yao & artest are going to be quite the duo.........
Yao Ming made several comments about Ron Artest from Beijing on Wednesday and Artest is not thrilled with what was said.
"Hopefully, he's not fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands," is the Yao comment that got Artest freestyling. "I'm still ghetto," said Artest. "That's not going to change...Yao has played with a lot of black players, but I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really represents his culture as much as I represent my culture. Once Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about." It's nice to know that even when Artest is the centerpiece of a very important pending trade (Aug. 14), he'll still say the first thing that pops into his head.

Hey you asshole. You do not represent my culture. I hate when black people say they proud of being ghetto. The say they represent our race. You represent your stupid ignorant self and thats it. Gosh.
Damn i wish he would get a public relations person. And stop just saying what he feels like.
I don't see a problem with what Yao said. He stated that he hopes Artest isn't fighting anymore.
It seems to me that it's a logical question in regards to someone who went into the stands to fight, has had run-ins with the cops, and was suspended by his former team for wanting off to promote his rap cd or whatever.
Just because a guy might be a good athlete doesn't mean you want him on your team if he's a distraction. I believe that Artest will be fine though once Yao gets to know him personally.
