Top 5 Ron Artest Stories (Excluding "The Brawl")

The summer of 2009 has been met with many unexpected transgressions, one of which is certain to get much coverage with the She League. Ron Artest is now a Laker. The defending champs have signed Mr. Detroit Malice at the Palace. I don't know what to expect, but what I've learned in the past two weeks, is to simply expect the unexpected. To commemorate this signing, it's only fitting that we review 5 of Ron-Ron's finest moments.

5. Ron walks into Kobe Bryant's shower after Game 6 loss of 2008 Finals.--We all knew he was crazy, but damn. According to coach Phil Jackson, Kobe was showering, by himself when in walks Ron Artest telling him he wants to be a Laker.

4. Ron requests time off during the season to promote his rap album.--Why would he need time off? With skills like his, one would think, the art would sell itself.

3. Ron misses team bus and rides with owner in his underwear.

2. Ron records a tribute song to the late great Michael Jackson.--Notable lyrics include, "I know you're in heaven, I hope to see you next year".

1. Ron applies for a job at Circuit City so that he can get an employee discount.

Get ready Laker fans, I feel like this list will keep growing.
