"I don't know what that means," Artest said. "They probably expected a little more; expected me to play every game. Everybody's different. It's early in the season, so I feel like I could take some time off early and be ready for the long stretch."

WTF? :confused:

fvcking tool he is.

Artest is highly overrated...and how has lost any respect anyone had for him..

Is he a good defender? Absolutely.

Is he a good offensive player? No, not really - he's very awkward driving to the basket, not particulaly explosive around the basket either....

This might be the dumbest thing I've heard about from an NBA player since......well...........anyone?

Pacers are fvcked, Artest is the glue that sticks the team together.
Just look at them today without Artest, got blown up by 30+ points by Clippers.

Larry Bird must be going nuts about now.

The trade with the kings for Peja makes so much sense too... his game is so off this season. But I guess there's a reason why the Maloof boys don't win championships.

Since Sprewell claimed a few weeks ago he needs to get paid more to feed his family.
