The lakers are very similar to the new england patriots, in that they know how to control their hoodlums. Both can take in trouble-makers and straighten them out.
No saying bad stuff to the press, very little complaining or backstabbing, etc.

Other sports organizations can't do that as well. The raiders, the bengals, and the 76'ers are prolly the worst.

I agree that artest would be in the penitentiary if it weren't for his God-given ability in sports.
I also think the lakers were a better team before they traded for artest.

Buy hey, someone has to throw up 3-pointer bricks one after another!
