Big fan of Metta/Ron, this interview brought me to the channel. Mad props to Metta, real og player. He was my man in the 00's. I miss when the NBA had ball players tough like him.

Just love the character of MWP. He was durable, tough and a hard ass. I know Kobe loved having you on his team. Total respect for each other. And that shot in the playoff game, iced the Laker history.. Thanks MWP
Ron ron! He got Mike's strong arms and hands. Kobe messed him up in 09 West semis and joined Kobe the following yr. That's how tough Kobe's is. Mike is tough but he got the superior anatomy than Kobe, that's made kobe even tougher. Because he knew he got an inferior anatomy than other NBA greats, but he just psychollogically superior than them.
@@shawnmarques7117of course that’s common knowledge, that’s what made Kobe so impressive considering he wasn’t a freak of nature like MJ but still dominated the game.
@@Mao-Digs-Escariote + pure, cold-blooded psychopathic killer in them. The more you tried to dish out pain to Mr. Jordan - he became more controlled yet stronger & more aggressive. A mental giant of the game.
He was one of one in his era. Before Jordan shooting guard wasn’t really considered a strong position. George Gavin & Pete Maravich were the only really high level SG’s before him. When Mike came in there was never a two guard with his attributes, the dogs were small Forwards & Centers. Here came Mike bigger, faster & stronger , more athletic than anyone had ever seen alone never mind the position. Only one close during his era was Clyde Drexler. So I can’t say that’s what separated him.
With you taking the game off you also affect and effect the chemistry and continuity of the game and your team mates, especially,if you are the attraction of the fans!
MJ- do the right thing and send this legend some J’s. C’mon. This man is a unicorn. Does nothing but give you respect, yet keeps it real. How can you not show real appreciation for that?
Like “Game” once said “Ron Artest Plays Better for the West” those bars at the time was how I recognized his talent as a youth seeing him go from Indy rockets and to LA
Perk going down in game 6 and havin Ron Artest on the Lakers was the difference in the 2010 nba finals. It also didn’t help that KG was a shell of his former self.
I’m from QB so it pains me to say this but I think Ron didn’t go after Ben Wallace because he felt his strength with that push so he was afraid of him.
Thanks for your honesty. I'm from the Bronx. Grew up in the 70s and 80s. Most fights back then started out with " watchu gonna do?".....then the hesitation.....then the PUSH. Believe me that PUSH determines what your next move will be. Just talking from experience. Also Ben kept coming forward, Ron never made no attempt to come forward.
If you are old enough to have seen it live and watched the aftermath on espn et, they really did edit it to look like Artest just flipped out over nothing. They didn't show the build up, they just showed the brawl.
Sadly we ain’t got players anymore that make their bones on the cement top Rags to Riches style. Now all the youths try to jump to AAU Ball to the NBA without that Experience from playground Ball that’s rough and rowdy
In today's all star game these players are not in it for the fun and competition of the game. The all Star game to me is like practice or watching the Harlem Globe Trotters. It's like they are just going through the motions, know what I mean? They are a bunch of babies or just coming into puberty. Can't understand it. It's all about the fiat, we'll play for your fiat and for the love of the game. They don't play for the love of the game showing their skills and who is the best or dominant player. It's like when my nephews played pee wee basketball at the end of the season everyone gets a trophy even those on the losing team, hell they didn't even keep score! C'mon people you are not building character in your child, most of them are being turned into zombies!
Even though Metta says he has a good relationship with John Green the fan who threw the water/ soda on him. That was not who he went after initially. He initially went after some dude who was about 5'6" 130 lbs.. John Green is over 6 feet 200 lbs plus and was standing behind the " little" guy.
Byron stop spreading cap kawhi did not create load management pop had the spurs load management before kawhi got there. Also once kawhi was injured by JAJA that’s when he load managed . So just stop it.

Metta is a HOF to me.
You are probably wrong
He definitely is a hof.
Artest was strong as well, but quick for his size. Artest has great stories I'd wager.
Metta speaks truth and is very articulate. Love this guy!

S/0 Metta best interview by far on this podcast...Riverside BQE💪🏾💯
I'm really happy to see Ron Artest is in a good space
Truth every bit of it. Nba needs to hear the voices of these vets
An amazing interview 🔥♥️💯
Un grande ron artest daba miedo verlo jugar

MJ had bigger hands than Kobe and a higher Vertical leap.
@@shawnmarques7117of course that’s common knowledge, that’s what made Kobe so impressive considering he wasn’t a freak of nature like MJ but still dominated the game.
Entertaining the fans is more important to the NBA than the players/teams competing.
There's been players taller, shorter, faster, stronger than MJ... But what seperates him is his mindset.
Depends do those taller stronger faster players have championships mvps and set milestones??
yeah they are taller, faster and stronger but they are not efficient and do not have the gloves, dont have 48in vertical.

You mean besides the fact MJ was just a better all around player than anyone else.
I love the easy run story at the end
With you taking the game off you also affect and effect the chemistry and continuity of the game and your team mates, especially,if you are the attraction of the fans!
So much fun
MJ- do the right thing and send this legend some J’s. C’mon. This man is a unicorn. Does nothing but give you respect, yet keeps it real. How can you not show real appreciation for that?
Shout to Ron Ron
Like “Game” once said
“Ron Artest Plays Better for the West”
those bars at the time was how I recognized his talent as a youth seeing him go from Indy rockets and to LA
Perk going down in game 6 and havin Ron Artest on the Lakers was the difference in the 2010 nba finals. It also didn’t help that KG was a shell of his former self.
49:42 I was with the Lakers for 20 years I never saw it
Ron Artest: I don’t know what that is 😂
ACCURATE! 💀
Need them time stamps
Below the description dawg
Ron Artest 🔥
I’m from QB so it pains me to say this but I think Ron didn’t go after Ben Wallace because he felt his strength with that push so he was afraid of him.
Thanks for your honesty. I'm from the Bronx. Grew up in the 70s and 80s. Most fights back then started out with " watchu gonna do?".....then the hesitation.....then the PUSH. Believe me that PUSH determines what your next move will be. Just talking from experience. Also Ben kept coming forward, Ron never made no attempt to come forward.
Most definitely,Ron didn't want that-SMOKE !!! LOL.
14:15 he actually blamed editing on the brawl. He actually did it.
If you are old enough to have seen it live and watched the aftermath on espn et, they really did edit it to look like Artest just flipped out over nothing. They didn't show the build up, they just showed the brawl.
@@bedford4383 Right. Old enough. Age is the issue here lmao
" 3 steps is a travel !! " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One thing about QB cats they always pay homage to that hood. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Sadly we ain’t got players anymore that make their bones on the cement top Rags to Riches style. Now all the youths try to jump to AAU Ball to the NBA without that Experience from playground Ball that’s rough and rowdy
What separates him was he was one of the first marketable with all the tangibles
hilarious
1:04:40 sadly this didnt age well T_T
🌍 ☮️
Big respect for him
JORDAN GOATEST THATS EVER BEEN GOATED

20 years with the lakers,who the hell is this guy? Lakers janitor
Causal
Thanks Ron for screwing the pacers out of that chip
That lakers finals pick didn’t age well 😂
Even though Metta says he has a good relationship with John Green the fan who threw the water/ soda on him. That was not who he went after initially. He initially went after some dude who was about 5'6" 130 lbs.. John Green is over 6 feet 200 lbs plus and was standing behind the " little" guy.
Exactly. And didn’t do nothing to Ben Wallace either.
I remember he being a dirty player, a good, but very dirty player
!
Yhea we missed the real NBA men, too bored to watch now
Sorry can't agree on LeBron...
Bruh nobody really cares if you do or don’t 🤷♂️ people would feel the same way about Kobe
@@johnjovanovichwick4194 seems you care...
@@sentokigames151 no like nobody cares 🤷♂️
@@johnjovanovichwick4194 and you keep telling me that but it seems u care sinds you have the need to tell me this. Go to bed little boy.
Hmm I think imma trust Metta on this one. How many years did you play in the NBA?
This podcast is boring! Just pumping the lakers, magic, suck up to kobe and michael..... get some new ideas!
Don’t watch hater.
@@OriginalRizz-JxR what do you expect. his profile pic is LeTrash that's why he is mad. haha
Byron stop spreading cap kawhi did not create load management pop had the spurs load management before kawhi got there. Also once kawhi was injured by JAJA that’s when he load managed . So just stop it.
You’re tripping, Kawhi took load management to a whole new level. Showed the stars how much control they actually have over coaches and ownership
@@mateoschmidt5888definitely, Kawhi destroyed his own legacy.
