This is why I will never watch NBA again...

Just remember: Ron Artest's album drops November 23!

Yo I'm the biggest gangsta in the NBA
I'm so ghettofied they don't even let me play
Some might be mad, but to me it's OK
Because 'BUY MY ALBUM' is now all i gotta say.

I beat up little fat kids every night
but because i'm from the hood, you know it's aiiiiiight
Stern might have suspended me just out of spite
But now, the world rejoices, i have more time to write

[basom]

wow bill. just.... i mean... such wasted talent lost in the world of disaster modeling.

[mildbill.]

i know, i mean, how often do you hear 'rejoices' used in a hip hop song, excluding Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation? That's alright, i'm going to ask for some time off from work because i need to rest, and promote my album. but then a few days later i'm just going to beat the shit out of one of the web developers and get put on "you're a fucking nutcase" leave for a year or so.

[basom]

....get put on "you're a fucking nutcase" leave for a year or so.

wait, you can get that more than once?!

hot fuck! thats nuts.

[mildbill.]

wait, you can get that more than once?!

hot fuck! thats nuts.

no, that other time it was a "you're starting to scare some people" probation. not really 'leave' per se. more just like, no firearms and restricted access to certain areas.

Any fan in any city could have thrown a beer on Artest. So, people calling detroit fans punks for that are pretty dense. I think most people are just surprised at how Detroit fans didn't turn into gigantic pussies when players came into the stands. They defended themselves, against 7 ft tall professional athletes instead.
And the guy who came out onto the court, fuck, Artest going into the stands opened up that door. I feel like this was a good representation of the kind of people/ sports fans we have in Detroit, and I like it. We're already considered the bottom of the barrel by everyone else in this country, we might as well dig a little deeper.
Where else are you going to find a 5 ft tall chaldean dude who has the balls to square off with a 7 ft tall professional athlete.

at the very bottom of the gene pool?

that guy got knocked.... the fuck out!

yeah he dropped pretty quick.

you would have probably dropped just as fast, along with everyone you know.

yup, people definetly tend to get knocked out when punched by gigantic people.

[basom]

you would have probably dropped just as fast, along with everyone you know.

thats for sure. although, i'd like to think that i'm smart enough not to walk out onto the court and try and fight a professional basketball player. but if you think thats cool, and like your cities sports fans for having that as a characteristic, more power to you.

i did think my comment about where else you might find a guy like that was pretty funny though.

sorry, just fixing the punctuation.

alas, we must agree to disagree.

[basom]

alas, we must agree to disagree.

what are we disagreeing on?? you have to clearify stuff like that.

do you think i am not smart enough to engage a pro baller in fisticuffs?

or did you not think my gene pool comment was not at all funny?

[A-wreck]

what are we disagreeing on?? you have to clearify stuff like that.

do you like the characteristics of Detroit fans?

or did you not think my gene pool comment was not at all funny?

Yes, exactly.

[basom]

you have to do a service upgrade on your sense of humor.

and i never said i didn't like that (walking up to players and engaging them in fist fights) as a characteristic of a detroit fan, all i said was more power to you if you do. the gene pool comment was funny though, you should just admit to that so you don't look stupid.

The gene pool comment was predictable. I actually thought of someone saying that while I typed the original comment. But came to the conclusion that nobody would make a joke that was as dry and predictable as yours.

As far as my sense of humor is concerned, I have none. And probably will be better off without one if it will lead to me making dry and predictable jokes.

[basom]

fair enough. i'm just confused to why you modded out that quote from me if you were just not finding the joke amusing? why wouldn't you just say that in the first place and we could have avoided this horse and pony show?

[mildbill.]

you i'm ron artest, and i'm shittin on detroit
my first basketball was made by voit
when i'm illin on the court i'm always lookin for a fight
if you're chaldean, start runnin, aiiiiiiight?


edit: and basom, seriously. how could you even think of making a joke about that rad, loveable, tough-as-nails underdog city of detriot. i mean, let's all just talk about how great it is. ok? i mean, these were my friends, and they were made out of gin boxes!

[half-fast]

I don't even think artest went after the right guy-the guy he went after appeared to have a beer or soda in his hand-I think that guy's mistake was cheering for the beer-soda bomb

[cololi]

This kind of thing is capable of happening at any arena in the league. A similar thing happened in the mid 80's at the end of a Jazz-Warriors playoff game in SLC. It nearly happened after the 98 NBA finals in SLC, although that was mainly between fans, but Dennis Rodman was headed for the stands before a huge police officer stepped in front of him. I am more suprised it hasn't happened sooner.

[A-wreck]

fair enough. i'm just confused to why you modded out that quote from me if you were just not finding the joke amusing? why wouldn't you just say that in the first place and we could have avoided this horse and pony show?

I think it's funny when people are confused. But that would have nothing to do with any sense of humor.

[mildbill.]

i'm confused. is this funny?

[A-wreck]

i'm confused. is this funny?

not to me, I have no sense of humor.

oooh the old bait and switch. classic humor! well crafted and well played. really, didn't read as defensive at all.

nice work.

[dubu]

hehe, I got an idea we should let the Pacers and Detroit play in europe, maby we could schedule their game to be at half time of sone English vs French soccer match, and see what happens.. o and take down the chain link fence. .


Sport stars (esp basketball) are such pussies, c mon some fan called you names and threw an plastic beer cup.. big fuckin deal.

[sea2ski]

Why do I find this so ironic that this brawl happened in a city which refers to itself as "Hockeytown".
