I don't know about other Laker fans, but I have to admit. When Ron took that shot at the end of the game, I yelled out "No!". Then it went in, and I was overjoyed. Thank you Metta! You are one of my favorites.

Kobe went to 3 straight finale no games Off and he gave it his all

His game winner against Phoenix is memorable,remains so

Guys like Ron and Rasheed are known for their toughness which overshadows their talent. Underrated as ballers

I remember us listening to him to say “I’d like to thank my therapist” and that was the moment I knew he’s one of my favorite lakers on and off the floor. All heart

Kobe would’ve gotten #6 if Jeanie Buss were CEO at the time instead of Jim Buss. Jim had no idea how to be a CEO & he made a lot of mistakes smh. Kobe deserved a better supporting cast than what Jim gave him

“ I am in the gym sweating out the alcohol “ Metta World Peace ladies in gentlemen.

4:14 marks tells you exactly how Phil’s offense works. Kobe always stayed in the flow so he was always ready to shoot hit or miss. Ron didn’t understand that until he figured it out. That’s when his points went up.

Amazing teammates; two super tough legends.

When people say their favorite defenders. They say Rodman. Draymond. Shaq. I say Ron Artest aka MWP

Game 1 4th Quarter play by play Lakers up 5 92 - 87 Kobe miss 2pt shot up 92-89 (2:42 minute mark) Fisher miss 3 pt shot up 92-89 (2:00 minute mark) Pau misses 2 pt shot up 92-89 (1:43 minute mark) Kobe makes 2 point shot up 94-91 (1:00 minute mark) Kobe bad pass turnover up 94-93 (20 secs left) Pau Turnover lost ball (lakers down 94-95 3.1 sec left ) Kobe miss 3pt shot, lakers lose 94-96 METTA 1-8 FG 12% shooting 0-3 3pt shooting 2 points. Kobe 14-29 FG 48% shooting 4-9 3pt shooting 44.4% 36 points Pau 5-10 FG 50% shooting 15 points Blaming Kobe for game 1 is ridiculous ron.

Ron is to kobe what denis was to mike lmao

Wish artest could 1v1 Draymond PPV

didn't realize it's mike miller, another savior of lebron

lakers organization wasted so many years of Kobe's prime. Easily could have gotten #6 or #7 despite a brutal WC, and much more physical/defensive era

When I was a young kid I saw magic play in his last 3 seasons… but I literally grew up watching Kobe come in and literally take over the team and then we all know how it went down🥹

The craziest thing I’ve seen is Artest swing his elbow and connecting right on Harden’s temple. Straight up gave him a concussion on the hardwood.

Easy Kobe over Lebron no disrespect just facts !🏀

REAL TALK.. Ron artest is the Mike Tyson of basketball. He’s that guys you don’t mess with

Artest is a real one

Metta aka Ron hasnt aged one bit lol

Meta- I went and ate yesterday” Miller-“ OH at sac”

Kobe is the Goat 🐐

Sound like Meta still hold some grief towards Kobe. Even, after the man MADE you a champion 🏆. These ninjas ain't loyal. Shalom ✊🏿 🤴🏿

lol Mike Miller is CHASING them clickbait moments and phrases / quotes lol

Kobe has won with the least , idgaf what anybody say and carried them all.season to the win , nobody has done that then him curry. He carried them in 2015 and 2020 no help , peoole say he had klay but look at klay now easy to hit wide open shots when curry triple teamed if u hoop and know sports u know know

Lebum is absolutely overrated

Love Ronnie !

My goat

I would understand how the top athletes worked out really early in the day during the off-season. But during the season, man that is hard. Coming off a game that ended at night, then wake up early to start practicing at 5:30 am. I did hear Kobe mention that he deprived himself of sleep to keep that pace.

🐐🐐

Hey Ron, you say Kobe should just Let it Naturally that's why he didn't get number 6 ring. You bums got the chance in 2013 NBA playoffs. What happened dawg? He dragged you to the playoffs right! So what happened to you and the Lakers with out him due to achilles? Swept by Spurs. That's so natural. See, the Dallas team in 2011 won because you got some teammates who doesn't know how to adjust that's what Pjax said in his exit interview in 2011. Plus why are you not mentioning the real deal? The dum du. Son of Dr. BUZZ announced like the 3rd game of the hornets searies that they won't bring back Pjax no matter what the outcome of the playoffs. Same man, who chose D antoni over Pjax in 2012. Stop making excuses. The life from that Lakers squad got sucked out that's what Fish said in 2011. Kobe just continued to play hard even he got severe left ankle sprain and deteriorating knees. Jeez! Good thing I'm not a sucker for revisionist.

10 min in i realize the white dude is mike miller lol (first time tuning to this podcast)

If Ron sat in for Gil on his podcast, youd never know the difference.

Damn Artest You could’ve Spoke more up for Kobe 😔

kiobe haters pin pointing him shooting poorly in that game 7 against Boston. when everyone shot poorly in that game as Garnett said. "everyone shot poorly, everybody's tired and everybody shooting poorly, not just the lakers but us also"

Nah we gotta talk about how Ron was going CRAZY in the playoffs vs us when Yao go hurt 😂 he not lying, that series was too close for comfort. Best Artest I ever seen

Lebron won his first finals? What about Wade winning his second and Bosh with his first, they won because they stacked

OG's

Ron steady sneak dissing

Loved Lil girls too

People discredit Phil as a coach but shows he has his team and those 11 titles he won as coach were not just cuz he had great players but he knows how to work his players and get them in right mindset

Shoutout to the Mamba✊🏿

he never averages 25 against the lakers in 2009 semi's

When Ron Artest says anything, I believe it. Real OG never afraid to speak up truth

Big time player

Ron arrest first nba player with cte

Cool guy but that’s cap he never averaged 24-25 points in the playoffs with Houston lol

Kobe was born in a horse year too haha

Ron was cooking the lakers????? He averaged 15ppg on 37%fg and 27% from 3..what is he on? Is this dementia?

Lebron on that balco

Man this is a bad podcast. From letting Ron to talk about the beginning of training camp, to instantly asking about a shot in the Finals. Wtf

Wow so kobe helped you get a chip and he is hating on kobe lol... thats crazy

Ron a str8 hater

How many teams you play with? Kobe only one to get you a title!!!! Lebron smh. 1 vs 1 Kobe or Lebron lol. Kobe would destroy lebum.

Foh

Ron is cool but he was not only taking 3 to 4 shots 😂 Ron was shooting so bad I was upset that they let go Ariza for him. He was missing so many clean looks. I was pissed because he's right. He was hoopin in 2009 before Yao got hurt. But he was nowhere near the same player. Because he missed so many easy shots. He became an offensive liability most games putting more pressure on kobe. The lakers offense didnt make a bunch of 3's. Gasol could knock down a mid range here and there. So could Odom off the bench. When he and Gasol played the 4 & 5 But kobe didnt have the spacing todays stars have with the bigs & wing shooting through the whole game. So Ron not being a decent shooter as a laker overall was tough. He came through in clutch moments but he was hurting the team offensively overall. Now in his mind, he's turned that into he couldn't get a chance to get shots because of kobe. No kobe had to force it more because Ron couldn't shoot overall. It got to a point where the thought went from he's in a slump to okay he cant shoot this season. There were games in that finals lakers lost by single digits and he shot 1-9FG There was one game lakers lost by 6 and Ron and Fisher both shot like 1-9FG As far as Dallas and OkC. Nobody in the West other than two seperate kobe teams went to 3 straight finals And kobe did that with & without Shaq on two occasions 2000 - 2002 & 2008 - 2010 in a time where Tim Duncan's Spurs were there. Dirk would occasionally get scorching.. Steve Nash's Suns . Denver was a 50 win 8th seed one year. The west was TOUGH. Warriors only went to all those finals by adding KD. Bron is not going to 8 straight finals out of the West.. Kobe did it twice . 3 straight finals 2000-2002 & 2008-2010 Dirk was in his zone. Nobody was getting in his way 2011 . 2012 OKC was tough . Young & Hungry. Sure Miami beat OKC 4 -1 and they lucked up with Harden missing easy shots all series But Miami was flopping to win that series. Refs putting Kd in foul trouble with phantom calls when OKC had the lead. Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy was trying so hard not to call out the foolery refs pulled. Especially Van Gundy. He was lowkey pissed. It was not easy dealing with the west. You see what that Heat team dealt with playing the Spurs when Duncan is 37 or 38 years old.

Kobe kooked u jordan u watched but okay
