Ron Artest: “Brandon Roy Is The Best Player I’ve Played Against”

This morning I got a text message from my buddy Craig Gilden. The fact that we went to college in Portland and he’s from Houston has made this first week of the playoffs amazing from him. All his text said was this: “please tell me u have seen artests interview and are currently trying to find mike chapps for an exclusive.” You’ll know what he’s talking about after you watch this clip.


Other than the fact that he says B-Roy is best player he’s faced, Artest also manages to say Charles Barkley was a little overrated and claims Michael Jordan wished he could have faced him in his prime. Wow.

    all fundamentals = boring = rings
    but you keep you thug players like iverson and capt jack ill keep the rings.

    artest is awesome “charles is overrated” lol. chuck was laughing but that was because he was on tv you can beat dude wanted to say something.

    doug
    which is it charles now made fun of the statements by artest and hes right but when he talks spurs or bron hes an idiot??? take a side damn. i can bet that there are some players out there that can be better than mj so give that a rest (remember the movie manigault he didnt make it did he hehehehe).
    he didnt single out one player he just said roy is the best he guards them doesnt he? so why cant he say what he wants. if d howard says that the best post player hes ever played against is garnett i couldnt care less.

    bulls celts damnnnnnnnn
    that garnett look after the loss priceless.

    He said Barkley was Overrated because he didnt play no D.Being from Philly,he DIDN’T play no D.He said B-Roy was the best player HE played against.Who cares if u on Kobe’s dick thats what this man thinks.He said Roy D was suspect but on O he’s the one.And guess what Kobe dickriders,hes up there.And its plenty of dudes that got booked before they got that shot.@Doug-U dont just get a bail for anything.Anytime somebody give somebody else props besides Kobe u have a fit.Let me find out u wishing u was that hotel worker in Colorado.

    Let me break it down for all of you who thinks there are players out there better than MJ, Kobe, Lebron but never made it to the NBA:

    1. You have to have talent.

    Sure there might be people out there with just as much as talent.

    2. You have to be hardworking as hell to continuously improve your game.

    The guys who went to jail were the guys that were out there causing trouble instead of working on their game. It’s why they weren’t spotted. They didn’t bother to show up to school or games. They used their talent to show off on the streets.

    In the end, that’s all it is…talent. It doesn’t make you the next MJ or Kobe or Bird or Magic. The only lazy player who got to the top was Shaq, who is a different story entirely.

    I’m sorry, but there ARE guys who never made it to the pros who would have torn the league to pieces. Unlike Doug who thinks that “if you have talent, they’ll make a way for you..”, I’ve seen plenty of players as an example of this. To take comparisons to Jordan as a baseline, what about Len Bias? He destroyed Jordan several times in college, and there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t have gone on destroying him in the pros if he hadn’t died.

    Hey Doug you dumb ass cracker, Roy could of scored more if he wanted too so shut the fuck up. why does it piss you off if Ron said Roy was the best player he ever played against? Is it because it’s not your favorite player that he doesn’t mention. He’s not saying he’s better than Lebron and Kobe he simply saying that Roy was harder to gaurd. Maybe it’s because He can’t read Roy as well as he could read Lebron and Kobe. And everybody needs to stop bashing on players and saying that they ain’t good and shit, because they obviously good because there in the nba…
