For reasons unknown, new Lakers forward Ron Artest(notes) decided to set up his own photo shoot — with actress/model/vigilante Natalin Avci — while being interviewed by SI.com's Arash Markazi.
According to Jimmy Traina, the photos weren't scheduled to run anywhere, but, well, here they are.
Ron Artest is a gentleman and a scholar and semi-NSFW. Click with caution, friends.

If I were a Laker fan, I'd feel the same way you do. Too many distractions creeping into the Lakers' organization right now...
