From the Mouth of Ron Artest...
"I remember one time, my friend was playing basketball, and they was winning the game, it was so competitive that they broke a leg from a table and they threw it and it went right through his heart and he died. Right on the court. So, uh, I'm accustomed to playing basketball really rough...[on Kobe's elbow in Game 2] you gotta have balls to hit a guy like me in the throat...I went over there to tell Kobe, 'you hittin' the wrong person, don't you know you hittin' Ron Artest?' I mean, come on."

Dez, I believe you left out an opening line to this post that would have gone something like..."My good friend, Walter Evans, called my attention to a brilliant Ron Artest quote that I wanted to share with my loyal readers."
The fantastic thing about this quote is that two of the Houston sports DJs thought that the story was so ridiculous and over-the-top that they actually looked it up. Turns out, the whole thing did actually happen in Ron Artest's hometown around the time that he was growing up. Of course, I think the table leg was probably "stabbed" through the boy's heart...as opposed to being "thrown".
Either way, though, as the DJs put it, "You don't mess with Ron Artest!"
