As it turns out, we might be wrong. Ron Artest might be playing basketball in England.

Mirrored with Friday’s news that FIBA isn’t going to contest any clashing contract agreements between the NBA and its wandering players, it appears that Ron Artest may be nearing a deal with the Cheshire Jets of the British Basketball League. Why the Cheshire Jets aren’t named “the Cheshire Cats,” I don’t know. Why Artest is going…

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s “The Stack” with me, Nathan Stacken. Last blog post of the week and we have plenty on the NBA Draft and a few other interesting tidbits in “The Stack” so let’s get right to it:
1. Kyrie Irving, Derrick Williams go one, two.
The NBA Draft took [...]

Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest was suspended one game without pay today for a foul committed against Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea late in Game 2 last night. With 24.4 second left in the Mavericks 93-81 win last night, Artest essentially clotheslined Barea as the pint-sized guard handled the ball in the backcourt. Artest was immediately ejected (he had picked up a cheap technical[...]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ Ron Artest has not earned his reputation by keeping quiet. The controversial defender gave his opinion as to who he thinks are the best players in the NBA. In what may surprise many, neither LeBron James nor Dwyane Wade were on the list.

The Miami Heat has been the talk of the summer as Pat Riley was able to bring in James and Chris Bosh to team with Wade.[...]

As with most Ron Artest stories, I’m not really sure how to even approach this. So what I’ll do it let TMZ gives us the details of this and walk away. Quickly.

Law enforcement sources tell us Artest was cited because the registration on the car was expired. But get this — we’re told the car isn’t even registered to Ron … but somebody out in Tennessee…

Before I begin, I must announce that somebody has been going on the Italian Wikipedia and linking my 2007-2008 blog post about Tim Duncan being the greatest power forward ever. I’m not sure whether to say “thanks” or “what the hell?” Either or, sweet!
Last June I gave LA Lakers power forward Pau Gasol a little [...]

Demons have mystical powers. That comes with being a demon. Two years ago, one of Kobe Bryant’s demons strolled into the Lakers’ sullen Game 6 post-blow-out-title-loss locker room. The demon caught up with Kobe literally as Kobe was exiting the shower. After briefly surveying the disappointment and embarrassment on Kobe’s face, the demon [...]

I admit, as a Lakers fan, it’s hard not to be excited right now. After all, our “Lake Show” just dominated the hated Celtics in Game 1…in virtually every phase of the game.
Pau Gasol made Kevin Garnett look as if he were about as old and stale as one of the late great Red Aurbach’s [...]

The “All That”…

The Draft: You know how it works. Like all professional leagues in America, the NBA holds one every year. It’s designed, of course, to give the crappy teams leverage in the acquisition of new, young talent. The NBA relatively recently even injected a draft lottery, to supposedly keep said crappy teams from tanking [...]

He has the body and ferociousness of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park and the havoc-wreaking ability of The Incredible Hulk. Unfortunately, both of those creatures individually possess brains approximately double the relative size of “Ron Ron’s”.

He took (and missed) two of the dumbest shots in the history of basketball with less than a minute to play in Game 5 [...]
