What's he doing in China?

Is he working on his game? He was awesome in Sac but I think he could do alot better then he did last year.

I said it before and Ill say it again, I like his personality. I like what he said when he signed his deal about the money.

^^first thing that came to my mind too. whats he going to do with the watch other than get robbed for it? not too many people looking to buy 45k used watches i think, lol

great gesture though.

I would be at a pawn shop trying to see how much I could get for it. I would not want to wear something like that. Todays world. Your a target with that one.

Poor kid(i emphasize the word POOR) in china isn't going to have access to the Internet.

The kid is either going to get robbed or sell it for a bag of rice. Nice gesture by Artest but he should've given him cash instead.

i love this guy lol.. he always has some hollywood thing about him.. so freakin spontaneous LOL.

anyways, ron ron was probably there trying to make a name out of himself by following kobe's footsteps hehe. For that kid... he better high tail it out of there before he gets robbed. Hope he uses it for good use like a lakers ticket hehe jk.

They talked about it on PTI. Tony said insane and Will said it was sweet and part of the Artest charm.
