Trevor Ariza did more for the Los Angeles Lakers than what he has been given credit. Ron Artest has been projected to do as much and so much more. But what all of the controversy spins around is quite simple. It's whether you like Ariza, or whether you like Artest.
They are polar opposites of one another yet very similar in many fashions. Ron-Ron will forever be linked to the Melee at the Palace. His role as an enforcer is one he relishes.
