Artest is just the right amount of crazy. It was really cool to watch when he played with Kobe. A really interesting combo.

[@icedawaaave3858]

⁠@@GoodfellasX21Unhinged lunatic? Are you sick in the head? You don’t throw a damn beer at someone during a game & expect them to brush it off with some yelling. You’re actually insane for that thought process. The elbow to the head of harden? Sure. But the malice at the palace was completely warranted given how extremely disrespectful fans got to the point where they’re drenching you with fucking alcohol during a game & throwing physical shit at you.

@@greg2797 Ron also had Shane battier so again Ron was dead aaa on point with his statement

[@JonDoe-p8k]

The best thing about this interview is Ron stresses practice. People don't under the amount of practice that goes into being great. Parents need to understand that if their kid isn't playing, it comes down to practice. The coaches will play the best guys. The cream always rises to the top.

[@marquesmurray]

In highschool that works about 70 percent. Travel or AAU, practice is irrelevant and performance is only kind of important. Things changed. I tell all the kids, find a coach that likes you, and work on your game outside of the team. But finding the coach is more important

[@younglove3362]

I started adding more into my practice at age 30. I was my best self at 31 and regret not practicing when I was 17. Seeing my game increase drastically was addicting. And practice is harder than the actual game, not just because it's boring.
