So Ron Artest pulls off a minor miracle w/ less than 1 second left in the game to give the Lakers a 3-2 lead in the NBA western playoffs. He was having a horrible game and let's face it, he hasn't contributed a lot of scoring period since being acquired by the LAL. He's been considered an odd fit on the team.
What's interesting, (at least to me), is that he was previously best-known for being the bad guy in the worst brawl in NBA history when he was with Indiana. Not being a huge basketball fan, I did not know a lot else about him and along with a lot of other people considered him a real jerk and an example of what's wrong with modern pro athletes, etc.
Since arriving in L.A., he has not distinguished himself much on the court but it turns out that he's one of the nicest, most approachable guys in all of sports. Humble, friendly and just nice. It's the weirdest thing...
