This guy is a real peice of work. He wants to take a month off to make an album and rest. This guy has to be joking. This guy should be cut, he obviously doesn't wanna play.

This guy is a real peice of work. He wants to take a month off to make an album and rest. This guy has to be joking. This guy should be cut, he obviously doesn't wanna play.No he isn't for real...He is crazy..Look into his eyes that is a crazy muthaf*cka. I don't know why Ball players want to be rappers when rappers really want to be ball players...He is just crazy and needs some psycological counseling...

I'm a Pacers fan - we dealt Al Harrington and kept Ron Artest. Either other owners were wary of signing this crazyman or our front office is just stupid.

He just needs attention. Sad thing is that he's arguably the best defender in the league with an improving offensive arsenal who could really be a franchise player. Once he gets his head right he'll dominante even more. If he ever gets it right that is...

Artest is a great person and a team player. I think it's ok to be a quitter.

So the guy doesnt want to play everyday? Maybe hes tired and needs a day off. Who cares if hes part of a team and gets paid 10 million a year.

He should be released.

From Celizic on msnbc:

"The reason he’s making so much money at the tender age of 24 and the reason anyone would even care about his musical efforts or the clothing line he’s designing is because he’s a really good basketball player. He seems to think it’s the other way around and that he is a fabulously talented artist."

As Sick Boy said in Trainspotting: beautifully f***ing illustrated.

artest is starting to believe his own bul****. if he were to put out an album why not do it in the offseason. asking for a month off during the season is ridiculous even for artest.did any body see the excuses he was making on sportscenter (i think thats where is seen it)he was actually serious.btw has anyone heard him rap? i know nas thanked him on his album I'AM in the booklet.

....lol lol lol

Hey, Ricky's not a quitter anymore now that he knows it will cost him 8 mil.

You also forgot Allen Iverson.

I agree with whoever said that the Pacers should have dealt Artest instead of Harrington. Al was a monster in Indiana at times.

I've heard Artest rap and he's quite poor. He's from Queensbridge so Nas and other QB natives have given him shoutouts and stuff.

The Ricky Williams thing was also hilarious.

Artest is sick like Tyson is sick.

He has all the talent in the world, but he's just a flat out head case.

So the guy doesnt want to play everyday? Maybe hes tired and needs a day off. Who cares if hes part of a team and gets paid 10 million a year.

Whats wrong with getting paid 10 million for screwing someone for a year? I don't see any problem with that.
