My time has been taken up by sleep, work, and NBA playoffs. Basketball is taking over my life and leaving my with sleep deprivation, but I love it because I can watch a game that's so free flowing and so much about finesse, becoming physical and sometimes violent. The play that defines this play the most is Ron Artest, and after a crazy Game 2, he gave a crazy story about one of his boys being killed over a game of basketball.
Originally people laughed and couldn't believe what they just heard, but no less than a couple hours after Artest told the story, internet Sherlocks found the story to be true. This ladies and gentleman is the world that Artest and many players come from. Ron-Ron just happens to be the most talkative about his past. ESPN the Mag did a feature about Artest's childhood, that reveals so much about the player that he is today. If you're interested in this kind of stuff, you should take a look:
"But it wasn't enough. After several calls from worried teachers, the Artests sent their 8-year-old son to anger-management therapy. The counselor talked and listened and found out what would distract Ron from all the trouble at home. After a few weeks, he offered a suggestion: basketball."[ ESPN the Mag: Scary Good ]
