What does Ron Artest winning a championship teach the Rockets fans?

Congrats to Ron....He deserve it!!!!!
Ron Artest is a tough player for championship.
Morey once dumped him like waste.....
There are too many "IF"s in Houston.
Day Dream Team or "IF" Team???****!!!

 

Morey is really genious!!!!

 

I can't help but saying, Morey is really genius!!!!!

 

I'm pretty sure the majority of this board would be ecstatic. I'm not hating on Ron personally, but you should know that he could not win a championship on the starting five on any other team. It's annoying that such a boneheaded player won, but then again I'm not going to make a post everytime Sasha gets some new bling

 

Indeed. If only Morey had kept Artest, that could've been us celebrating the championship. Morey doesn't know talent if it hit him in the head.

 

this made me feel a lot better about the lakers winning:

quoted for truth...I love Ron Ron, but you take the good with the bad...he didn't win it by himself...that would be Kobe...

Honestly, it doens't teach Rox fans anything...

 

I like Ron. He gave the Rockets his all and put it all out on the court every night... and I can't help but respect him for it. So now that he's won a championship, I'm happy for him. He deserved it.

I was glad when the Rockets let him go because I felt they needed to head in a different direction. Nothing against him, he's just a little old and when you have a chance to bring in a guy like Trevor Ariza, I think you take it. I know Ron wanted to stay in Houston, but the Rockets didn't want him. So I can't hate Ron for leaving.

I just wish he wouldn't have gone to LA. Anywhere else Ron, anywhere (besides SA, Dallas, and Utah, of course) would have been fine. I understand why he went there, but I really wish he wouldn't have.

 

You really didn't post this...did you?

 

As far as what has it taught me? It didn't teach me anything... well, except that the Lakers are good enough to win it with Trevor Ariza or Ron Artest.

 

Man, as much as i hate the Lakers, i got to admit how happy i am that Ron got himself a ring.

 

I'm happy to see Ron get a ring. Too bad it had to be in LA and not in Houston.

 

It taught me to look for Bosh to go to LA.

 

Ron was the hero of game 7. Grats to him!

 

Oh this is a classic post! I will never get over that one.

Ron may be a nutcase, but he is a skilled upper level player. He has looked awful with few exceptions through most of the season and the playoffs, BUT when it counted, he delivered. I don't think LA would have won game seven without him.

 

Carl wouldn't be wearing purple and gold

 

Its tells us that no matter how bad the media makes you look because of a couple incidents, you can still join a good team and win championships. Lakers don't win Game 7 without Ron because some other guy wasn't exactly being the best closer. :grin:

 

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Agree 100%

 

Dude Artest wanted twice the money that he eventually settled for in L.A. Let's not rewrite history. And I would gladly take him back if he brings Kobe, Gasol, & Phil Jackson with him.

 

Thank god we still have players who act themselves, not some scripted BS Stepford Player with his agent whispering in his ear. An ottomaton. No, Ron's the opposite. Sure, he's a character, frequently a loose cannon, a guy who can drive his coach nuts at times, as well as his fellow players, but he can be the difference between winning and losing. A difference maker and he's proved it. The man was a big part of getting us to the second round last year. He was a huge part of LA managing to beat Boston. Like all the good to great players, getting a ring meant validating a career. So Ron got his validation. When he's old and hurting from all those games playing beat up, all the hours busting his arse in practice and on the court, the travel, the media jumping on every mistake, the league barely tolerating him... when he kicking back and looking at his career, Ron's going to be satisfied.

He has his ring, and I'm glad he does.
