With the Stephen Jackson saga rolling on just a few hundred miles north of Los Angeles, you knew it was only a matter of time before new-Laker Ron Artest emerged to give his thoughts on the matter.
Words of Wisdom From Ron Artest
↵Much of his analysis is in our story stream here, as Ron draws a parallel to Kobe Bryant’s trade demand a few years ago. But this quote, in particular, deserves to shine on its own. Yahoo’s Marc Spears provides the context:
↵
↵While Stephen Jackson’s talent and versatility as a basketball player aren’t questioned, his latest run-in with Nelson won’t help his trade value. … Artest said Jackson shouldn’t be worried about that.
↵"It depends on what God thinks about you," Artest said. "That is what Steve always tells me and what I’ve always told him. What does God think about you? Not what [NBA commissioner] David Stern think about you. What does God think about you? Not what does Pepsi-Cola think about you or corporate America or suburban America think about you? Not what the ticketholders think about you. What does God think about you?"

↵Note: as is often the case with people who invoke religion to rationalize bizarre, impulsive behavior, Ron Artest is probably crazy, but definitely entertaining.
