  • When you think of Ron Artest, you think of the name changes. The different hairstyles. The rap album. The on-court antics. And, of course, the Malice At The Palace.
    But before all of that, before winning Defensive Player of The Year, before redeeming himself with an NBA championship, or even working at Circuit City during his rookie season, he was a kid from one of the roughest neighbourhoods in New York City, who made it out despite constant obstacles being put in front of him.

    Artest had his ups and downs but through it all he has been a beacon for the tireless crusade on mental health. I grew up watching his progression in and out of the league and to see that he is being a supporter for this is an awesome thing...

    Beautiful career. He had his ups and downs... ultimately a champion on the court and off the court with mental health advocacy

    Artest’s contributions to the Laker’s 2010 championship is so undervalued. People act like it was Kobe, Pau and a bunch of scrubs, which is far from the truth.

    • @mentok3027
      @mentok3027 Před 2 lety +2

      As a Celtics fan I must agree. It was more Pau and Artest killing us in that series than Kobe. Metta hit the dagger, and his defense on Pierce was huge. He had the versatility to guard Ray, Paul or KG at a high level.

    The great Kobe not having grudges. He knew that having Artest will make the team tougher and it paid off with another champion ship. Too bad the Dirk and the Mavs has different plans sweeping them the following year. Could've been an awesome threepeat without Shaq.

    • @mentok3027
      @mentok3027 Před 2 lety

      Kobe was the perfect teammate to kinda reign him in at that point in his career. You had other star wings of the time who were clearly better than Ron like Pierce, Lebron, etc. but Lebron didn't have the seniority, and Pierce didn't have that larger than life aura around him to keep him in check. They still would have had to get through OKC which is no easy task. Artest probably had as good a chance as anyone at slowing down Durant though. It would be a major strength mismatch, and he could certainly fuck with him mentally/scare the shit out of him. Or just do what he did to Harden!

    His college coach acting crazier than Artest to calm him down is one of the most genius personality management tactics I have ever heard of from a coach

  • @dandrespruill1165
    @dandrespruill1165 Před 2 lety

    I would say NBA player ron artest knows how to play hoops. He is also plays basketball with an attitude and his defensive plays are ridiculous. You should know that basketball is played with street mentality. The league is usually goes with tryouts and has plenty of journeyman. Pickup games can give you exposure and unlike wrestling they aren't flashy or use catchphrases in the game.

    I saw him elbowing and punching people for no reason late in his career (in Italy and China when he was preaching about mental health issues). But I never saw him apologize to htem or for his behaviour. I had both depression and anxiety and I never punched people because of that neither did I had enough money to see as many doctors and be celebrated because I talked about my problems.
