The Other Side of Ron Artest

Our dear Ron-Ron told Marc Stein to "please recognize the other side of Ron Artest." I will oblige and print his further comments to Stein without comment.

"I am doing many positive things this summer. ... Me, Maurice Evans, Theo Ratliff and Etan Thomas are holding HIV babies and walking around in the slums where kids have no running water or electricity and no shoes on their feet, feeding rice and beans to kids.

"So it's hard to take my focus off of the poverty in Kenya right now, the continent where my ancestors were brought to America as slaves. I'm so happy to be in Africa helping, so whatever the NBA did to me and Stephen Jackson, I can't think about right now. I am happy to be in the NBA and looking forward to next season.

"I also encourage people to help the Feed The Children foundation and [founder] Larry Jones, because I see for my own eyes the impact it's having on poverty across the world."

Re: The Other Side of Ron Artest
Ron isn't a bad guy; he's just nuts. And if he's helping those kids to improve his image or out of sincere largesse or perhaps a little of both, they will never know the difference.

I'm kinda sick of trashing Ron. Let's either trade him or find a way to support him. (That I realize is not easy because, as I wrote earlier, the guy is kinda nuts.)

"Ron isn't a bad guy; he's just nuts."
Kusian, rarely has an individual be summed up so succinctly in less than 10 words. Nailed it.
