ArTESTAMENT to the Lakers

I think that everyone can agree that Ron Artest is quite possibly the most bipolar player in the NBA. Metaphorically speaking, think of Harvey Dent's face post being halfway engulfed in fire. When Ron is on his game, it's spectacular. I would venture to say magical to a degree. When he is not, I wonder how he starts or even made it into the NBA for that matter. The Lakers needed him come game seven of a spectacular (even though I had earlier posted about not wanting to watch it) series. Thankfully for his most-of-the-time critical coach, Jackson, he was unbelievable. Artest racked up twenty points (one of those being a rare three) and played his signature style defense obtaining five steals while basically shutting down Paul Pierce. From start to finish, I, and most of the nation, would call him the MVP of game 7.

The best part about him though is how literally out there he can be. Forget the Laker yellow hair and the Chinese symbols inside, the laughable PETA adds (nothing against PETA, just cheesy),and the crowd incident years ago. Just take a look at who he thanked in his post game interview. Big thanks to Sarah Hughes for posting this on my wall.

Quoted from Yahoo Sports:

"In case you lost track, here's a quick chronological rundown of all the people thanked by Ron Artest in less than a minute:

• Everybody in his hood.
• The World Wide Warriors, I guess?
• His wife.
•His family.
• His kids.
• Everybody.
• His doctor, Dr. Sandy (?).
• His psychiatrist, who really helped him relax a lot and apparently told Ron he would make a 3-pointer. This may be "Dr. Sandy," but that is unclear.
• ESPN sideline reporter Doris Burke."

And managed to get in some promo for his single, apparently named 'Champion.' My advice: stay as far away as humanly possible. I'm guessing it will probably be worst than Eddie Murphy's bomb of a movie 'The Adventures of Pluto Nash.' Most of you probably don't even know what I'm talking about right now.

I'm just glad he hit the three. I would have hate to see him if he didn't.
