Hmmm. We haven't seen the last of this. Ron Ron is going to get tested a few times before the season is over. Not a good sign for the Lakers.

    I don't blame him for being ticked off by the foul, but turning around like he did and pushing a guy in the face cannot happen.

    I thought Artest was tough; he couldn't handle that foul?

    Landry loses teeth; and he doesn't complain.

    Totally agree with you.

    I fear that he will explode one of these days. Ron should be penalized for this.

    That foul was definitely a little foul. See what i did there lol. But seriously if you gonna wrap somebody up wrap em up. But there's no need throw them after that.

    Yeah, I like the Landry tough more than the Artest tough.
