Ron Artest haircut

[ytl]

did anyone catch the lakers magic game on sunday, ron artest had the weirdest haircut. here is the pic and the story. he is one crazy dude.




Small forward Ron Artest debuted a new hairstyle at the Amway Arena in Orlando yesterday as he and the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Orlando Magic, in a rematch of the 2009 NBA finals.

Artest revealed his new hairdo - a bleached blonde crop with the word "defense" in Japanese, Hebrew and Hindi inscribed in Lakers purple - which quickly garnered comparisons with the colourful Dennis Rodman.

The hairstyle obviously didn't do the trick as the Lakers lost 96-94 and Artest allowed Vince Carter to score 25 points.

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said "He had a struggle tonight, couldn't make a shot and everything was a foul on Carter. Ron really didn't get a chance to play the defense he's touted to play."

Unsurprisingly, Artest didn't quite see it the same way.

"I'm very happy with the way I played," he said. "I take the good with the bad. I played great. I'm very happy with how I played."

Fans of Artest on Twitter were given a sneak peak of his hairstyle Saturday night when he gave picture updates of the 'creation' in progress.

On the back of the Lakers' third straight loss, maybe Artest should have spent Saturday night doing something more productive like looking at film of the Magic offense.

Yeah, I saw this yesterday on PTI. Whatever. I find this much less offensive than having 100 tattoos.

Why do you find the tattoos offensive? I could understand if you find them gross or disgusting, but why offensive? The tattoos aren't an affront to you. They aren't a dig aimed at Doughnut.

It always irks me when people find things like that personally offensive. You might not like it, you might think it doesn't look good, but it's not something aimed at you. So don't be offended...

[Doughnut]

Maybe offensive was the wrong word. I find it off-putting. That is, having 100 tattoos is a statement of some allegiance with thug culture and I am put off by that mentality.

I didn't find it offensive, as much as I found it to be just weird.

concerning tattoos, not all are gang related. it could just be a running list of all of their current/previous girlfriends, and a proof of allegiance to their mom. How could you find that as part of a thug culture, I think it just shows that they are dumb. Unfortunately, there is not much that this government can do to people that do dumb things.

[Doughnut]

Having 100 tattoos, regardless of they are for, is an element of thug culture.

[ytl]

I see your point with 100 tattoos, but where does the thug part come in. let's say you have 5 tattoos, do you consider them to thuggish?

[ytl]

concerning tattoos, who can you think of who has the most tattoos you have ever seen. Chris "the birdman" Anderson come to mind for me. I am sure there are rappers with more than he has, but I am not familiar with many of them. I am also sure that there is someone out there who just had tattoos put on so he could have a guiness book record.

I found my answer.

that guy is just odd
