Playing for the Riverside Hawks of the American Amateur Sports League, Brand and Odom are both his teammates on the current Clippers. Player evaluation [edit this paragraph] He is not "Flying Man" Jordan, he is not "Shark" O'Neal, he is not " "Little Emperor" James. He doesn't have the scoring ability of Kobe Bryant, the tragedy of Reggie Miller, and the gentlemanly demeanor of Grant Hill. In the eyes of NBA Commissioner David Stern, he is not even a qualified player, but he is deeply remembered in people's hearts. Because he said: "I have my own world, and I only live in my own world." Yes, he is Ron Artest, a figure who inherited Dennis Rodman's mantle in the post-Jordan era. The most impressive thing about Artest is his rough temper. In fact, all this stems from his impatient father and miserable childhood. On November 13, 1979, Artest was born in the Queensbridge area of ??New York. He has been living in the shadow of violence since he was a child. Once, a co-worker had a dispute with his father, Artest Sr., and Sr. Artest rushed up, picked him up, and threw him to the ground. He also witnessed his father beating his mother many times. When he was 13 years old, his parents divorced. Under the influence of his father for a long time, Artest's temper is very much like his father's. Once a child provoked him in the school cafe, and he choked the child violently. As long as someone laughed at him, he would knock them down with one punch, even his own cousin. "I think it was the collapse and disintegration of the family that made this child's temper moody." The old Artest felt guilty, so when Artest was 8 years old, his father sent him to an anger control treatment center. . When they learned that this energetic child who always liked to yell when he had nothing to do had no particular favorite sports, the doctor suggested that Artest play basketball, hoping that he could vent his inner anxiety and uneasiness through this intense sport. . Basketball made Artest happy, made his life more fulfilling and exciting than before, and made him the darling of the school, but the violent anger was still everywhere. In high school, Artest still roared without scruples against players much bigger than him. At St. John's University, coach Fran Fraschella racked his brains to train this special player, and he even resorted to "bitter tactics." He demoted Artest to the team's second team in order to stimulate his fighting spirit. "I'm not trying to call him to the second team, but I'm deliberately trying to control his temper. To be honest, everyone on the team is a little afraid of it." He is simply a thug on the court, either waving his elbows or constantly He used dirty tricks, and of course his signature glare also made many players shudder.

In college alone, he received numerous technical fouls and sometimes got into fights with teammates. But Fraschella considered him a gifted child, so he has always been more tolerant of him. However, the seemingly tough Artest is very afraid of failure. So every time after losing a game, Artest always yelled at his teammates loudly. He pointed at his teammates' noses and scolded them: "Do you still want to eat tonight?! No one is qualified to eat tonight!" After getting angry, he felt uncomfortable. Coach Fraschella understood Artest's move very well: "He doesn't like losing. He's worried that if he doesn't play well, he will return to the Queensbridge area." Therefore, he trains extremely hard. His teammates left after practice, but Artest insisted on practicing until he was exhausted. He didn't give up until he couldn't walk anymore. When he returned to the hotel room, he fell asleep. In June 1999, Artest finally fulfilled his prediction of entering the professional basketball circle at the age of 19. The Chicago Bulls selected him with the 16th overall pick in the first round. Entering the NBA seems to herald high income, but Artest almost went bankrupt during his rookie season with the Bulls. He spent all his salary to support the brothers who were hanging out with him in the Queensbridge area. In the end, he had to apply for a job in an agency to make up for his life. In the NBA, strict and complete rules still do not restrain Artest's hot temper and weird behavior. He once rushed to the press box after a game and angrily ripped off a phone. He once returned to the locker room after a game and arrogantly knocked the blackboard to the ground, even though the coach was standing in front of him. He once slammed a $100,000 TV monitor to the ground, shattering the poor machine into pieces. He also said that if he were the commissioner of the NBA, he would never punish players who kicked the ball into the stands because "I think the kids like to see this." In the league, players are scrambling to get into the All-Stars, but he dismisses this: "The fans had better not select me into this lineup, because I can't shoot, I can only play defense, and I can only commit fouls. . Everybody would ask me, 'What the hell are you doing? '" He became more famous after the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills, but he also paid a heavy price. A ticket cost him 73 games and $5 million in salary. However, just before the Auburn Hills incident, he released his own CD. The Queensbridge area has always been rich in HIP-HOP singers, and even Artest is very good at singing. As a result, the CD became a hit even before it was released. Outside the court, his supporters held CDs and eagerly waited for him to sign. "I've been obsessed with HIP-HOP since I was 4 years old. When I'm 30, I hope I can become a professional musician." On October 31, 2006, his latest rap album "My World" was released in Indiana Listed. He previously spent the summer traveling around major cities in Europe and the United States on multiple tours. "Please use the standards of an artist to evaluate my work. Don't think of me as a basketball player who plays music and makes music in his spare time!" Artest said in an almost demanding tone. In this album, he sang NBA President David Stern as a clown: "David Stern! Damn it, David Stern. I'm going to teach you some black rules, you learn it hard. "Although he will face serious punishment, he still expresses himself bravely like a fighter. Of course, there was another incident that shocked the entire league. In the summer of 2001, "Flying Man" Jordan mocked Artest during a warm-up match, and then Artest slammed into Jordan, breaking the "Flying Man"'s ribs. Jordan did not hate him: "In fact, I like this kid." To this day, Jordan still feels regretful, "I know he is a talented person, but I also understand that his violent personality will be a disaster in his life. "Indeed, he is a warrior who constantly challenges the rules of the NBA because he is fearless. In his world, he is the only one and nothing can dominate his world. But in today's highly commercialized NBA, it is difficult to tolerate such a bohemian alternative player. Sooner or later, he will have to pay the price for all this, and all this will eventually bring him to an end. I hope "Big Bug" Rodman's ending will not belong to him...
