Ron On His Return To Indiana

[SacKings384]

"It feels like high school again," Artest said between practice and a private shooting session at the Kings' training complex. "I had a really good team, and I was a much better leader. When I got in college and the NBA, I became selfish. Now, I'm back to my high school days.

"I'm doing the same things here that I did (in Indiana), with a few exceptions. Over here, it's just a little bit better for me. It's a good situation, because it easily could have went against me. I could have been in a place where I wasn't happy."

"It's the first time in a long time that I've been complimented on my leadership skills," Artest said. "Partly it was my fault that I hadn't been complimented in the past. Maybe some people just weren't recognizing."

(In reference to his days with Indiana)

"I made myself into a franchise player there, but I kind of sneaked up on them," Artest said.

"I'm looking forward to seeing him," Carlisle said. "He's one of my favorite players I've ever worked with. I'm not looking forward to seeing him in an opponent's uniform."
