Pretty good funny columns by the Sports Guy. And before anyone doubts the story, remember Bill Simmons is really good friends with Rockets GM Daryl Morey.

The Artest story is under quote number 3

I always noticed when Grant and Mike talked about Artest, they would mention there was more going on behind the scenes than people knew about. I wonder if something like this happened here in Sacramento.

I can’t tell you how bad I want to change my sig line to:

“I’m not a homosexual or nothing like that, but Kobe had no clothes on.”

I can’t bring myself to actually do it, but that quote is priceless. Ron may be crazy, but sometimes he’s crazy funny. Word to the wise, if you’ve never listened to the clip of Ron’s “Snake Eggs” story from the Carmichael Dave show, do yourself a favor and track it down. It’s like looking into the face of God, and hearing him say “You are my most wonderous creation”.

… is that this was for Game 7 !!!!!!!!111

Ugh.

If you imagine a five-year-old in an NBA body. Tell me a five-year-old wouldn’t run out to the last bus in his underwear. Tell me he wouldn’t ask if he could take some time off from work to record a song. Tell me he wouldn’t run into the stands if someone threw a drink on him or forget to feed his dogs or make crazy videos.

Even the Kobe quote makes sense when you picture it coming from the mouth of a giggling kindergarden child. Ron-Ron’s only crazy if you expect him to have the emotional maturity of an adult.

That we didn’t make Artest the centerpiece around which to rebuild the team.
