Ron Artest Plays in an L.A. Dodgeball Game (COOL)

You might have seen this clip on PTI last night but I thought it was worth a post this morning as well.  I think it's safe to say that Ron Artest will never surprise anyone with anything he ever does at this point in his life.  He is just a different type of dude.  That is for sure. 

As much as I should hate Artest because he's a Laker, I find myself liking him more and more all the time.  He might be certifiably insane but there is something about him that seems genuine.  He actually seems like a good guy even though he was considered a thug for so many years.

Most people probably think that this new nice and friendly Artest is just an act to try and fix his image but at this point I don't even think that's what it's all about.  It just seems like he wants to be liked by people and make his fans happy. 

When he first moved to L.A. last year, he had an online chat with fans and asked what there was to do for fun in the city.  One fan was bold enough to ask him to come over for dinner and not only did he accept but he actually showed up!  That's pretty damn cool. 

On a side note, this might be the biggest collection of nerds I've seen in a long time.  Are dodgeball leagues always filled with this many unathletic toolbags?  If so, I need to get a team together ASAP so I can dominate the shit out of the Boston Dodgeball scene.  It wouldn't even be a contest...
