Artest admits drinking during halftime of NBA games.

Ron-Ron McLoopy Pants has scored again.

"Ron Artest, the often-controversial Los Angeles Lakers forward, told a magazine interviewer he used to drink alcohol at halftime of NBA games." -BSPN

He also slams Joey C. but I can't find any fault with that. Nope.

“Joey Crawford basically said, ‘Who cares about the Houston Rockets? Kobe Bryant is on the floor,’ " Artest said, according to the Sporting News.

Now the move to LA makes sense. Artest wanted to be on the other end of bad officiating.

The Spurs - now playing defense again!

I used to drink during Rugby games but basketball games?? I tried that and it was horrible – drinking + rugby = yes, drinking + basketball = puke

drinking + basketball is fun for me. The key for me is to get a nice buzz going but not to overdo it.

Let ‘em hate Ron Ron! You speak your mind! Drinking during halftime? C’mon. That’s baby stuff. Surely that can’t be everything! ~~That’s not everything, and don’t call me~~

Typical Laker! Hell I drink before, after and throughout the game.

I used to, but now I’m trying abstention from a mojo perspective. So what’s the latest over/under on # of games until Ron-Ron reverts to his normal behavior?

I couldn’t tell you. He is playing as well as almost any Laker so far this year but who knows what the future will bring.

I heart Artest.

In fact, the more people rip on him, the more I heart him.

Do you like him and wish he were on your team? Or do you like him because you hope he will cause a rival team to implode?

Btw I realize that someone can like vanilla, strawberry & chocolate at the same time but Artest & Iverson seem to be on the opposite end of the BBall spectrum from Duncan, Pop & Robinson. just sayin’.

I know. What can I say. I like most people, really, despite my prickly demeanor and protective armor.

And I have a real soft spot for bad boys who have a certain joie de vivre.

By the way, on Twitter? He’s like a professional event planner. Dude throws a new party every night and invites the world. He’s also utterly in love with Kobe. It’s kind of cute.

Oh no! Not Ron! Anyone but Ron. Now I’m disillusioned with basketball, with professional sports, and with life in general. The one person, the one person I look up to in the NBA, the one person who represents all that is good with the league: he screwed up this one time, and I’ll never look at him the same again. This is heartbreaking.

Have a drink on Ron. Maybe that’s why he went into the stands?

I’m especialy impressed by his bragging about what an awesome party pimp he was as a 19 year old father. And his assertion that the Lakers are his supporting cast when defending. What an unbelieveable ass.

Hilariously maladjusted. But for all the right reasons.
