Ron Artest - Still Crazy

[RIPskaterdude]

I was at the game, and I loved every minute of it, it just made us more loud and more obnoxious, but in Artest's case, to get kicked out that late in the game, with a chance there to still win, is poor judgment on his part. And as for the no layup chants be him, thats funny cause all Boozer did that game was gently lay it in every time he got the ball, also the guy he was guarding (AK) went off for his season high, so Artest clearly didn't have his head in that game at all.

Actually, when AK had alot of his points, Artest was guarding Boozer at the time (Cisco or Salmons were on him)...and Boozer was guarded pretty well in the 2nd half by Artest. Besides, AK got alot of open looks because the Kings had to double Boozer in the paint.

A professional athlete getting heckled?!?!?!?!

The hell you say!

Don't these guys get paid millions to deal with heckling?

Sure, when the heckling is "nice shot, loser" or "you suck!" Basically something relating to the game. But players shouldn't have to deal with crap like that.

Great job by the Jazz fans-they heckled Artest to second tech foul

[Hopper15]

Ron was being heckled like crazy last night. I can't really blame the guy. Try going through what he's going through with his daughter, and then having to deal with classless heckling. Most players reactions would be to have a very subdued attitude about it. Ron's reaction was to overcompensate.

Welcome to Utah

That's not exactly true. Both of the techs called on Ron and the tech called on Theus were complete BS considering how some of Utah's actions went unpunished.

[RIPskaterdude]

Funny how no one pointed out Sloan going absolutely crazy at one point. He actually ran up to mid court and the refs did nothing at all. So Theus does the same thing and BAM, T him up!

Gotta love Bennie S.

The NBA needs more passionate/crazy guys like Ron Artest. 100x more enjoyable to watch.

[stro4swift]

That was great! Harpring and Kirilenko are such annoying players, I'm glad he did that against the frickin' Jazz.

Good show by Ronnie right there!

[St.Nick]

Ron is still crazy. It's a matter of time before he flips out again and gets banned. This video was just a re-enforcement of something we all know is going to happen.

Keep him away from my team.

[yunggunz]

he really wasnt THAT crazy in the video, but the part where he was so stoked about fouling AK47 was pretty hilarious. At that point, I realized he is probably on the same **** Marbury is taking.

[Chucky]

Players like Artest makes NBA much more fun to watch!!

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well.

No offence but just cause your dad can fight doesn't mean you can. Besides boxing is a redundant fighting art in this day & age, Harpring would have football tackled him then ground & pounded his ass. Though he is not dumb enough to do that on the court.

Ron was taught how to box by his father from a young age and has been boxing since then... To my knowledge he still boxes, plain and simple Harpring would be down in a half a punch.

[kobe#8]

Yep he's crazy again..

[91siccx]

wow playing hard and talking s*** to a bunch of geek mormans means your crazy haha. all the video shows is some physical basketball and ron having fun with the hecklers in the crowd. i miss the early mid 90s when aggresive physical play was the norm. can't wait till these teams play again.

oh yeah harpring has always been a ho

[hermes]

wow... i hope he actually goes crazy

i think we're long past that stage

[longfellow44]

I think Artest actions were the perfect response to terrible officiating. The kings get disrespected a lot in the league right now and he's showing our young guys that it's ok to fight back. Artests attitude is a great thing and the way he played that game was a great thing. I'm glad it didn't end up in a physical confrontation but i'm also glad artest brough his attitude and physicality to the game.

This video proves 3 things:
1. Matt Harpring is a punk-ass bitch who only had the goal of being a dirty player all night. He should have been punched in the mouth, but most certainly deserved to be ejected as well for his dirty play.

2. It was even more obvious that Bennett Salvatore was playing favorites in that game. He was quick to T up Ron but seem to turn a blind eye to everything Harpring did. Someone needs to check Bennett's bank account to see if there is a recent large deposit of gambling winnings.

3. The Jazz broadcast team have now surpassed Tommy Heinsohn as being the most ignorantly homeristic broadcasters in the NBA. They are absolutely pathetic and that video proves it.

[j-ragg]

I don't see how you can call Harpring dirty without calling Artest dirty. Not to mention a 'punk-ass bitch'.

And yes, the NBA has an agenda to make the Kings lose, they certainly don't do it due to lack of talent.

You're a homer overreacting, get over it. You lost.

Come to Toronto, Ron.

Pleaseee.
