07:37 PM ET  11.04 | 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. Unafraid of confronting a superstar face-to-face (last season's playoffs against Kobe), in an attempt to intimidate and gain an edge is all part of his repertoire and persona. We fear he is a tick away from exploding into an uncontrolled rage, yet we value his warrior mentality. Likewise, Ariza is not one to shy away from confrontation, in fact, he was amongst the most-hated Lakers on the entire squad. Forget about the Kobe-haters, but can you name another player that was booed by opposing fans more consistently than Ariza?
