i like sports....

...and i don't care who knows.

But i usually don't write about it. The only thing related to sports that i write about is Ron Artest. I think this is probably because i love Ron Artest. He likes to fight, talk a lot of nonsense, and play defense. Ron Artest is his own man. You can read the first of many things i plan to write about Ron Artest in an earlier post.

Here are three things you may not have heard about Ron Artest.

1: He is not above throwing shoes to gain a competitive advantage (you have to watch to the end).



As a particular press conference involving George Bush Jr. has illustrated, throwing shoes can be awesome, whether your adversary is a bunch of imperialist assholes...or it's Trevor Ariza.

2: He used to drink Hennessy at halftime of NBA games.
. Like I said, Ron Artest is his own man. However, Ron Artest is not a role model.

3: Ron Artest loves animals. He is a spokesman for PETA's spay and neuter campaign.



Perhaps he is a role model, in his own special way.

You can have your sports icons, i don't want them. Me? I like my sports figures with some swagger. Ron Artest thinks that in his own way he's a more valuable player than Kobe Bryant. Ron Artest wants to fight Ben Wallace. Ron Artest's dog's name is John Henry.

For these and several other reasons, i think that Ron Artest might be my favorite professional basketball player.

Whew!

In me news, i am applying to law school. If anyone ever discovers this shit, i will not be accepted to any of them.

A role model in my own special way,
