If any fan ever deserved to get barreled into by a 250-lb power forward, it’s this guy. It’s impossible to watch this clip and not want to punch him in the face.
I’ll admit it. Even I was saying that the addition of Shaq was bad for the Cavs. Fact of the matter is, he just might put them over the top this year (barring injury).
Someone call child services, a baby just got killed!
Did anyone catch the Lakers against the Magic on Sunday? If you did it was a pretty decent game to watch. If this winds up being a finals rematch I still think the Lakers would win but the Magic certainly got the best of LA on that day.
Still though, Matt Barnes. Come on man. You’re not that good. I can’t stand players who aren’t very good that talk a lot of trash and try to annoy players.
Kobe clearly wasn’t having any of that.
If you check out the above pic – which I found over at Ball Don’t Lie – you can see that Ron Artest has shaved his head. Why is that significant? Because just days ago, Artest was sporting a hairstyle the likes of which would have made Dennis Rodman uncomfortable. I guess he realized how absolutely ridiculous it all looked and wanted to go back to looking like a normal human being for a while.
I know what Artest must have been thinking; we’ve all gotten terrible haircuts before, Some haircuts are so bad that you’re not left with any choice but to shave your head and start over. According to the photographer (Mike Trudell), the messages of “defense” are still there, just not nearly as prominent. Guess we’ll have to wait for a better image to find out for sure.
Anyway, the fact that Artest may have some self-awareness as to his look bumps him down a few notches on the crazy meter.
In case you somehow forgot that Ron Artest is quite unstable, he done dyed in “defense” in Hebrew, Japanese, and Hindi into his hair. I guess it beats a Chinese tattoo on his shoulder blade. It’s like Dennis Rodman all over again, but this version of Rodman is scary crazy, as opposed to just sort of funny/entertaining crazy.
I will admit I do miss the days of guys like Anthony Mason shaving messages into their heads, and it is pretty cool to see Artest bring some of his personality out through his hairstyle. But like, Jesus Christ, man. You’re an adult.
You can check out more pictures and a video of Artest’s hair after the jump. Thanks to youbeenblinded.com for finding this.
It’s just insane how high this kid can jump. I’ve seen him dunk over guys a lot bigger than him at least three or four times now, but they just don’t seem to get the idea that my man Rose can fly.
They’re really struggling without Noah, though, huh?
The NBA playoffs are right around the corner. It’s tough to call a draft pick a bust after one year, but we can begin to assess last year’s draft. Unathletic will take a look at the 2009 Lotto picks and we’ll see, which team was the lottery winner….
