Artest on drinking during games and wanting to fight Big Ben

Ron Artest of Los Angeles Lakers says he drank booze at halftime of NBA games - http://tinyurl.com/yzasx9q

Personally, I don’t know what’s crazier: the fact that Artest was drinking during games or that he walked to the liquor store to buy his booze before games. But from all the quotes that I’ve seen, I think the one that should get the most attention is surrounding Artest’s feelings toward Ben Wallace.

“I see Ben, I’m on my guard now,” Artest says in the interview. “I’m always in the mood to fight him. … I’ll get suspended 10 games, 15 games (because) I’ll just fight him right there. It won’t go into the stands.”

If that’s not chalkboard fodder then I don’t know what is. And when the Lakers head to Detroit on Sunday, December 20 for a 3:00pm showdown with the Pistons, you better believe I’ll be tuning in on League Pass.

For some reason I suspect that one or both of those players will coincidentally be injured, suspended or otherwise unavailable for that meeting. If it comes to it, Stern might kneecap one of them them himself.

I'm sure this is exactly what the Lakers wanted when they signed Ron Artest. Dude's a ticking time bomb.

The funny thing is Ron Artest thinks he'd only get 10-15 games. It's one thing to get into a fight because emotions are running high during a game, it's another to do some shit premeditated. I'm sure he'd do some punk ass shit like elbow him in the back of the head like he did to start the brawl. Truth is he didn't want any of Ben then and he didn't do shit when they played since then. This is Ron talking shit trying to save street cred.

I bet Michael Curry was drinking at the half, too.

Before and during the games, too.

I wonder if Stuckey drinks during halftime? it would explain a few things.

If the Pistons keep losing players I might start drinking at halftime too.

We all said this a few years ago, but Ben would kick the shit out of him. No contest. There, I said it again.
