00:00You mentioned Ron Artest.
00:01I can't not ask you about Ron Artest.
00:03Man, what was Ron like back in the day
00:04when you were coming up?
00:05What do you remember about him?
00:06Is there a Ron Artest story that you can tell on this show?
00:11Yeah, I could tell a story, many stories,
00:13but he was who he is, you know, during his career.
00:17Competitive, you know, others being better than him,
00:22better than us, really fueled him.
00:25We played together in the pros,
00:26and I remember one story he said,
00:29hey, E, come here, and he was in the bathroom,
00:31which I thought was kind of weird,
00:33and he pointed to the stall, and he said,
00:37you know Michael Jordan took a crap on this toilet?
00:41That's when we played at the Berta Center in the Bulls.
00:43So that's who Ron was, and I actually reached out.
00:47You know, he asked me about one of the ex-players
00:50that we played with, like, hey, is he okay?
00:52I'm trying to check on him.
00:54Great soul, great heart, great person,
00:56and that's who he is.
00:57Dude, great story, that is incredible, man.
01:01That is so funny, that is absolutely awesome.
