That's a start! I love Ron Ron but he's really gotta shape up. Practice what you preach!

Somebody needs to remind me of his wrongdoings. There was the fight in Detroit but what else? I really don't remember. He should go home and bring some tenacity back to the Garden.

No MacaDamien...they just rather have someone else with a clean record say that to them...but what they dont realize is that those student not trying to hear it from someone they cant relate to...they respect RON coz they see ppl like RON everyday...so RON words carry more weight than Johnny TOO GOOD

Did the courts order Artest to do this visit? I can't see an NBA player doing something nice and talking with kids and the media reporting it. That just doesnt happen anymore.

There's a term for this: oxymoron. Look it up in the dictionary, people.

that just shows you how much the NYC school system has fallen....bringing in Artest to talk to kids to stay out of trouble.
what's next? bringing in Karl ROve to talk about how democrats are good for the country?

Cookiejar: As a product of the NYC school system, I only have one thing to say: you're absolutely right. I know Ron Ron just went over to Kenya, and now he feels like a humanitarian but he is just nothing but another athlete preaching one thing but doing another.
Now, he just basically told kids how to live, but these same kids are old enough to know why he can't play the first 7 games of next season.

EJ, oxymoron refers to a name like "jumbo shrimp". It doesn't exactly apply accurately in this scenario.
