Ron Artest was interviewed by TNT's Craig Sager at Houston's Wednesday practice and spoke to how good Brandon Roy is on the offensive end.
"Roy is probably the best player I've played against," said Artest. "He's the best shooting guard, not on defense now, defense is kind of suspect, but he's the best player I've played against."
Artest was then asked if he thinks Roy is better than LeBron James or Kobe Bryant.
"He's the best player I've played against," said Artest.

"Come on, you want me to say anything after what happened," said Adelman, who was fined $25,000 by the league for harping on referees inbetween Games 3 and 4.
"I mean, you can't be serious. Unless you want to loan me some money I'd be glad to say some things. I'm not going to say anything," he added.
Portland attempted 23 foul shots on Tuesday night, against just 10 for Houston.
