Kobe interviewed by Ron Artest in 2008

Kumbaya!

This interview took place on May 26th, 2008.

Seems like at the time there are real mutual respect between Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest… And a little infatuation on Ron-Ron’s part.

The highlights:

*Ron Artest only respects Tim Duncan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant.
*Kobe is a family man.
*Artest played against Kobe as a teenager. Kobe was called “The Next Grant Hill”.
*Dwyane Wade complains about Ron’s defense.
*Kobe’s still lighting up the Toronto Raptors.
*Kobe is a family man.
*Kobe is a family man.

No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

And Brandon Roy :P

"The brownies,'' Fernandez said after the game. "The brownies are good for me to make three-points.''

yeah but he doesnt respect Tim or Kobe anymore

in the first round Ron said he now looks up to the younger guys inthe NBA. CP3, LeBron, KD, Roy, etc. Ron claims he wishes he was as mature when he was young as they are.

Better Image

If you remember the NBA and Kobe were trying to make his image better last year during the playoffs. I remember vomiting a little bit during Kobe interviews trying to show what a great person he is. I think he might have even cried….I don’t remember.

Rapist

Kobe is a rapist on and off the court, through and through. Family man my ass. L.A. is the perfect city for him, because he’s so friggin superficial.

RON ARTEST DOESN'T REALLY RESPECT KOBE LIKE THAT.

That was just Ron trying to get into the TV business as he claimed at that time when he was still with the Kings. He tried getting on TNT, ESPN and they didn’t want him. So he got on the Best Damn Sports Show for a big.

He talks about it on his radio show in Sacramento. Ron explains that he was praising kobe so much because he was being a “commentator”.

Couple clips from the show.
