Great Article On Artest

[ShaY]

A great read on Artest imo , it's old , from December 21st 2007 but still really worth a read untill training camp arrives.

Some of the highlights:

"I wish [the NBA salary system] was more like, you don't get nothing till you win a championship. I'm that type of player, you know?'' he said. "Because that's what I want, a championship. I just know I'm going to get it. I'm destined to get it. I think God put me in the situation to get a championship in Indiana a couple years ago, and I messed that up. But I believe he gives second chances, and I believe I'm destined to get one of those rings.''

"I earned the chances,'' Artest said of his opportunities to contend with Indiana, "and I messed it up. I took it for granted. I'm not going to take those things for granted anymore. So when I'm in that situation and getting that opportunity again, I'm going to be able to take advantage of that opportunity.''
