only losers cry about the calls and refs...... Artest's elbow was all over Kobe's neck that very same play.

I think the point is.....Dont piss Kobe off! He will destroy you.
That was a much more motivated Kobe last night.

and out comes all of the Laker fanboys.. Kobe and Phil Jackson are as dirty as any in the league.

It's a for real story, Ron's a lot of thing but he ain't a liar. From April 1991:
"A 19-year-old basketball player from Queens was fatally stabbed with a broken-off table leg today after a fight broke out during a basketball tournament, the police said.
The player, Lloyd Newton, was stabbed in the back with a leg from the scorer's table at the championship game of a Y.M.C.A.-sponsored tournament at the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club, the police in Niagara Falls said."

now Ron may not have been there - he was only 11 years old at the time - but no doubt he played with guys in Queensbridge who were there.

this is laughable...he's watched somebody die on the court, yet he's complaining about somebody swatting his arm down on defense. PLEEEASE. You get that at any pickup game you play...if you are so tough, stop crying!

Refs should eliminate the on court antics before things on the floor get serious. Millions of viewers can see what's happening, why can't refs a few feet away. Where is the Commissioner? You sleep...........again.

Artest has crazy eyes man. thank you! I hope if Stu Jackson reviews that play he notices that too!
LAKERS 2009 NBA CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone needs to put Ron Artest & his boys from the neighborhood on a reality show. Real World: Queensbridge.. This is the true story of RonRon and his childhood friends...living in a house & have their lives taped...to find out what happens when logical thought drops off a cliff and things start getting unreal... lol

that story is PHE-NO-ME-MAL

Give Artest some credit he never tried to hit Kobe back and Kobe was definitely asking for it. Artest got ejected because the refs couldn't let something happen to Kobe. They couldn't let him get humiliated which is what would have happened had Artest actually taken a swing at Kobe. If Kobe throws elbows its "competitive," if someone else does it its illegal. I say drop the superstar protection.

Saw you guys play it on the Jones, insane. Oddly hilarious, Artest says something priceless everytime i see him with a mic.

I love how Ron Ron has been pretending to be a changed man who's calm and collective. Last night just showed that some dogs never change. Typical Artest loosing total controll. He was even throwing his own teammates to the side. Just shows its all about "Ron Ron" at the end of the day. " do you know who your pushing" .....what a idiot! An interview shouldnt be therapy session.

INTERESTING FACT: Ron-Ron said Brandon Roy is the greatest player he ever played against because he scored 42 points on him, more than another other player. Kobe will take this as a personal challenge & will get baited into trying to prove a point to Ron which means I expect kobe to play selfishly(hopefully not the other way around like skeets mentioned). Kobe's an emotional hot-head. He got frustrated & slapped Ron's arms when they played the 1st time when they started talkin a lil bit. Imagine how irritated kobe's gonna be after a full series of Ron Artest Defense. Im definitely intrigued in that matchup... If Artest isnt on Kobe, Battier will be. If Kobe beats them Yao Ming will be waiting at the goal... If Kobe DOESNT struggle this series, I'll be thoroughly impressed...

lets see how long before kobe throws another elbow or knee this game... I give him by halftime
This comedy how this stuff unfolds right before your eyes just like i perdicted & people wonder why i hate kobe or why he's voted among the most hated in the NBA by NBA players... He gives the world reasons every night...

If you think this is bad, wait until game 7 when the ref's forget they have whistles..

Kobe played like a little b****. Everyone bad mouths the everyday bad boys like Artest, but Ko-baby takes a cheap shot.
Give Laker girl #24 the will deserved 1 game suspension. And when his season is over, send him my way. I will give him a flagrant foul, or two, to remember.

H/T to basketbawful as well? But what's going on here on BDL today with all these comments? Skeets, see you again, when the Lakers lost game 3. It will be more silent then, I guess.

I'd be throwin some bows too if some was pushin' my head around!! cry baby!! can push everyone around but when some does it back wants to flip out!! i thought it was funny & just kobe ammo!! let's go lakers!!

Jajajajaja - artest learn to respect the champ!! cry-baby!!! gooooooo lakers!

if your gonna let people throw bows that fine, LET EVERYONE THROW BOWS, If your going to let people slap people in the face, LET EVERYON SLAP EVERYONE IN THE FACE. If your going to let people chuck people into scoreboards, LET EVERYONE HAVE A DAMN ROYAL RUMBLE. DONT GIVE SUPERSTAR TREATMENT TO ANYONE ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT

The NBA SUCKS....David Stern has ruined what once was my favorite sport,... I grew up watching Dr. J, Pistol Pete and Kareem and then Magic and Larry...since those days, the NBA has lost any interest for me and millions of others that are tired of what they are trying to pass off as Professional Basketball...yeah, right, "Professional"..that's a laugh!

Ron artest is going stab kobe with a table leg can't wait to see that , then dump his body in the gulf

Artest did nothing wrong that game. Kobe is a cheap a$$! The league better do something about it!
