Artest drank booze during half-time...

Was checking out ESPN this morning and came across this article about Ron Artest.

"I used to drink Hennessy ... at halftime," Artest said in an interview with the Sporting News, which is publishing the story in its Dec. 7 issue. "I [kept it] in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store and get it."

Hennessy is a French cognac. Artest said he drank when he played for the Chicago Bulls, where he played for his first three seasons (1999-2002).

"When I was a 19-year-old father, whew. I was a single pimp! I was wild," he told the magazine. "A lot of marijuana and alcohol -- even before [that age]. ... I [still] party and I have fun, but not like I used to. I used to drink every night and party every night."

I knew this guy had a screw loose, but I guess this helps explain a few things...

I read that article also this morning.

You can't blame him for those Bulls days. They had just lost the 98 Championship team and were in the re-building days, which was sad for a few years.

Bulls needed to be crap prior to Jordan, when Jordan was retired and after Jordan actually retired from the Bulls for good.

It made for a more epicness, sorta like the movie SpaceJam.

If Artest thinks he's breaking new ground by putting this out there, Keon Clark made similar admittions a couple of years ago.

The part I find funny about Artest's Chicago tenure is that he apparently applied for a job at Circuit City (a US equivalent of JB HiFi) so that (in his words) he'd 'have something to do' and be able to get staff discount. You know, because being an NBA player isn't a full-time job with all the travel and everything, and you couldn't afford to pay full price with your 1st-round draft pick paycheck.
