I always had a feeling that if the Lakers won a championship, a byproduct of that would be Ron Artest shooting up to super stardom. I must admit I didn’t know it would happen so fast and so soon, though.
His post game interviews have vaulted him from just sort of a crazy guy who plays basketball to instant pop culture sensation.
The best thing about Artest is that you can tell nothing is planned or orchestrated — he is just going with the flow. If you have followed Artest for any period of time, you know this isn’t anything brand new. This is a guy who took a part time job at Best Buy while he was playing in Chicago just to get the discounts.
He was on the George Lopez show, Lopez Tonight, last night to perform his song “Champion,” but I found this skit of him talking to his therapist to be hilarious and I wanted to share.
You can also check out his sit-down interview here (love the hat):
