Lots of good stuff in the interview by Andrew Nicholson of the Kings.com blog, including this key lesson about the disposition of primates.
Jane Goodall is rolling over in her
Seriously, though: Kudos to Ron. Many, many NBA players do stuff like this in the summer (Kevin Martin is leaving on a Basketball Without Borders trip in a few weeks), but Ron made time for a second trip, this time to Honduras. He may be a black hole, he may be borderline insane. But he's trying to do something right, and he should be commended. Even if he likes to eat ostrich balls.
UPDATE: The worldly J.C. Ness takes Andrew and Ron to task for their respective lack of Kenya knowledge. Am I slow because I breezed through the interview without sneezing at the (now obviously questionable) misfirings? No, I'm just easily distracted by shiny things ostrich balls.

My only real issue with Artest is a product of the following factors:
1 - He is a value at $7.8 million this year.
2 - He is almost a lock to opt out of his $8.4 million for next year.
3 - It is very likely that at least 1 of the other 29 NBA teams would offer him a multi-year deal if he opts out at the end of the season.
4 - He still has not gone a year without some sort of drama that impacts his on court availability, including the upcoming season (1st 7 games, hello).
So, if you're the Kings, would you feel comfortable extending Ron-Ron for 3-5 years? My opinion (worth less than 2 cents on open NASDAQ trading today) is no. It does not mean that we have to give him away, as he will almost assuredly be gone at the end of the season. But if a trade comes along offering young talent and/or draft picks I think you have to take it, as the history on Artest makes it impossible to invest in him.
There is a lot to like (and not like) about Ron Artest. But I think that the Kings will have to cut ties with him as opposed to taking a serious financial risk on him.

I lived there for a year, and was never drunk enough to try these - how much alcohol is required to put a guy in the mood to eat testicles?

Second item listed under "Other Items". When he visits SoCal, he usually buys a big jar of them. When I was a kid, he's store them in our outside fridge - it looked like a jar you'd see in the autopsy room. Eggs and peppers soaking in a slightly greenish, foul smelling liquid...yummy!

Yeah, I know it's not even close to relevant but all this monkey talk led my mind straight to Ricky Bobby...shows you just how immature, unfocused, and truly bored I am at 8:38 AM.
Re: Ron-Ron Just Knows What He Likes
I'm waiting to act like Ricky Bobby though, cause I don't have the accent down yet.
