Having followed the Kings for quite some time now, I have been used to hearing others refer to our team as "soft". I hated hearing the term and tried my best to defend my team, but really had nothing to come back with. For years and years my Kings team was in fact soft. We had no enforcer, we had no thug, we had no defense. We were a bunch of jumpshooting offensive minded flopping pansies.
Then, we acquired Ron Artest. Our team image instantly changed. We finally had the guy who was the definition of toughness. We got what we wanted, or did we? I personally like what Artest brings to the court for the Sacramento Kings. I like his heart, his effort, his talent, and his tenacity. I realize he's had problems but hey, who doesn't? We'd look a lot worse if we had media following us around and reporting/twisting all the bad things we've done.
Having read over a lot of posts here by some well established members I have this question:
Which did you prefer, being labeled "soft" or dropping that label and dealing with Ron Artest?
