Artest Is A Wild Dude

[DC]

According to a report from ESPN's Bill Simmons, the Houston Rockets attempted to cover up much of Ron Artest's unique behavior during the 2008-09 season.

Artest nearly missed Game 7 of their series against the Lakers.

Artest missed the first two team buses (the ones for players, coaches and team personnel) from Houston's hotel to the Staples Center and barely made the third and final bus, which was reserved for business staff, sponsors and friends of the team. These stunned people watched Artest sprint to the bus right before it left, jump on and take one of the remaining seats ... yes, wearing only his underwear. Owner Leslie Alexander happened to be sitting on the bus and witnessed the whole thing. And you wonder why the Houston Rockets didn't make any effort whatsoever to bring back Artest.

Simmons writes that Artest made a habit of walking around in public in his underwear during his Houston tenure.

Ron Artest rules.

He is a basketball player, not a diplomat. Walk around in your undies all you want, Ron.

Re: Artest Is A Wild Dude

Rodman was smart...he played people because he knew he could.

Now Artest is a straight wack job

Artest told reporters that he wandered into the Lakers' locker room to express that desire to a showering Kobe Bryant -- right after L.A.'s bitter Game 6 thrashing in Boston in the 2008 Finals, no less -- adding, "Yeah, I walked in the shower. I'm not a homosexual or nothing like that, but Kobe had no clothes on."

[ehh]

Re: Artest Is A Wild Dude

Artest is way crazier than Rodman was.

Re: Artest Is A Wild Dude

As long as Ron doesn't get as wild as Charles Haley then all will be fine.

Re: Artest Is A Wild Dude

If you WANT to go into a shower with another man you are homosexual. Point blank. No I wouldn't tell him that to his face

Re: Artest Is A Wild Dude

you wildin

I'm only assuming that he didn't "want" to go in there to see ole boy nude, but to talk to him.

It's not like it's a house bathroom shower, it's a lockeroom.

And yeah nobody knew how Ron got into their lockeroom. Phil said the same thing.
