Re: Apparently if there not fighting the fans of Detroit...
Well they've been calling him "Tru Warier" for years at the Rucker. So it's not like this is new. Anyone from NYC, has known about Artest for well over a decade by that nickname.
Just because you've never heard it before, doesn't mean it's stupid.

Okay, I didn't say the Pacers fans came in here with Artest's hair to distract us. Seriously, are you that completely dense?
I said that the Pacers fans came in here to defend the hair and were completely ignoring the issue of the fight. They weren't defending their team as concerns the fight at all, they were only defending Artest's hair... because they have no defense for the fight.
Good lord man, you're... just missing the point I made COMPLETELY. I mean, you aren't even in the ballpark. You're off at Candlestick where my discussion is Fenway. So off the right path that the banks of America couldn't find you if you owed student loan payments.
Geez man...

HKF... I'll be the first to say that, as a player, Artest is remarkable. So don't call me an Artest hater really... I think he's a loon, but he's a hell of a player, I will acknowledge that. Now, keeping in mind that I am not simply a mindless Artest hater...
I would still laugh my *** off upon hearing that nickname if I had been there when they gave it to him 10 or however many years ago. It is simply a horrid nickname. Noah Webster is rolling in his grave. I'm all for the evolution of the English language as a whole via ebonics, slang, etc... but that is just laughably stupid.

And do you know why we're not defending the fight? We don't care, at least I don't.
I want Jack off the team.

Of course. If you looked in the Pacers forum, you'd realize that many of us wanted to trade Jackson when this happened. He's more of a hothead than Ron Artest. If the Pacers have a team cancer, it's him.

Re: Apparently if there not fighting the fans of Detroit...
You guys make fun of Artest's hair, but have you even looked at Darko's? His is a hell of a lot worse than Artest's. It's a ****ing combed back mullet.
I'm still trying to find a picture.

Re: Apparently if there not fighting the fans of Detroit...
Youre missing the point, Darko just stopped dying and cutting his hair....Artest actually took time to make his look like that.

Actually, Darko must have taken more time to grow a mullet than Artest took to get "Tru Warier" shaved in the back of his head. You're missing the point: Artest's hair > Darko's.
