Ron Artest on Kobe Bryant Not Tweeting: “Does God tweet?”
I don’t need to tell you that Ron Artest quotes are pure nuggets of gold, but sometimes they just blow me away. He’s the equivalent of @RevRunWisdom, with hundreds of thousands of people eagerly awaiting his gospel. Today’s potent quotable concerns Ron’s teammate Kobe Bryant, and the two amazing performances he turned in last week after fracturing a bone in the middle finger of his shooting hand.
“When he’s hurt, you’re not allowed to ask him how he’s doing or you’re not allowed to ask him, ‘Are you OK?’” Artest said. “He gets really mad. Really. You think he’s playing. He’s really serious.
“I asked him a long time ago, ‘Do you speak to God, do you speak to Jesus?’ Some people are just on another level. Somebody asked me, ‘Does Kobe Bryant tweet?’ And I said, ‘Does God tweet?’ Because God is unbelievable.’”
There’s really nothing else I can say…

Being from the NYC. How much Kobe amazes Ron is something. Smush says the samething about how good Kobe’s game is in person. Same for L.O. he was in awe of Wade & Kobe. They say seeing them everyday in practice & in games will blow you away. Smush said Nash wasn’t fair with the Basketball in practice. That’s why Stevie took advantage of him in the Playoffs. Ron looks at Kobe from a defensive standpoint like how the heck do you guard,contain or stop this guy.
Ron has seen & played with hell of talented players from CYO,AAU,College, & summerball. NYC baseketball scene in its Golden Era was prestine basketball. Footage doesn’t do it any just. You had to be there watching or playing. I remember how many N.B.A. players Riverside Church and the L.I. Panthers produced. It’s was like N.B.A. games when they were in High School. I’m telling you guys the Lakers are missing Rafer Alston. Trade Farmar & Vujaic for Skip & T.Williams or C.Lee.
Real respects real. It’s the code we grow up playing by. After you face someone on the court or play with them. You have a mutual respect they’ve earned. They let you know you have some stuff to work on.
Kobe was on Power 105 the other day with Clue. That was pretty cool. Hey Ron & L.O. all you guys and Kobe are due out at Hunter Pro City/Tri-State/Dyckman. Bring Hollywood to the city for some games. The City will go nuts. L.O. needs to go back to his CK,Rhode Island, & early Clipper/Miami days & Ron mix in a little bit of your All Star yr. You guys will go undefeated the rest of the season and spoil the Celts raising another banner.

No matter how much people hate on Kobe, they HAVE TO respect his game . . . just curious how NBA History will look at Kobe once he’s gone from the game!
