Ball Don't Lie - NBA

In his latest HipHopGame video blog, Rockets forward and QB's finest Ron Artest(notes) airs out his mini-beef with Chris Webber(notes) (and to some extent Barkley) for making fun of the way he talks on an episode of TNT's "Inside The NBA."

Regardless of what you think about the guy, there is one thing that is for certain — it don't get any "realer" than Ron-Ron firing up the ol' MacBook and speaking the truth from the comfort of his own bed.

    I respect Artest for doing and saying the things that most folk wish they could do and say but are too scared to.

    Why would anybody make fun of this guy? He's unstable.

    I can kind of understand why he's talking about what he's talking about, but at some point someone from the rockets organization or his agent, maybe, needs to tell him he makes himself look like he's nuts. plain and simple.

    After the Laker series, I'm a full-blown Ron Artest fan... Tough, defensive-minded basketball players are always fun to watch... And he makes a point in this video... Not only was Webber's impersonation of Artest inacurate, but somewhat degrading to a very large community of people... If you're from New York, particularly Queens Bridge, it's likely you know or are friends with somebody who was or is in jail... Thats no indication of your character...
    With that said, it's really not a big deal... Chuck was laughing at the criticism and Ron didn't seem to be bothered by Barkleys comments... He just wanted to make a point that Chris Webber was wrong... point made

    Ron Artest is more eloquent than 90% of the guys in the NBA. He's 2 times smarter than kobe, Kobe talks like he has a mouthful of c*ck or something. The best word in his vocabulary is "execute". What a moron.
    Ron Artest keep on giving your opinion, you're a better person than Kobe will ever be.

    Lakers suck and they proved that against the Rockets. Do you think they would have even gone to a game 7 if Kobe and Gasol were out and Yao and McGrady were in? I dont think so, Rockets are the deepest and most well rounded team in the NBA.

    Barkley was not a very good defensive player and every one knows it. He finds joy in making fun of other people what a looser!!

    Are the only peoples affiliated with Ron Artest like these? people that break tables at a game and stab them in the heart? or playing ball with fights all the time?? people who are in and out of jail?? do you have to be ghetto to be a thug?? pay homage to criminals and thugs?? This guy is totally confused and nuts!

    I have never been a big fan of Ron Artest, but he make a valid point by no means are NBA players the cream of the crop many inner city ball players get caught up in the system chasing fast money. Ron I as a Laker fan have a new found respect and admiration. I appreciate your words keep your head up.

    Ron just wishes he could do the things Chuck used to do. Defense or no defense, Chuck is the greatest 4 of all-time!
