Like Sam Cooke said "Change Gone Come"

I'm still curious as to what these off-court Artest issues are.

there arent any....technically the brawl was off court....

but if ur referring to legal type problems, you will be disappointed....

there have been issues like missing an exit meeting with bird...these sorts of things...but with regard to criminal type issues....none....closest would be the police being called to rons house for a domestic disturbance....it was the mother of one of rons children (not his current wife) who was being disruptive....ron was cleared of any problems whatsoever.....

most would tell u off the court he is quite the personable individual....many people have run into him in public and none have anything bad to say....

hes also, by all rights, a very very good father...

I read the article about him and it doesn't really change anything. he had traumatic experiences in his childhood, so do a lot of us but that doesn't mean we have anger issues. I get mad when I hear a molester say i was molested like it's an excuse (that's just an example). He probably is angry about his siter and what his mom went through but that is no excuse for his behavior. I would say he needs help but he's had it and it's obviously not working. He's been this angry for this long, it's not going away anytime soon. It's not right for him to take it out on innocent people. That kind of temper and attitude is not something I want for this team. He will explode again and again and I'd hate for one of our players or fans be on the receiving end of that temper.
