you ni99as missing the point. Ur mixing your emotions up with what he's actually saying. Stop acting like menstruating bytches and forget who is saying it and concentrate on the truth of what's being said.

The media doesn't give him a pass.
They chalk him up to being "crazy ron" when he gives those wild ass interviews but if he picks up a flagrant foul they flip that switch and start saying he's like a wild animal.
When Ron hit Harden last year fans and the media were all saying he should have been suspended for much longer.

We'll Ron isn't lying. NBA is becoming more and more like a league played with rules of "Freeze Tag" and you get fined for $20,000 for fouling someone hard. I blame Stern for turning the league into Womens Basketball softness in todays league.

Stern's hands were forced due to fan perception.
A lot of white fans like to pretend as if NBA players from 99 on to now are a bunch of thugs who are always on the court throwing punches when in reality that's the farthest thing from the truth.
The saltiness some white fans have with the NBA is that they hate seeing a bunch of young black males making millions of dollars and not doing the Tiger/Jordan thing (not reminding people that they're actually black).

Change is inevitable...
People exposing themselves on the bottle shyt...worse shyt than a bottle getting thrown at you has happened at courts in the hood.
nikkas playing indoors at the rec center talking about what's going on in the hood on the court especially in the projects. Dudes can have beef, a bottle comes out of nowhere and then the whole game stops cause you don't know what the fukks about to go down, so you take your ass home before you catch a stray.

Until this day i wished the knicks would've drafted him. One of the few drafts i remember. I was downtown on 42nd and saw that they picked Frederick instead of him. I remember kinda trying to justify it like, they got Latrell tho, they be ight.

Yeah, i hate the charge call. They need to throw that out today. Would stop a lot of flopping and i think it's quite dangerous.
Goon Ball was a necessity because there wasn't much talent in the league at the time and those goon teams never won shyt anyway.
And as far as Ron Artest friend getting stabbed its 100% truth.
Published: April 15, 1991
A 19-year-old basketball player from Queens was fatally stabbed with a broken-off table leg today after a fight broke out during a basketball tournament, the police said.
The player, Lloyd Newton, was stabbed in the back with a leg from the scorer's table at the championship game of a Y.M.C.A.-sponsored tournament at the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club, the police in Niagara Falls said.
"An argument ensued about the score," Capt. Louis Curcione said, adding that one of the teams "thought they were getting gypped."
"A fight broke out between the players and about 40 fans in the stands," he said. "In the course of the fight, one person was stabbed in the back."
Mr. Newton was taken to the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Brian C. Young, 16, of Niagara Falls, has been charged with second-degree murder. He was being held at the Niagara Falls jail pending his arraignment in city court today.

It's just as bad that people think McHale was clotheslining Kurt Rambis on a daily basis back in the 80's.
