Metta “Ron” Artest Reveals His Favorite Thing About Kobe Bryant

[@erikjansen8597]

I don't know about other Laker fans, but I have to admit. When Ron took that shot at the end of the game, I yelled out "No!". Then it went in, and I was overjoyed. Thank you Metta! You are one of my favorites.

[@1776carpediem]

I was too, I’ll never forget it. He let that fly and I said out loud “nooo” and it sailed in. Game 7 was a messy game for everyone but Artest nailed that. If he missed it would have probably been over for us.

[@isaiahpavia-cruz678]

That was me with Metta’s shot, and Fisher’s layup in Game 3 😂

[@AngelMartinez-tt1hc]

Same here! I was dumbfounded at the fact that he had the audacity to take that shot... but he made it! Haha so crazy

[@601JohnnyRingo]

Facts

[@capitanawesome44]

Game 7 was train wreck w endless damage. Traumatic but reason we watch sports. It was poetic that the ugliest outside jumper on our team would be dagger in the ugliest game all season.

[@Me-sm9qk]

And he never average 25ppg when he was in houston in lakers vs houston in 2009 playoffs he was 15ppg kobe cook them and shane because kobe average 32ppg in that series and the prime defender is shane and him. I used to love metta but i think this story he just making up he just using kobe now

[@Chill_Brill]

​@Me-sm9qk Respect Artest for hitting that 3 in game 7 but Lakers should of kept Ariza they would have been better off

[@terrencewilliams4355]

Damn you dived in the rabbit hole to get this

[@704chevygang]

4:14 marks tells you exactly how Phil’s offense works. Kobe always stayed in the flow so he was always ready to shoot hit or miss. Ron didn’t understand that until he figured it out. That’s when his points went up.

[@wtfu5650]

Wow that's a really good analysis bro.. When I think back to watching him play, he was always moving... Like he was ALWAYS involved

[@uncleswoophouse1620]

Ron Artest was garbage on the lakers, krazy how he got this made up story on how he was still good but kobe didn't pass it to him basically? This man is a 🤡

The craziest thing I’ve seen is Artest swing his elbow and connecting right on Harden’s temple. Straight up gave him a concussion on the hardwood.

Hard shit to swallow, Jim buss could have hired Phil instead of Da notonie , pretty sure Phil could have won with Kobe gasol Howard Nash peace, Kobe never would have suffered that injury under Phil due to less minutes and working from the post , Howard wouldn’t have been rushed back from that back injury.

I would understand how the top athletes worked out really early in the day during the off-season. But during the season, man that is hard. Coming off a game that ended at night, then wake up early to start practicing at 5:30 am. I did hear Kobe mention that he deprived himself of sleep to keep that pace.

[@kaksmirknight5318]

Hey Ron, you say Kobe should just Let it Naturally that's why he didn't get number 6 ring. You bums got the chance in 2013 NBA playoffs. What happened dawg? He dragged you to the playoffs right! So what happened to you and the Lakers with out him due to achilles? Swept by Spurs. That's so natural. See, the Dallas team in 2011 won because you got some teammates who doesn't know how to adjust that's what Pjax said in his exit interview in 2011. Plus why are you not mentioning the real deal? The dum du. Son of Dr. BUZZ announced like the 3rd game of the hornets searies that they won't bring back Pjax no matter what the outcome of the playoffs. Same man, who chose D antoni over Pjax in 2012. Stop making excuses. The life from that Lakers squad got sucked out that's what Fish said in 2011. Kobe just continued to play hard even he got severe left ankle sprain and deteriorating knees. Jeez! Good thing I'm not a sucker for revisionist.
