Ball Don't Lie - NBA

I swear to God I'm not making this up. Sam Amick of the Sacramento Bee (via Detroit Bad Boys) says Ron Artest is hoping to interview the infamous plastic-cup-of-beer-throwin' John Green of the 2004 "Malice at the Palace" brawl. Apparently, Green has already been tracked down and appears to be on board with the plan, as long as he's allowed to wear a helmet and a raincoat. No date has been set, but we'll keep you and your TiVo posted. In the meantime, check out Ron-Ron's recent interview with Kobe Bryant.

    I guess Ron doesn't share any kind of bad feelings for that guy (anymore). He seems through with this fight. But that John Green will be sitting there hoping Ron doesn't have any can of drinks with him to throw at. Insane...

    Speaking of The Palace: Saunders got flipped. Now what about that. McCosky? Bloggers must be real bad journalists. But only if they believe the real ones.

    Artard should worry about his game, not revisiting his biggest meltdown. Why remind the NBA, owners and fans of a stupid incident he escalated that destroyed a team's season? Since Artard has wasted so much of his career due to poor judgment and lack of self-control, you would think he would leave this alone. What was the part about poor judgment again?

    Most of your are really immature as we can read, I am from Sacramento and i have watched Ron Artest mature more than anyone could ever have thought, im hoping he stays in Sac he is our franchise face!! He is doing a local show here on the Carmichael dave show, he is down to earth, me and my kids met him at a local restaurant and he had the most respectfull attitude, I know most of you only remember the Piston`s showdown, But he is a totally diffrent guy, Involved in the community, and the one thing not talked about is this guy is in the gym working out as we speak getting ready for next year, evryone is looking for a negative to happen, But from what i seen the last couple years is it`s not going to happen, he`s a changed man and Sacramento love`s RON !!

    Lakers all the way, this year....possibly the next year after that, then the next year...get use to it UNCLE WILBUR they're goin the distance.
    As for Ron Artest, he is a good defender and hes only 29 plenty of years ahead of him...personally wouldn't want him on the Lakers but he is fun to watch when "trying" to guard Kobe.

    That interview totally reminded me of Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney on SNL. Check it out, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1771078879548684792.
    "Kobe, do you remember when I had to guard you and you dropped 50 on me....that was awesome."

    Your throwing Rondo in the mix now and calling it the Big 4??? Wow, people like you are the ones predicting a Celtics championship. Pau, "soft and Skinny" well it has worked for him and lakers have been dominating since getting him. It seems all the people who have insecurites with themselve call themselves Big. Big 3, now Big 4, Big baby, Big Ticket.... "soft and skinny" hmmm seems like the answer behind those insecurities. Lakers will take it in 6 if they want to celebrate in Boston so you guys can at least see the celebration since you wont be getting the ring. Otherwise we'll take it in 5 at home.
    Ron Artest is a baller. He has changed since the fight. I personally think he should slap the douchebag around a little bit but he wont. Its prob meant to show people a different side of him and to show how he's matured since then. I wouldnt mind him being on Lakers. I think Phil and Kobe could totally keep him in check.

    Kobe's Lakers wouldn't do anything to Russell's Celtics other than lose. Magic's Lakers teams might have a chance but it doesn't matter because the 1986 Celtics would smoke all teams.
