Back in high school I used to mess around in class and imagine scripts for a fictional, Real World-type show starring a bunch of athletes. It would have involved six or seven of the craziest athletes in sports, and at least one awkward white guy to completely throw off the chemistry. Like, Allen Iverson, Ron Artest, Manny Ramierez, Randy Moss, Floyd Mayweather, and... Someone like Mike Dunleavy, Jr.
Well It’s About Damn Time: Ron Artest To Star In Forthcoming Reality Show
↵Think Dave Chappelle’s Mad Real World, but with more hangers-on and disposable income.
↵Anyway, the cast usually rotated as new crazy athletes emerged, and others receded. But always—always always always—Ron Artest was the centerpiece. In a group, or by himself... The man has deserved a reality show for years, and now it’s finally coming to fruition:
↵
↵The bad boy NBA player is to develop and produce the “They Call Me Crazy” show with E1 Entertainment and Tijuana Entertainment.
↵The series will document the ups and downs of Artest’s life, allowing him to “make amends for past transgressions,” according to E1 Entertainment, and help develop aspiring musicians through his hip-hop label, Tru Warier, to be supported by E1 Music.
↵
↵Just one request, though: Can Ron’s brother be included? Just this morning, he tweeted:
↵
↵I'm tired of these LA fans. Damn. Get over it. I said what I said. About 94% of LA fans are f—s anyway.
↵
↵94%, huh? A pretty exact figure. How’d he come up with it? On Ron’s reality show, we’ll find out!
