Breaking News: Crazy-assed Player Still Crazy

By Peter ⋅ January 24, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

oddSeth called for it, and it looked like it had happened a mere 5 hours later. But then Ron Artest recalled that he was batassed crazy and decided to rip shit up.

Jim Gray of ESPN, taking a break from napping in Kobe’s lap, had reported that the long held-up Artest trade had finally gone down, with the Pacers getting Sacramento’s Peja Stojakovich in return. However Gray is now reporting that, as of 6:11 pm CST anyway, Artest doesn’t want to live in Central California and play for the Maloofs. The trade is — insert your preferred adverb here — temporarilly/permanently/advisedly off.

Pacers head of basketball operations Larry Bird did not say but surely is thinking, “I’m gonna put a bullet in that crazy head of Artest’s.”
