Damn its so tight having Ron on the Lakers. I love when he flexes haha. He's such a beast. These guys have great chemistry. Lets go! The 3-Peat was destiny!
They are friends but they go at it and even had a shoving match in a recent game. MJ said Artest was one of the toughest and strongest players he ever played against..remember Artest is the guy who injured MJ when MJ was preparing for his comeback attempt.
I've heard stories of even the best of friends who NEVER ever had an argument or fight before...until they stepped on the court and played against each other. These are two competitive and talented players who have much respect for each other on and off the court. I'm sure they made up after that 'scuffle'.
These two guys together on the wings? DAMN!!! Who you gonna guard? How you gonna score? Two hard working warriors! If he gets the same looks as Trevor did, Ron will KILL this league. Lakers on track for the back to back!
congrats with getting ron artest...it pissed me off, since i'm a cavs fan, not being able to get him or ariza, but still.. hopefully it will be lakers-cavs in the finals. la's probably gonna win with that INSANE star-studded team, but it will be fun
You have no idea how good Bynum was before his injuries. He could've been one of the top centers in the league. He was putting 20-10 numbers. He's young and only gonna get better.
Lakers will Repeat 2010! Keep in mind that this wont be like the Kobe & Shaq Duo. It will be intersting to see how they will all play now as a unit. Ron Artest is not afraid of anyone, I have to say that his main focus would be to play defense. Thats whatTrevor Ariza brought from the Majic - Dfense. Cant wait till Regular Season starts! #1 LA Lakers Fan!!!
The reason the Lakers is so successful because they got three of the best Big men Bynum, Gasaul, and Odom. Also the best shooters Kobe, Fisher, Artest.
After the Houston-Lakers series, I thought their friendship broke down lol. And I heard some rumors about Ron Artest teaching Dantay Jones to guard Kobe in the WCF lol.
wow.... im impressed with ron artests interview....... he may have a life after he retires. he didnt put kobe on blast or nit pick at bullshit that normally piss someone off.
Or when the Lakers got Rodman despite Magic and West being against it. Remember how that turned out? Lakers after going on an 11 game winning streak started losing and Rodman started showing up late and challenging the coach till one day he was fired on the spot after coming in late with no shoes.
yh the rockets r surprising widout yao and tracey , i fink the best fing 2 do is 2 build around aaron brooks , schola , ariza , ariza got star quality , brooks can b scary , schola is yur energy guy hardworker , ands battier is important aswel and also dey need 2 get yao back as soon as possible , but as for tmac i feel is days r outnumbered in rocket colours wont b surprised if he gets traded during all star
that would be amazing. If ron is willing to take a pay cut though. Bynum will probably get a big contract this offseason. Maybe not resigning Mihm would help.
This was years before they even teamed up together … love it 💯❤️🦾
ron artest seems happy as hell interviewing kobe.
Ron got a future in broadcasting. Very good interview
Who’s here after the 25/10 show?😂
Real shit 😂
Damn its so tight having Ron on the Lakers. I love when he flexes haha. He's such a beast. These guys have great chemistry. Lets go! The 3-Peat was destiny!
This is so wholesome 🥺
i agree yokohama.
I met ariza back in high school. and i knew when i saw him play that he was gonna be a great mark in the nba.
Who else is here from all the smoke?
He knew Gigi would be about ball even at 2 years old man. Miss you Kobe.
"im looking forward to playing against you"
"i was like damn kobe's about to give me 50"
lmfao
Best interview ever . They both happy
they have a great friendship going on thats really nice
RON AND KOBE= UNSTOPPABLE
After more than a year, our wish has been granted!!
Lakers all the way!!!

They are just like brothers these two ... fight, make up, hug ... the little brother looking to the big brother for approval ...
much respect to Ron good defense and even MJ said he wishes he had the chance to vs him
Imma miss Trevor but im so excited we got Ron Artest!!!
They are friends but they go at it and even had a shoving match in a recent game. MJ said Artest was one of the toughest and strongest players he ever played against..remember Artest is the guy who injured MJ when MJ was preparing for his comeback attempt.
I would love to see the reaction of a Rockts fan when they heard the news!!! Welcome to Cali Ron!!!

Im a big laker fan but I would love to have more players like Artest on our team. Never say never attitudes. We could sure use him.
WELCOME TO LA RON RON!!!!
wow artest is a cool dude... he laughs through the entire interview.
Welcome to L.A. Ron Ron!!!!!
congrats with getting ron artest...it pissed me off, since i'm a cavs fan, not being able to get him or ariza, but still.. hopefully it will be lakers-cavs in the finals. la's probably gonna win with that INSANE star-studded team, but it will be fun
its evident they don't hate each other, not a "rivalry" like Kobe and Allen or Kobe and Raja Bell.
That was great.
i still want to see ron artest in purple and gold
Wow! I didnt see this before...awesome!
You have no idea how good Bynum was before his injuries. He could've been one of the top centers in the league. He was putting 20-10 numbers. He's young and only gonna get better.
Yeah, it's kinda sad for me, a Lakers fan, too, to think that that old Kings team is almost(?) completely gone now.
Kobe and Ron together plus Odom Yeah!! Dang REPEAT!!!!
kobe,d-fish,ron,LO,pau,bynum
RIP 29 other teams
💜💛
oohh yeah baby!
ron artest and kobe bryant will shine in the playoffs. houston and the lakers are contenders.
Come to LA Ron-Ron!
I can tell in this video, that Ron really looked up to Kobe....
Yup!
2010 championship goal accomplished let's get another one
Dope
ron best defender in the league.
Kobe + Artest = Best perimeter defense in the league.
Ron Artest is crazy. Love him. Well i'm not saying that cuz of this inteview but becuz i know.
Lakers will Repeat 2010!
Keep in mind that this wont be like the Kobe & Shaq Duo.
It will be intersting to see how they will all play now as a unit.
Ron Artest is not afraid of anyone, I have to say that his main focus would be to play defense. Thats whatTrevor Ariza brought from the Majic - Dfense.
Cant wait till Regular Season starts!
#1 LA Lakers Fan!!!
they have 1 more gm against 1another on april 3rd u better believe KOBE is gonna CRUSH ron. Mark my words
they are both in purple and gold!
The reason the Lakers is so successful because they got three of the best Big men Bynum, Gasaul, and Odom. Also the best shooters Kobe, Fisher, Artest.
After the Houston-Lakers series, I thought their friendship broke down lol. And I heard some rumors about Ron Artest teaching Dantay Jones to guard Kobe in the WCF lol.
Your right Kobe and derek are the leaders.
cool!
Kobe Bryant, Muhammad Ali and Michael Jackson....luuuuv these guys!
I think when Ron did the thorat gesture the ref thought he was making a threat...
My two favorite ballers of all time. Please LA, trade for ARtest! Kobe + Artest + Gasol = omfg great!
yea you right a like lamar so idk what to do cause i would like ron wit us
nice vid
looks like ron is interviewing kobe
amagine kobe artez and yao ming damm that champion
Who woulda thought after this they’d win together
wow.... im impressed with ron artests interview....... he may have a life after he retires. he didnt put kobe on blast or nit pick at bullshit that normally piss someone off.
yeahhhh true true
we got Artest baby...Repeat
Or when the Lakers got Rodman despite Magic and West being against it. Remember how that turned out? Lakers after going on an 11 game winning streak started losing and Rodman started showing up late and challenging the coach till one day he was fired on the spot after coming in late with no shoes.
Look for Maggette and Artest to try and relocate to the Spurs in 2008-2009 season
I have the same shirt as Kobe!
yh the rockets r surprising widout yao and tracey , i fink the best fing 2 do is 2 build around aaron brooks , schola , ariza , ariza got star quality , brooks can b scary , schola is yur energy guy hardworker , ands battier is important aswel and also dey need 2 get yao back as soon as possible , but as for tmac i feel is days r outnumbered in rocket colours wont b surprised if he gets traded during all star
hmmmm..... why don't you look at the date this video was posted
no no no ur not ready fo rme kobe
Ron Artest come to the lakers next year!
"They put me on you, and you torched me too"
Haha Ron.
your wish just came true
great point. i think his name is Mitch though.
LeBron should interview Kobe, but that takes lots and lots and lots of humility.
that would be amazing. If ron is willing to take a pay cut though. Bynum will probably get a big contract this offseason. Maybe not resigning Mihm would help.
I just died a little inside...lost respect for Artest right about now. GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!
At the end Ron says "Lebron is one of my favorite players AFTER you" So, him favoring L.A. over Cleveland was obvious.
yeah!! odom is definitely back for the repeat!!
Artest + Kobe
(Pippen + Jordan) XD
its kind of wierd how teamates interview eachother.
Im still waiting for T-Mac to be 100% healthy and have a complete season. Just you wait bro.
RON RON!!!!! as a kings fan...i dont know what to say..a kings player cool with a lakers player? goddamn
there's a difference between kissing up and just having a legitimate respect for a player.
Think you was talkin about Mitch K.
Hahaha! Pushing DWade hard in preparation for kobe... That's so so funny, and so so true!
LOLS. What year was this interview ?
It's ok for Artest to be cool with Kobe just because Artest plays for the Kings. Artest wasn't part of the Lakers-Kings rivalry back in the day
True True and Shannon Brown, and Adam Morrison. They will win over 70 games.
Damn, Artest looks star-struck.
