Damn its so tight having Ron on the Lakers. I love when he flexes haha. He's such a beast. These guys have great chemistry. Lets go! The 3-Peat was destiny!
These two guys together on the wings? DAMN!!! Who you gonna guard? How you gonna score? Two hard working warriors! If he gets the same looks as Trevor did, Ron will KILL this league. Lakers on track for the back to back!
I've heard stories of even the best of friends who NEVER ever had an argument or fight before...until they stepped on the court and played against each other. These are two competitive and talented players who have much respect for each other on and off the court. I'm sure they made up after that 'scuffle'.
You have no idea how good Bynum was before his injuries. He could've been one of the top centers in the league. He was putting 20-10 numbers. He's young and only gonna get better.
congrats with getting ron artest...it pissed me off, since i'm a cavs fan, not being able to get him or ariza, but still.. hopefully it will be lakers-cavs in the finals. la's probably gonna win with that INSANE star-studded team, but it will be fun
They are friends but they go at it and even had a shoving match in a recent game. MJ said Artest was one of the toughest and strongest players he ever played against..remember Artest is the guy who injured MJ when MJ was preparing for his comeback attempt.
The reason the Lakers is so successful because they got three of the best Big men Bynum, Gasaul, and Odom. Also the best shooters Kobe, Fisher, Artest.
Lakers will Repeat 2010! Keep in mind that this wont be like the Kobe & Shaq Duo. It will be intersting to see how they will all play now as a unit. Ron Artest is not afraid of anyone, I have to say that his main focus would be to play defense. Thats whatTrevor Ariza brought from the Majic - Dfense. Cant wait till Regular Season starts! #1 LA Lakers Fan!!!
Or when the Lakers got Rodman despite Magic and West being against it. Remember how that turned out? Lakers after going on an 11 game winning streak started losing and Rodman started showing up late and challenging the coach till one day he was fired on the spot after coming in late with no shoes.
After the Houston-Lakers series, I thought their friendship broke down lol. And I heard some rumors about Ron Artest teaching Dantay Jones to guard Kobe in the WCF lol.
that would be amazing. If ron is willing to take a pay cut though. Bynum will probably get a big contract this offseason. Maybe not resigning Mihm would help.
wow.... im impressed with ron artests interview....... he may have a life after he retires. he didnt put kobe on blast or nit pick at bullshit that normally piss someone off.
I'm a LA native Laker fan and I'm not happy about Artest on the Lakers. I think the Lakers are the Lakers because the organization demands a certain amount of class from players and I don't think Artest makes the bar at all.
yh the rockets r surprising widout yao and tracey , i fink the best fing 2 do is 2 build around aaron brooks , schola , ariza , ariza got star quality , brooks can b scary , schola is yur energy guy hardworker , ands battier is important aswel and also dey need 2 get yao back as soon as possible , but as for tmac i feel is days r outnumbered in rocket colours wont b surprised if he gets traded during all star
itll work! anybody can play w. kobe if they accept a role, ron artest is willing to sacrifice his game, he;l get as many minutes, but will not be an offesive threat rarther than a desfensive. plus he can do things ariza can, and maybe even better,

Damn its so tight having Ron on the Lakers. I love when he flexes haha. He's such a beast. These guys have great chemistry. Lets go! The 3-Peat was destiny!

I met ariza back in high school. and i knew when i saw him play that he was gonna be a great mark in the nba.
hell yeah
he's one of my fav players
"im looking forward to playing against you"
"i was like damn kobe's about to give me 50"
lmfao
Best interview ever . They both happy
They are just like brothers these two ... fight, make up, hug ... the little brother looking to the big brother for approval ...
much respect to Ron good defense and even MJ said he wishes he had the chance to vs him
they have a great friendship going on thats really nice
These two guys together on the wings? DAMN!!! Who you gonna guard? How you gonna score? Two hard working warriors!
If he gets the same looks as Trevor did, Ron will KILL this league. Lakers on track for the back to back!
RON AND KOBE= UNSTOPPABLE

best interview ever
I love them both. Really
lol love ron artest. He's so good and funny and crazy.
ron ron and kobe i wanna see this
they seem cool with each other and boy is artest humble ahha

Yeah we got Ron now and we gonna be a DYNASTY!
You have no idea how good Bynum was before his injuries. He could've been one of the top centers in the league. He was putting 20-10 numbers. He's young and only gonna get better.
I would love to see the reaction of a Rockts fan when they heard the news!!! Welcome to Cali Ron!!!
Mutual respect!
Artest wanna play in LA with US!!! Hopefully he opts out and come to LA we need his toughness big time!!!
wow artest is a cool dude... he laughs through the entire interview.
Imma miss Trevor but im so excited we got Ron Artest!!!
hail kobe and artest!!!
ron artest and kobe bryant will shine in the playoffs. houston and the lakers are contenders.
its evident they don't hate each other, not a "rivalry" like Kobe and Allen or Kobe and Raja Bell.
Ron`s soo nervous its so cute!
congrats with getting ron artest...it pissed me off, since i'm a cavs fan, not being able to get him or ariza, but still.. hopefully it will be lakers-cavs in the finals. la's probably gonna win with that INSANE star-studded team, but it will be fun
AWEsome handshake at the end.
That was great.
i still want to see ron artest in purple and gold
They are friends but they go at it and even had a shoving match in a recent game. MJ said Artest was one of the toughest and strongest players he ever played against..remember Artest is the guy who injured MJ when MJ was preparing for his comeback attempt.
Yeah, it's kinda sad for me, a Lakers fan, too, to think that that old Kings team is almost(?) completely gone now.
kobe,d-fish,ron,LO,pau,bynum
RIP 29 other teams
Im a big laker fan but I would love to have more players like Artest on our team. Never say never attitudes. We could sure use him.
WELCOME TO LA RON RON!!!!
Welcome to L.A. Ron Ron!!!!!
I can tell in this video, that Ron really looked up to Kobe....
Come to LA Ron-Ron!
Kobe + Artest = Best perimeter defense in the league.
Who else is here from all the smoke?
The reason the Lakers is so successful because they got three of the best Big men Bynum, Gasaul, and Odom. Also the best shooters Kobe, Fisher, Artest.
2010 championship goal accomplished let's get another one
they have 1 more gm against 1another on april 3rd u better believe KOBE is gonna CRUSH ron. Mark my words
ron best defender in the league.
oohh yeah baby!
Lakers will Repeat 2010!
Keep in mind that this wont be like the Kobe & Shaq Duo.
It will be intersting to see how they will all play now as a unit.
Ron Artest is not afraid of anyone, I have to say that his main focus would be to play defense. Thats whatTrevor Ariza brought from the Majic - Dfense.

Wow! I didnt see this before...awesome!
Kobe Bryant, Muhammad Ali and Michael Jackson....luuuuv these guys!
LeBron should interview Kobe, but that takes lots and lots and lots of humility.
Kobe and Ron together plus Odom Yeah!! Dang REPEAT!!!!
Your right Kobe and derek are the leaders.
they are both in purple and gold!
Ron Artest is crazy. Love him. Well i'm not saying that cuz of this inteview but becuz i know.
After the Houston-Lakers series, I thought their friendship broke down lol. And I heard some rumors about Ron Artest teaching Dantay Jones to guard Kobe in the WCF lol.
It's ok for Artest to be cool with Kobe just because Artest plays for the Kings. Artest wasn't part of the Lakers-Kings rivalry back in the day
Im still waiting for T-Mac to be 100% healthy and have a complete season. Just you wait bro.
Yup!
we got Artest baby...Repeat
Ron Artest come to the lakers next year!
I just died a little inside...lost respect for Artest right about now. GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!
I think when Ron did the thorat gesture the ref thought he was making a threat...
there's a difference between kissing up and just having a legitimate respect for a player.
that would be amazing. If ron is willing to take a pay cut though. Bynum will probably get a big contract this offseason. Maybe not resigning Mihm would help.
I'd love Ron Artest to join Lakers but I wouldn't want to give up Lamar for him.
wow.... im impressed with ron artests interview....... he may have a life after he retires. he didnt put kobe on blast or nit pick at bullshit that normally piss someone off.
looks like ron is interviewing kobe
Look for Maggette and Artest to try and relocate to the Spurs in 2008-2009 season
True True and Shannon Brown, and Adam Morrison. They will win over 70 games.
RON RON!!!!! as a kings fan...i dont know what to say..a kings player cool with a lakers player? goddamn
great point. i think his name is Mitch though.
amagine kobe artez and yao ming damm that champion
My two favorite ballers of all time. Please LA, trade for ARtest! Kobe + Artest + Gasol = omfg great!
I have the same shirt as Kobe!
yea you right a like lamar so idk what to do cause i would like ron wit us
I don't think Artest would settle for the MLE to play with us. Even though they're friends, players still want to make the big bucks.
yeahhhh true true
You can tell these guys like each other. Ron said he'd play for the Lakers for nothing and that Kobe was his idol. He proved he want's lying.
Then again T-Mac always keep the ROCKETS afloat by himself even without Yao.
its kind of wierd how teamates interview eachother.
your wish just came true
Damn, Artest looks star-struck.
yeah!! odom is definitely back for the repeat!!
Artest + Kobe
(Pippen + Jordan) XD
I'm a LA native Laker fan and I'm not happy about Artest on the Lakers. I think the Lakers are the Lakers because the organization demands a certain amount of class from players and I don't think Artest makes the bar at all.
no no no ur not ready fo rme kobe
cool!
At the end Ron says "Lebron is one of my favorite players AFTER you" So, him favoring L.A. over Cleveland was obvious.
yh the rockets r surprising widout yao and tracey , i fink the best fing 2 do is 2 build around aaron brooks , schola , ariza , ariza got star quality , brooks can b scary , schola is yur energy guy hardworker , ands battier is important aswel and also dey need 2 get yao back as soon as possible , but as for tmac i feel is days r outnumbered in rocket colours wont b surprised if he gets traded during all star
Hahaha! Pushing DWade hard in preparation for kobe... That's so so funny, and so so true!
"They put me on you, and you torched me too"
Haha Ron.
i love being a laker fan
itll work! anybody can play w. kobe if they accept a role, ron artest is willing to sacrifice his game, he;l get as many minutes, but will not be an offesive threat rarther than a desfensive. plus he can do things ariza can, and maybe even better,
Yeah Gasol but maybe Bynum though, maybe. He has to prove himself and he's injury proned. Let's see if he's going to play a whole season next season.
rockets to the championship
best defense in the league
best big three in da league
best role players in da league, shane and luis and rafaer
