WHY DOES METTA WORLD PEACE HAVE A GREEN LIGHT

[DoubleClutch]

Because teams leave him WIDE OPEN?

I'm not a Laker fan, but even I cringe whenever he shoots. I think he was like 4-18 this game.

Seems like every time he makes a 3 its luck, yet he gets cheered on to keep shooting...

Laker fans am I missing something?

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

Nope... you pretty much nailed it...

 

[OH SOHH TRILL]

Ron Artest used to be a scorer and in fact at times carried the scoring burden for Houston and the Pacers.

Pure unadulterated garbage.

He should shoot about 7-8 times a game max.

Ron Artest used to be a scorer and in fact at times carried the scoring burden for Houston and the Pacers.

but he usually scored driving to the hole.

I wish dude did that now.

That was years ago though. no way he should be shooting as much as he does

with a very low shooting percentage.

I don't think anyone is giving Artest a green light, I'm pretty sure he's just making these decisions on his own. I can't imagine the coaching staff is ENCOURAGING some of the shots he takes, even when he is wide open.

No, that shyt drives us nuts. Pringles needs to get a handle on this when he comes in.

^Yea, and I fell like everyone is scared to tell him NOT to shoot. He shouldn't even be handling the ball as much as he does.

I'd say his only true worth is his defense, hustle and "craziness" factor.

Im sure Jodi Meeks could be hitting those wide open 3's if hes given a shot.
