agreed, though, they effed that team up real bad and didn't do enough to diffuse the "bad man artest" stereotype. stephen jackson doesn't strike me as a tim duncan model citizen type either, even though i kind of like how goofy he is.

i'm not totally sure what i'm saying here anymore, except that i understand how this year's artest saga could go down, and i would have done it totally different if i were either ron or a pacers exec; and that i'm pretty annoyed at maggette's foot for effing up what would have been the most brilliant trade in clippers history

instead it's more like the most brilliant trade in Kings history, where is the love for GEOFF PETRIE?

The love for Geoff Petrie will come in six weeks when the Kings are back in the playoff hunt.

"We're hungry. I know I am, as much as anybody else is. And you know Kobe is. Kobe's after something, I don't even know what it is. I think he's after stardom on Pluto or something," Artest said, taking off on one of his humorous tangents. "Pluto's not even a planet no more, which I'm very disturbed about. I grew up when Pluto was a planet. Now, I'm 25, I turn around and Pluto's no longer a planet. I'm going to elbow that guy in the nose. I love Pluto. Everybody loves Pluto. There's a dog named Pluto in the cartoons. I don't know how we got on that subject. We've got to see if we can get Pluto back."

Artest's 8-year-old daughter, Diamond, also plans to change her surname from Artest to World Peace now that her father's name change has become official.

:D :D :D

fuck, can he not be on the lakers?

Artest told Yahoo! Sports he plans to wear No. 70 next season, but the NBA has rules that prevent players from switching their uniform number from year to year. The deadline for a player to change his number is in early March to have it go into effect for the next season and once a number is changed, it has to be worn for five seasons with that team before a player is allowed to change it (unless he is traded to a new team or leaves as a free agent).

Artest wore No. 37 after signing on as a free agent with the Lakers in 2009-10 and did switch to No. 15 last season. It's not clear what he had to do to accomplish that.

The uniform rule does not come with any stipulations for a name change, however.

If there is a request or circumstance that calls for a number change within the five-year period is approved, it may come with a cost of some kind, according to a league source.

stern is such a fuckin gangster

About 9,280 results (0.20 seconds)

I expect this number to climb.

I love how articles are forced to refer to him by his new name:

"World Peace must now obtain a new driver's license and passport."
