Multi-Billionaire Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 According to a report from ESPN's Bill Simmons, the Houston Rockets attempted to cover up much of Ron Artest's unique behavior during the 2008-09 season. Artest nearly missed Game 7 of their series against the Lakers. Artest missed the first two team buses (the ones for players, coaches and team personnel) from Houston's hotel to the Staples Center and barely made the third and final bus, which was reserved for business staff, sponsors and friends of the team. These stunned people watched Artest sprint to the bus right before it left, jump on and take one of the remaining seats ... yes, wearing only his underwear. Owner Leslie Alexander happened to be sitting on the bus and witnessed the whole thing. And you wonder why the Houston Rockets didn't make any effort whatsoever to bring back Artest.Simmons writes that Artest made a habit of walking around in public in his underwear during his Houston tenure. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60824/20090727/artest_made_a_habit_of_walking_around_in_underwear/ Oh my... no wonder Odom and Ariza want to leave... what's next Kobe demanding to be traded?

Owner Real Deal Posted July 27, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Surprise, surprise...it's Bill Simmons writing it, a Boston Celtics faithful and the guy who makes a living blasting Kobe Bryant. Yeah, Ron Artest sucks. He won't do anything for us. He'll be a freak, and we're doomed, just like we were last season when Bynum screwed up his knee again.

The Goods Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I don't think he would do that here in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Artest carried Houston, especially vs. Portland in the playoffs and did well vs. us. He can dance naked for all I care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Ron Artest is a retard and if the Lakers lose Odom they didn't get better this offseason. He is still an idiot and has lost noticable quickness. He's still a nice player to have, but not as good as advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
