OT: Funny Ron Artest Tidbit 

Post#1 » by OooSplendiforous » Tue Aug 26, 2008 1:46 am

In spite of his abilities, Artest has been the subject of much controversy. During his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls, he was subject to criticism for applying for a job at Circuit City, just to get an employee discount.[


heres another one...even better:

After recording a career-high seven steals in March, Artest tells reporters that steals came pretty easy for him, then matter-of-factly details shoplifting back in the projects of Queensbridge, N.Y: "I used to steal cookies from the store as a kid. I got real good. I used to steal about four packages a day. It prepared me for the league."

Both hilarious, and sad at the same time. It is because of that warped view that Artesty acts and thinks the way he does. He's going to get in trouble again, it's just a matter of time...
