Artest finally won a title in June after 11 regular seasons of trying ... and now he's planning to sell the championship ring as a fundraiser to put more psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists in schools.
"I'm never going to put it on," he said.
Artest plans to soon announce details of what he hopes will become a worldwide auction, and he takes possession of the jewelry in an Oct. 26 pre-game ceremony before the Lakers open against the Rockets. It's an incredible gesture. But it's even more meaningful as a statement.
"You work so hard to get a ring, and now you have a chance to help more people than just yourself, instead of just satisfying yourself," he said. "What's better than that? For me, this is very important."
don't really know what to make of this. can you say conflicted!

I've had the honor to play beach football with Ron Ron before.
Many other So. Cali Residents have gotten the chance as well.
Dude is the most humble and down to earth NBA baller I have ever met.
What he is doing is a great Cause and Truly Selfless,
but he can't be serious on donating his First NBA Championship Ring.
He gotta be paying the jeweler to make an extra Ring for him.
Well hope he does.
First Ring, he needs to keep that.

Since this thread turned around from Ron' Auctioning his Ring for Mental Health Awareness to Lebron being ringless.
Please let me contribute as well.
Look out for the rematch.
Jordan Crawford and his Atlanta Hawks host Lebron and the Heat in Atlanta the 21st of October in a pre-season battle.
