I don't really give a shit, but why would you even put this info out there?

Yeah, well he shouldn't be. But he's a professional and shouldn't do it during games--like I said, it really doesn't bother me. I'm sure much worse has gone on and still does to this day. But I just don't understand why you'd put this info out there, it can't be anything but negative.

Well yeah obviously. I don't think Artest has a reputation of playing with a full deck of cards.

I agree with you completely, I just think it's funny how he was so open about it. I wonder if he was prompted in any way to share this kind of info or if he just kinda said it?

Based on prior knowledge he probably just said it. But like I said, why? What could honestly go through his head that told him this should be public knowledge. It only hurts his image and the image of every player in the league based on people speculating.

And before Skyhook and the other Laker strokers come on here, let me say again, I don't care that he did it. It really doesn't matter, it's not like he was tanked and not doing his job. I just don't get why you'd put this out there. To look cool? It really doesn't make you look that cool.

Adande said nothing. Blackistone pretty much said what I said--why the hell would you even put this out there? lol, things like this just make me realize how dumb some pro's really are. Not that it's a surprise, most of them don't need a brain to get there--that's usually what separates the great ones.

Ron Artest is a boss, something non-boss people wouldn't understand.

Artest loves the media as well as the attention. He may not even have drank Hennesy during games, but he damn sure enjoys the attention he gets from it.

Hey dude.. I know that you don't care, and neither do I. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Artest was making it up, just to mess with the media... you know he likes to have fun with those dudes

At least he did eat a hot dog during the game.

These are my thoughts exactly. I love Ron, but why share this?? There's no reason other than to draw more attention to yourself. Ron loves him some Ron.

When has Artest ever worried about his image? He still defended his role in the basketbrawl in the article. Okay, we get it, you don't think you were to blame, but it happened five years ago. No one cares anymore.

The article is full of fail. If I'm a Lakers fan, I'm just hoping he keeps his head on straight until June and doesn't blow the team up.

When I did see this scrolled at the bottom of ESPN, I literally LOL'd.

Wonder if he was drunk when he went into the stands. I know he said while he was in Chicago he did it, but why would he stop once he got to Indiana?

Why would Lakers Fans care what Artest did in Chicago 100 yrs ago?

Do Cavs fans care what Lebron did in High School?

How could you get drunk and run up and down the court. That doesn't sound fun at all. I've done some illegals (H, pot, never yak, but Mclain played alright in that NC game after bootin' up before the game) before playing some sports, but alcohol makes you dehydrated and stuff...

People get drunk and play softball all the time, but there's way more running involved in B.ball...Seems like you'd just wear you buzz right off in a few minutes. I mean how much could you actually down at half-time???
