Being Ron Artest

LOS ANGELES -- There are some dangerous places to be in the world. Inside Ron Artest's Cadillac Escalade is one of them. Inside Ron Artest's brain is another.

We're about to spend 16 hours inside both.

Friday, Dec. 3:

7:15 a.m. -- Yes, Ron Artest is crazy. Crazy people think Ron Artest is crazy. But he's not crazy 24/7. For instance, this morning, Artest is taking his kids to school in his Escalade, not his bright red, open-wheel Indy race car. But he has.

"Cops always pull me over, but it's street legal!" protests Artest, 31.

Like so much in the life of the most unpredictable man in the NBA, the Indy car is four parts crazy, one part brilliant.

Take, for instance, during the playoffs, when he usually rents himself a Lamborghini.

Why, Ron Ron?

"I don't know. I don't know how to drive a Lamborghini, and the last time I did it, I had to pay them another $20,000 extra. So I'm not going to do that anymore."

There are three of his kids in this car -- Sade (13), Ron (11) and Diamond (7), and one more -- LeRon (9) -- back in NYC. He is mostly a very fun dad to have. Sometimes they wake up in the morning to find out that their dad appeared on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" the night before in just his boxers. Or did a TV appearance in a fake beard. Or went to a practice in just a bathrobe.
Why, Ron Ron?
"It's fun. My kids think it's funny, so I do it. But my wife doesn't like it. So I don't tell her."

Ron Artest says JaVale McGee is playing too many video games

“He potentially could be a really good player,” Artest said. “I think he got to go to school a little bit more. He’s got to work on that IQ a little bit. He got to watch more tape. I don’t think he watches tape. I think he plays video games. I do. I don’t think he watches tape. I think he plays video games and I think he could possibly have an Atari. He should upgrade to a Play Station.”

Atari? He’s that out of date?

“Possibly Atari,” Artest said. “He could potentially become a force, if, if he wants to. But if he doesn’t, he can continue to play Atari.”

Found that on RGM's General Board.

The dude should do stand up!

Him, Ochocinco, Rasheed Wallace, and Kevin Millar (baseball) need to do an Athletic Kings of Comedy show...

I didn't read any of the above, didn't look at anything, just went for the reply button just to say: I WANT NO PART OF ARTESTS MIND! Thank you that is all and best of luck to anyone who does get into his head, even slightly.
