Funny and interesting interview of Ron Artest interviewing Ron Artest. He references Utah a couple times. My favorite is that Utah Jazz fans called him Osama Bin Ron in the playoffs. LOL

"Well, I guess I would try saying, "You're crazy," or "psychopath." I got called both those things, and worse, in the playoffs. Fans in Utah called me Osama Bin Ron and said, "You need medicine," but none of that fazed me."

lol Utah fanz rock my world

I shut down whoever I shut down in Utah; they didn't have any stars at the 3


Miles and Korver played the best basketball of their career in that series...Outside of one quarter in game 3, Artest was the main reason the Jazz were close in some games.

Reminds of when Bryon Russell did an online chat in 2000 during the Blazers series...

Q: What do you have to do to stop Scottie Pippen?
A. Nothing. I did it already. He's stopped.

Then, in Game 5, Pippen has a big game and buries the dagger three. Russell then goes on to badly miss two free throws and air-ball a three at the buzzer.

To be fair the first free throw he missed was because fans shook the basket support. Of course, refs do nothing.
