Ron Artest needs to chill. Someone needs to tell him to stop or he will never.

Artest isn't an All-Star, even without the antics.

Well if Dennis Rodman is considered a great player and Ben Wallace is a great player......then so is Ron Artest.

Tell him to stop? The NBA slaps him with fines and suspensions every time, I think their telling him to stop....

If he gets traded, I think it will help him. Thomas isn't exactly great at controlling his team. I think he likes it when they get in fights, because he can join in. The Pacers need to either get a real coach (Indiana should be dominating the East), or trade Artest to a less volatile situation.

I personally think the guy's a joke. You didn't see this side of him at St. John's, where he was one of my favorite players. But as his reputation grew for being a rough player, he decided he'd try and invent an even bigger image. I seriously think this is basically an act. I mean, obviously the guy has a temper, but I think he's trying to live up to his hype as a tough guy. What really needs to happen is him get beat into the ground out there on the court. Let him go after a bigger guy then him (notice how he never does that), and let him get a good beating. Then we'll see how tough he looks, and maybe then he'll behave like a human being. Something has to happen, otherwise Indiana might as well ship him off to Portland, at least there he'll fit in.

I think that he is a good player, but i think that he is sending a message that says act how u wanna act, and just accept the stupid fines and suspensions. Hello, obviously that's not enough because he keeps doing it. I think there needs to be tougher penalties for behavior like that. I think they should order him to anger management and follow-up counseling, because he has some real problems.
