OT: Ron Ron To Auction his Ring

[HailBlazers]

In his next life, Artest may devote his whole life to mental-health awareness. So maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that after playing 11 seasons in the NBA and finally winning a title, he’s planning on auctioning the championship ring as a fundraiser to put more psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists in schools.

Great Cause, especially for the poor and middle class who could really use it

He should put the money toward condom give-aways. Too many people have kids that shouldn't.

You know, after the Rockets beat the Blazers in the first round I thought KP would try to sign Ron for the full MLE.

This is a wonderful thing he is doing. Mental illness, disease, and disorders are still taboo, misunderstood, and not talked about openly enough. It is good to see the cause getting some news and funding.

Yep. still, a big factor in homelessness.

Well put.

He's a Laker. Screw Artest. He could capture Osama Bin Laden and I'd still find fault with him.

(wonder what mental illness that is). woot.

Thanks, great find! And I think he'll regret later in life that he sold his ring. Just donate the monetary equivalent.

 

[MickZagger]

He should break his ring down and make a grill out of it, like Edgerrin James did.

 

[Mamba]

Can't he order more than one ring? I remember reading he was going to order @ least 2.

 

[DeanMoriarty]

Wait, so he's investing it in himself?
