Was Ron Artest a victim?
Um, to me that was the old high school ‘I’m not (expletive) with you, but I’ll (expletive) you up! I can’t respect that. I don’t think he should have run in the stands. He should have handled his business with Ben Wallace and the whole thing would have never happened. If him and Ben Wallace were on the floor fighting, then it would have never happened. It was just another NBA fight, until someone offered Ron Artest their beverage. But if some fool is throwing a cup in your face … He got mashed in the face prior to that. I would have been more enraged by the mush than the cup. (The cup) is cooling me off right now (laughs). That was whack. How are you holding up with all the legal stuff you’ve been going through? I’m good. With all the drama, at the end of the day, I’ve got a loving family. We out of the hood, baby! Do you feel like you’ve just been bombarded with negativity? Yeah, I’ve got a lot of stuff swirling around me, a lot of controversy. I like to call myself Mr. Controversy
