As y'all NBA-heads know, the Lakers have lost their last two games and are in danger of losing three straight for the first time since they stole, er, acquired Pau Gasol. They had a bit of a meeting yesterday to discuss their woes as of late. Kobe Bryant himself said a few things to his teammates and the only thing he really let on about what he said to them was about the porous defense. So I'm guessing it's time for them to get back into business, starting with the Eastern Conference champions, the Orlando Magic.
For the most part, Ron Artest hasn't done anything outrageous in his first year as a Laker. I mean, he's had messages carved in his hairstyle but he had been doing that even before he got to L.A.
With those things in mind and the Lakers in a bit of a tailspin, I'm sure people are questioning why Artest is doing this.
Pictured here with his barber, Boogie... Ron is showing off his NEW look. I'm sure part of this is a tribute to former NBA bad boy, Dennis Rodman.
The following two pictures show off the word "defense" in Japanese, Hebrew, and Hindi.
Is it distracting? Sure. His hair is friggin' bright. But as you know, Ron's been on fire in the defensive end as of late. Maybe this is more of his way of saying that he totally means business. After all, it has DEFENSE written all over his head.
Honestly, I'm wondering why it took him so long to do this. It probably would've also been better if he did this in the beginning of the season to get those talkers out of the way early but Ron (or his brothers) would be the first to tell me that he's used to the talk and that he's just focused on getting the ring.
Besides... it'd be even MORE distracting if he went with this hairstyle.
Yes, that's Ron Artest in his adolescent years. Ron, please don't kill me.
