Artest picks up slack for Bryant: The Lakers rested guard Kobe Bryant on Thursday at Denver, which allowed forward Ron Artest to take on more of a scoring load. [1]

Add in his 72 percent career mark from the stripe, and there might be more problems than solutions for Artest this season. [3]

By the end of the 2001-02 season, Artest was both an offensive and a defensive threat, averaging around 15 points per game and stealing the ball from opponents consistently. [...] People called the fracas “one of the ugliest scenes in NBA history,” and it surprised no one who had followed Artest’s career closely; he seemed to be, in the words of Sports Illustrated’s Chris Ballard, “basketball’s version of the Incredible Hulk, morphing into a destructive alter ego and then having no memory of the transformation afterward.” [4]

On November 19, 2004, Artest was at the center of an altercation among players and fans during a game in Auburn Hills, Michigan between Artest’s Pacers and the home team Detroit Pistons. [5]

Yet many people knew a very different Ron Artest–one who went broke despite his multimillion-dollar salary because he was so insistent about supporting his family, friends, and community, one who donated his time to wheelchair basketball competitions, one who had developed into one of the top young defensive players in the NBA through a combination of enthusiasm and fierce competitiveness. [4]

Wells was later picked up by the Houston Rockets and then traded to the New Orleans Hornets for former Sacramento Kings player Bobby Jackson. [...] Midway through the 2001-02 season, Ron was traded by Chicago to the Indiana Pacers along with Ron Mercer, Brad Miller, and Kevin Ollie, in exchange for Jalen Rose, Travis Best, Norman Richardson, and a 2nd Round draft pick. [5]

He joined the Lakers to win a championship, and practicing with Kobe Bryant everyday should squeeze every ounce of potential out of the unpredictable Tru Warier. [3]

He instantly leapt several rows into the stands, trading punches with fans along the way, and he was joined by O’Neal and teammate Stephen Jackson. [...] No one, however, could have predicted what would happen as the Pacers took the court against the Detroit Pistons on November 19, 2004. [4]

Ronald William “Ron” Artest, Jr. (born November 13, 1979) is an American professional basketball player who is currently with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. [5]
