The OFFICIAL Ron Artest is insane thread
A place to pay homage to the craziest mofo'er in the entire NBA. This is a good piece to start things off:
Ron Artest -- What's Wrong with this Picture?!
Ron Artest was stopped dead in his tracks -- after cops saw the dude rolling around L.A. in an oversized go-cart .... and realized something was wrong.
TMZ obtained this photo of the Los Angeles Lakers playoff hero getting pulled over Monday in something called an Eagle Roadster -- a custom vehicle with a top speed of 152 MPH.
Law enforcement sources tell us Artest was cited because the registration on the car was expired. But get this -- we're told the car isn't even registered to Ron ... but somebody out in Tennessee.
Ron -- who was smiling throughout the entire incident -- was eventually sent on his way ... but sources tell us cops were "very happy" he was wearing a helmet.
The Lakers should be happy too.

I've looked at this picture about 12 times throughout the day and it has made me crack up every time.

Ron Artest is promoting mental-health awareness.
That's it.
There is no punch line.
No big finish, no rim shot, no laugh track. Just the starting small forward of the two-time defending champions visiting a middle school Thursday in the Los Angeles suburb of Montebello to call for passage of federal legislation and encourage students to reach out to a health-care worker if they need.
Artest is telling others to get help. Yeah, he knows. He knows he's asking for it. He knows every Internet comedian will jump on this with some crack, mostly behind the anonymity of a screen-name handle, of course. But he doesn't care because shining a light on an urgent topic is more important to him.
Here's how more important:
Artest finally won a title in June after 11 regular seasons of trying ... and now he's planning to sell the championship ring as a fundraiser to put more psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists in schools.
"I'm never going to put it on," he said.
Artest plans to soon announce details of what he hopes will become a worldwide auction, and he takes possession of the jewelry in an Oct. 26 pre-game ceremony before the Lakers open against the Rockets. It's an incredible gesture. But it's even more meaningful as a statement.

It would have been better if the thing had pedals instead of an engine.

Nope, I love him too.
All-time favorite, from a playoffs post-game interview 2 years ago with the Rockets:

I've been through TN several times. The real crime is mentioning it as if it were a Texas/arizona/Florida caliber sate.

I laughed out loud at several points in that video and that was definitely one of them. Just crazy sad/funny.

I feel legitimately sorry for the Pacers and their fans. That team was a legitimate title contender before the brawl. Six years later they still haven't even begun to recover.

There are lots I could post but this is one of my favorite recent ones. Ron has been going crazy on twitter recently. This is what he said about himself after the Cavs lost:
"i just got a call from from jesus he says you are the worst player in the history of the game but i love you thanks jesus"
