magicbalala245 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 http://www.stationcaster.com/stations/wtem/media/mp3/Mantech_Audio_Vault_Pre-roll_15-mix_11-22-08-1227543587.mp3 On the Lakers talent: “I think that we gave them a good punch and we showed them that nothing was going to be easy. They’ve got a great basketball team and one of the league’s most incredible players in Kobe Bryant … but yesterday I think Artest did a great job on Kobe and closing on him and preventing him from getting to close to the basket … How good can Ron Artest be? “Ron is good, man, he’s just a great basketball player. He plays with a great mental toughness. He’s a tough mind – he wants to come out and give his best and make sure the team wins. He plays with a great intensity and sometimes we have to make sure as teammates he doesn’t lose his cool. Because he can get frustrated sometimes when things don’t go his way.” On Artest as a teammate: “He’s a great teammate. He’s a great basketball player. He comes to practice every day – it’s not like some of the stories you’ve heard – he does everything the coaches ask him to do. He jokes around, he loves to listen to the guys, he loves to tell stories. He’s a great guy, you know, and a great teammate … We just see a different Ron.” Click top of quote to read full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 he does everything the coaches ask him to do. Wait what? No son, Dikembe doesnt know what hes talking about. Ron doesnt listen to the coach, he is going to jack up shots whenever he wants, hes not gonna listen to Phil or anyone that tells him how to play. Listen to the experts on OTR, they will tell you hes going to jack up shots, destroy team chemistry, hes gonna shoot Kobe in the leg and Kobe will miss the whole season.

Check my Stats Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 If Deke says it, it must be true. What is anyone going to say about Artest ON THE RECORD? Like that guy said in the article on ESPN the Rockets did a good job of hiding Artest's behavioral issues and stuff like that so it just seems like this is another case of that. Frankly I'm sick of all the speculation and just want the season to get underway. Also Deke, to me at least, seems like the last guy who is going to bash another NBA player. He just seems like a genuinely awesome person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goods Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I believe Mutombo, I think Ron Artest has improved his attitude. Ron Artest is going to have a lesser role on the Lakers, and I hope he accepts that and I think he will. With Phil Jackson as coach, I think he will keep Ron Artest in check, and it doesn't hurt to have Kobe Bryant on your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thats what I like to hear and we'll see it. He'll love playing with Kobe and being coached by Phil. Wants that ring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
