Artest takes exception to the TNT analyst's assertion that the veteran forward could become a distraction to the Lakers. The two have sparred verbally before. Ron Artest fired back at Charles Barkley on Friday after the TNT analyst criticized the Lakers forward by saying he could become a distraction to the team.
TNT went flufftastic on the Lakers F Thursday night, and following clips of Artest hanging out in a recording studio, the TMZ offices and explaining his haircut, Charles Barkley suggested that perhaps the Aubernica brawler would be better served concentrating on hoops. Hours later, Artest took the fight to (where else) Twitter, as the [...]
My gambling problems started at 13 years old. I was selected for a gymnastics team competing in an invitational in Spain; one of those trips where parents don't come - just coaches. As the youngest person on the squad by three or four years, I was stupid enough to do anything my teammates suggested. So when they started playing a card game called Between the Sheets ( explanation ), I dove in. At first,...
Ron Artest wasn't happy that Charles Barkley criticized him Thursday for his many off-the-court pursuits, just after TNT showed a feature on the Lakers' forward. So, Artest spent most of Friday afternoon blasting Barkley on his Twitter feed. Artest then...
Well, dock me two points from my Jazz fan card. Last night, I was chatting away in the game thread and we went into the half-time break. Went upstairs to get some snacks and came back down ready to go again for the last half of the game. That's the last thing I remember before I woke up to Charles Barkley going on about something. That's right, I passed out for the second half of the best game of the...
First it was Charles Barkley, then it was Michael Jordan. And then Reggie Miller. Now another NBA legend has come out and shared his thoughts on what LeBron James should do with free agency. And as usual, it’s music to your ears if you’re a Cavs fans. Larry Bird, who has come out with a book with [...]
Here's an interesting take on the CCT/all-transit debate from District 39 Delegates Kirill Reznik and Charles Barkley: they want to build the CCT now and study the other transit options named by Action Committee for Transit later. We reprint their letter to the County Council below.
New Sacramento Kings coach Paul Westphal, left, argues a call during a preseason game victory Oct. 17 against Golden State at Arco Arena. Westphal hadn't been an NBA head coach since 2000. "I have a passion for the game, for the competition," he says. Almost a decade removed from his last NBA head coaching job, Paul Westphal had dropped out of the conversation; he no longer was pursued or...
Ron Artest threw an Inaugural Season Kick-Off BBQ for 30 of his closest Twitter followers and judging by the pictures everybody had a good time. More impressive than Artest throwing a cookout for 30 strangers was his choice of transportation: A red Indycar. Ron-Ron was selling the ride on Ebay but I guess he changed his [...] Related posts: Video: Ron Artest Press Conference and Contract Signing Ron...
Great … something else for Charles Barkley to hit. A golf course in Canfield, Ohio, is going green and helping to “save the environment” by maintaining their courses entirely with goats. And in case you’ve never seen a goat driving a John Deere riding mower, I can tell you they’re very good. Of course the goats [...]

(AP Photo/Don Ryan) CLIP OF THE DAY (click on link below to watch) TNT NBA studio analyst Charles Barkley guesses which team five current players are [...]
Plenty of NBA players pack on the pounds after their career is over. It makes sense -- you stop exercising, you enjoy the fruits of your labour and eat, drink and be merry. We only need to look at Sir Charles Barkley for a prime example. However, lately I've noticed that there are a handful of former star point guards that have kept themselves in good condition and look like they could almost be in...
Jason Whitlock is a provocateur. A gadfly. The FOX Sports columnist writes “from absolutely every angle, including angles other writers can't imagine or muster the courage to address. His columns are humorous, thought-provoking, agenda free, honest, unpredictable and uncomfortable for white and black people comfortable with their biases.” Ah, yes, the old “you can’t handle...
Michael Jordan has chosen David Thompson, another high flyer from North Carolina, to present him, while Charles Barkley and Isiah Thomas also will be presenters at the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony. Jordan highlights a class that includes David Robinson, John Stockton, and coaches Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz and C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers. Each was asked to select a previous inductee to serve...
