Okay, say it’s just not me who believes Ron Artest is the second coming (maybe not that extreme) of Dennis Rodman?

If you go back a few posts you’ll see a short lineup of those “bad boy” types that Hubby thought I was endearing to and biased toward (And, yes, Dennis is one!), but that’s not the case here (I wanted to clear that up. LOL!). Artest, the newly acquired defensive mammoth to the L.A. Lakers, makes me a believer that we’re headed for a repeat.

Yes, I know, I know… It’s way too soon for that sort of talk, but what other team made a better or even comparable acquisition (Please don’t say the Cavs with Shaq…)? And what other team now would you say is more solid, with even an overly decent bench, than L.A.? Okay… I’m back. I just needed to point this all out before acknowledging the crazy antics and bonehead decisions Artest has made. But haven’t we all… (I’ll wait! LOL!).

The point is, today, today Artest is out of his mind (in a good way!) and finally with a team that can channel that fierceness and keep him focused at the same time. I mean, who can’t be calm with Phil around and the team reciting the Lord’s Prayer? As I always say, let’s just give him a chance. We shouldn’t deem one over another just because his questionable actions are public and yours or mine aren’t… Rodman was a crazed (And, I feel, misunderstood… Hey, I like vampires, too. Don’t judge me!) rocker with some head-turning tendencies, but when he stepped on the court, who was better?

I’m just saying…
