well i was listening to the radio awhile ago, artest was on being interviewed and they asked him about his and kobe's relationship... he proceded to blast the refs for ruining their match up in the houston series by ejecting him.. i would not be surprised to hear artest just picked up his first fine as a laker...lol

lol I see Phil and Ron have already a lot in common.
Overlooked part of this is that opposing teams cant hide their star wings on Trevor or Luke. They're going to have to guard somebody now, either Kobe or Ron.
Thats a good point as well. I wonder what Phil has in stock on how he plans to keep Artest focused on the one goal.
I remember when Sheed first became a Piston, LB basically said "you need to let sheed be sheed".
Wonder what kind of mind games Phil can play on Artest.
phil doesn't really motivate or control players, he leaves that up to them to police themselves..phil puts the players in the right spot at the right time to succeed..
jacksons one greatest strength is getting a group of players to buy into a "phil"osophy where they all surrender individual needs to acomplish a goal as a team, he doesn't deal with the players as individuals but as a unit, he doesn't cater to the players he doesn't try and become one of the guys or reach them on their level, he insists they come up to his level andthat's why they respect him... it's the idiots like smush and cook that can't see past that and fail in his system as a laker...
this will be entirely up to artest if it's going to work, phils not going to try and speak crazy pills language crazy pills will have to learn to speak phils, just like jordan and pippen did and just like kobe has done the last couple years...

Man so much potential...he really could have been something
Edit: and I do agree, I remember when Gary Payton was crying through the media to Phil...one thing I remember Phil saying was "Gary needs to be on our page, we don't need to be on Gary's page". It does sicken me that these players don't appreciate their sorroundings.
rofl Smush Parker could have been something? Thats probaly why he's playing in Taiwan or something right now.
He actually could have been something had he kept his head on straight. He had potential. A good 3 pt shooter, very good at getting to the rim. Pretty good pickpocket as well.
