The Detroit Pistons took one on the chin today at home, losing 98-97 to the Los Angeles Lakers. This game saw a nice matchup of former Kentucky players – Brandon Knight for the Piston and Jodie Meeks for the Lakers. Knight finished with 10 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals. Meeks chipped in 5 points, incuding one (of course) three ball.
However, the most intriguing parts of the game involved Knight. See below.
Watch Brandon throw it down HARD on Pau Gasol. Also, note Drummond’s deft dribbling and passing. Not bad, big fella. The flush was the best part though.
Ah, yes. Metta World Peace – another in the long list of bad guys who change their name to avoid the authorities. Metta deals Knight a sneaky cheap uppercut and land himself a flagrant foul. Even Ray Lewis agrees that Ron Artest is a bad human being.

From Knight.
“The play needs to be reviewed because he definitely threw a punch,” Knight said. “It felt like he threw a punch. That’s why I reacted the way I did.
“The play was over and he grabbed me around the neck. If someone grabs you around the neck, you’re not just going to let that happen. You do what you need to get that person off you.”
From Ron Ron (who seems really clueless).
“He’s a small guy. He was trying his hardest to keep me off him. He worked hard, man,” World Peace said. “That kid, I don’t know where he’s from, I don’t know what school he went to, because he was guarding me and I was crashing the boards. He’s a tough kid, man. He tried to keep me off the glass and he did a good job. That’s all I can say. He’s a tough kid, very great. He’s a tough point guard or shooting guard or whatever he is.”

Wow Ron, you’re so cool
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:45 pm
Artest is full of bs on this one. You’ve played games against him before and don’t know if hes a sg or pg? Whatever dude just because of that I don’t believe anything else in his long winded explanation
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:49 pm
That kid is from KENTUCKY! whatever your name is?
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:50 pm
That’s what that “explanation” is…he didn’t even address the incident.
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:53 pm
The fact a person like Ron Artest is allowed to make millions of dollars a year is an atrocity.
That is why I would never spend a dime supporting the NBA. Metta World Peace….What a joke.
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:54 pm
Artest sounded like a meth-head……
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:58 pm
It’s crazy how much bigger Artest’s arms are than Knight’s. Artest is a solid dude.
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:59 pm
This dude needs to be out of the league. It never ends with him. He’s a clown. The dude is a terrible role model for kids who watch.
February 3rd, 2013 at 6:24 pm
That bitz.
In time, his ‘werld’ will – take a hit.
Dude is one world wide Va gina.

Ron Artest made knight his b@tch.
February 3rd, 2013 at 6:50 pm
Where is the video of Kobe dunking on his head?
February 3rd, 2013 at 6:55 pm
And DeMarcus Cousins gets all kinds of hell from the media for stuff they think is bad! I just hope Ron Artest or whatever the F**K his name is today gets the same treatment if not more from the media that Big Cuz gets! If not then it will be another reason why the media is full of SH^t when it coems to certain UK players!
February 3rd, 2013 at 6:56 pm
I think BK would beat that AZZ anyways! Good thing the refs where there, would love to see BK tag that head a couple of times.
February 3rd, 2013 at 7:06 pm
no super bowl live blog or anything??
its not just that the bachelor posts are sad, unoriginal and lacking of any sense of wit while simply pointing out and making fun of people.
its that the bachelor is worthy of multiple, repetitive posts yet the biggest sporting event of the year isnt worth a mention.
February 3rd, 2013 at 7:06 pm
Ron Artest = BBN newest most hated villian.
February 3rd, 2013 at 7:26 pm
Meta World Piece of $h!t.
February 3rd, 2013 at 7:33 pm
Artest has always been a punk, thug and no name changing can ever change that about him!!!…Damn!!!…I didn’t know BK had that kind of hops!!!…
February 3rd, 2013 at 7:38 pm
#5 I am ok with what you say about Artest. I do find it hard to believe that any CATS fan could say they dont support the NBA unless you don’t want blue chips playing at RUPP each year. So drop the BS and support NBA it supports UK. DOUBLE STANDARD

Knight was wearing a pair of chin nuts after I hammered one down on him.
February 3rd, 2013 at 7:47 pm
Artest is a jerk! he clearly threw a punch. He is luck Maxiel did not see that. He would have kicked his ass!
February 3rd, 2013 at 7:50 pm
I wish this years players had that much fight in them. We act like we’re afraid to get a little sweat on us from the other player.
February 3rd, 2013 at 8:03 pm
Seriously, how is he not in jail? Also, how hasn’t he had the hell beat out of him?
February 3rd, 2013 at 8:13 pm
Jay Z is one lucky son of a gun.
February 3rd, 2013 at 8:51 pm
Too bad Roger Goodell doesn’t run the NBA. This punk mother f’er would be flipping burgers. Or be on Survivor.
February 3rd, 2013 at 9:06 pm
Knight is just another kid who’s family took money from Cow and Uncle Wes. He deserves what he gets. If Knight had a pair of nuts between his legs, he would have done something about it.
February 3rd, 2013 at 9:14 pm
what a dumb n ig g er.
February 3rd, 2013 at 9:48 pm
27) I agree with you on knight.
February 3rd, 2013 at 9:54 pm
26 and 27 are probably the same nutless trolling pimply-faced misfit teenager living in momma’s basement. Moderators, please flush these turds.
Back to the article, Artest changing his name to “Metta World Peace” is a little bit like Mother Theresa changing her name to “Satanic Worship Warfare”. What a thug.
February 3rd, 2013 at 9:54 pm
28 too – KSR should display ISP addresses on these ashats to expose them.
February 3rd, 2013 at 11:43 pm
Love Knight but that was not a punch. MWP is still a terrible person, tho.
February 3rd, 2013 at 11:50 pm
That was weird. Artest seemed to want to find a way to prolong close physical contact.
February 4th, 2013 at 12:48 am
Be glad when someone puts a cap In Ron artest, he’s a disgrace to the sport.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:38 am
Ron Artest is a sociopath. He should be in prison. I am so tired of his act.
February 4th, 2013 at 6:21 am
I make Artest look like a saint.
February 4th, 2013 at 8:42 am
I want to punch Artest in the throat
