Ron Ron in Vegas…spotted by fuckinfat. Sorry for the late post, man…didn’t catch this in my submitted posts!

Hat tip to Drunk on Cheese for this great article from Negative Dunkalectics. 

Later in the evening I got caught up in it. Sitting under the basket I could hear Artest’s persistent shit-talking all night long. He and Sprewell were jawing at each other hard. And Artest was a physical player, his elbows ratcheting back and forth and side to side like a swirling combine. At one point the ref called a ticky tack foul on Spree away from the ball and Artest was taking it out baseline just a few seats down from where I sat. Some drunk fan standing behind him was going at him. “You suck Ron. I’m glad we didn’t draft you. You sucked at St. Johns and you suck now.

Ron held the ball. He turned around and stood face to face with the heckler, staring him down with the meanest of mugs. Hypnotized, the fan slowly sat down in his chair. Everyone erupted in laughter. My friend and I were incredulous. We stood up and screamed. “Don’t let him punk you! He can’t do shit! He can’t do shit!” Ron looked over at us with that same icy stare. Slowly he curled up the edges of his mouth in a wry little grin. He turned and inbounded the ball.

Perhaps even in his rookie season Ron Artest knew that one day he was going to have to whip a fan’s ass. (…continued)

THIS IS AMAZING. Thank you to lamitas for the submission.

Just a heads up, the audio is really bad on this one, but I couldn’t help post a submission from a fellow follower of FYron.

drunkwithswag: ron artest & t-pain: the amount of clinical insanity is immeasurable.

I think I may have underestimated the genius that is Ron Artest. Whether we know it or not, it would seem that he has a master plan for everything. For him, the championship was a means of securing his re-entry into Hip-Hop and opportunity to promote his shrink. Now for next act, he plans on raising money to benefit mental institutions by hocking his championship ring without having ever putting it on. After working for his entire career to earn that precious metal, he’s generously decided to put it up for sale in a selfless effort to help hundreds of aspiring psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists attend school.

“Artest plans to soon announce details of what he hopes will become a worldwide auction, and he takes possession of the jewelry in an Oct. 26 pre-game ceremony before the Lakers open against the Rockets. It’s an incredible gesture. But it’s even more meaningful as a statement.

“You work so hard to get a ring, and now you have a chance to help more people than just yourself, instead of just satisfying yourself,” he said. “What’s better than that? For me, this is very important.” [NBA]

Apparently, Ron Ron’s come to terms with the fact that he’s a complete and utter nutcase and he’s willing to invest any amount of money into his future, hoping that a future quack will discover the cure to his lunacy. One would imagine that donating a percentage of “Champions” iTunes sales would have been a sizable donation, but I guess in this waning music industry, that might not amount to much.

Either way, good plan Ron.
