Allright, I agree that Artest definitely has some issues, and the rap thing was bullshit. Personally (and I know this is liable to spark heated debate), I never really blamed him for the fight. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was definitely handled wrong, no doubt, but c'mon, people forget that these guys are human, and while it may not have been the thing to do, I think people were way too harsh on him.
The fact of the matter is Ron Artest is a damn good ballplayer and he definitely wants to win every single game. I've always been adamantly against team-breakers, but I don't think Artest qualifies. I just don't. I think it's a good move by the Kings.
But I could be proved so badly wrong.
