Reebok Still Talkin’ Quote Of The Day – 10.22
For today’s Reebok Still Talkin’ Quote of the Day we turn to arguably the most controversial player in the NBA, Ron Artest. Everyone knows Artest is never afraid to speak his mind and makes an impact on his team on and off the court. What no one can agree on is what his impact will be with the Lakers.
Some think his eccentric behavior will ruin the champions’ chemistry and crush any hopes of repeating. While others think Artest is an upgrade over Trevor Ariza and that Phil Jackson can work his Zen magic to keep Ron Ron focused enough to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Artest has never been one to bite his tongue and had this to say about the 2009-2010 Lakers”
“Anybody who has studied the history of basketball, this has got to be probably one of the best teams put together.”
There is no question that this team is stacked with talent, but saying this is one of the best teams put together in the history of basketball seems like a stretch. People can’t even agree if this is the best team (on paper) in the NBA right now with the Celtics, Spurs, Magic and Cavs all making improvements this summer. We all will just have to wait and see what this season brings for the Lakers, and until then, we can just chalk this up as Ronnie be Ronnie.

I loved the last couple years, when various Dime posters thought that the Celtics and the Lakers would be the best teams, record wise, in history (beating out the Bulls).
Anyone want to come clean and admit that they, like Ron-Ron, made a mistake?

best quote: Tmac-”I can give it to you any kinda way, so how do you want it?”
Think he said this in the nba ankle breakers video that had marbury’s terrible hosting. the camera’s would switch and marbury would still be looking the other way. classic.
