Artest: "I'm ghetto and represent my culture". "Once Yao meets
me he'll understand that".:rolleyes:


Say WHAT!?!?:dispntd:


Ron thought he was disrespected by a puny guy in the stands.
Ben Wallace disrespected him by caving his chest in. I didn't see
Artest running after Wallace.:thinking:

Yeah, the thing that struck me about this article was about how unapologetic Artest was when speaking of the incident.

"If you go back to the brawl, that's a culture issue right there," Artest added, according to the report. "Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that Ron Artest never changed."


That's right, Rocket Fans. You're just one thrown beer away from Toyota Center riot/shooting-fest, courtesy of Mr. Artest, because he can't be 'disrespected' by a drunkard in the stands.

He hasn't had any MAJOR blowups in Sacramento, so why bring up the past and get started on a bad note?

Just go play and win. That's all we need.

You'll have to ask Yao Ming. He's the one who brought it up.:D

SO Ron-Ron just said he called Yao to explain things to him about who Ron Artest is. Ron only referred to himself in the third person 4-5 times which is impressive for him. He also said Ron isn't crazy and bi-polar (there's that third person again) and that he's very happy to be in Houston and they won't be beat this year.

yao ming is one of the softest players in the league, if i was ron artest i would bring that up

Now they have 3 of the most injury prone players in the league
