Warren2ThaG Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 http://www.rotoworld.com/images/photos/NBA/LAK/NBA_Artest_small.jpg----------Ron Artest admits to drinking during gamesLakers forward Ron Artest admits he used to drink alcohol during games while he was on the Bulls. "I used to drink Hennessy ... at halftime," said Artest, who played with the Bulls from 1999-2002. "I (kept it) in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it." This is very shocking news and it will be interesting to see what David Stern has to say about this one.---http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2009/12/ron-artest-admits-to-drinking-during-games-while-with-bulls.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJNJ Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) I'm not that quite surprised? But then again this was years ago... Now if this was today with the Lakers - no comment. He's already crazy as is. Edited December 2, 2009 by JenFlowDesignz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted December 2, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 How did he actually get away with that? Would he just tell Tim Floyd he had to run an errand or something, or did he actually stick his head in the locker and drink it without anyone looking? Stupid, though. Good way to get kicked out of the league when you're a promising, potential star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Being so open to the media is starting to backfire a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobe24 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hmm, Pretty sure a friend of mine that lives in Detroit said she'd see Darko Milicic at her uncles bar getting drunk all the time, i dont remember if she said if it was before the games or not.

The Regime Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Haha what a badass, Artest is always finding some way to get the medias attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) What WAS wrong with him...No, what IS wrong with him. Did you click full story? He mentioned things like still wanting to fight Ben Wallace and not caring about the ramifications. He has some issues that can't be ignored just because he is a good player.

La Bomba Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yeah dude, he's a bad [expletive] when he drinks before playing basketball, the sport he gets paid to play. He has inspired me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another interview about a month ago where he said that him and Ben are friends. Being on a championship team, with a champion as a teammate, and a championship coach, changes things.

Lafan9 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Wow, he's a pretty open guy isn't he, kind of getting suspicious with this guy, he's no problem on the court but going on a late night show pretty much half naked, then being pretty damn open to discussing this. The leats ron can do is slow down with his antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvester Of Sorrow Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 He is insane no doubt, but he said hes fine now, how he was more crazy in chicago because he was a kid, and got better in Indy, and how he was almost there in sac town, then 97% in houston, but now 100% with the lakers. and he should be, he has kobe and pau and his friend lamar. Hes the closest to winning a ring he will ever be, so why not be open about it, admit past mistakes and move on. He doesnt want to be tiger woods and have it come out later on and bite him in the [expletive]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
