Artest says he'll play cheap in UK

I agree MACDUB. I think people have still got the indiana incident in their heads when they think of him. I hated the guy till he played for Houston (My Team) but the guy plays with so much passion and clearly is enjoys playing ball more than making the money. He is the only Laker that I can stand the sight of!

MACDUB

Years ago

Im sorry but I don't know what he is doing that is so wrong. Why are people criticizing him.

He has taken a massive pay cut to play in London.. ($1500-$2500 is hardly anything!
He just complimented Finland on their cleanliness and obviously he is concerned with the Environment--Obviously upset with the lack of cleanliness in the USA.
He is going to Finland to promote mental health issues.
"If I go play somewhere, I have to enjoy it," Artest said, according to the Times. "If I'm not going to enjoy the game, I'm not going. ... Right now I'm really happy with the passion of the team. I'm really happy with the passion of the league. It's not the best league in Europe. But it's a league that has potential. I'm looking forward to being a part of a start."
^^ That definitely sounds as though a guy who plays Basketball for the love of the game and not the money.

A reindeer went into a bar......

Seriously, I now understand after some extensive research why he is going there to host comedy shows. Apparently this is one of the most popular jokes in Finland...

-Pekka was out driving. Suddenly the road turned, but Pekka did not. Pekka ended up on a hospital. The doctor said: "But Pekka, you must learn how to turn." Week later, Pekka was out on the road driving again. Pekka turned, but the road sure hell did not!
