Ron Artest Got Liquored Up During Games as a Bull
Ron Artest is famous for being insane. Did he really see someone stab someone to death over a basketball game as a kid? Did he really run into the stands over spilled beer? Does he really think he’s a good rapper? It’s basically accepted as a fact that he took a job at Circuit City while he was with the Bulls to get a discount. But while he is definitely nuts, so far there is no reason to think he’s a liar. Which makes this new story all the more disturbing:
Ron Artest says he drank alcohol during games as a member of the Bulls, in part because the team lost so frequently.
“I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime,” said Artest, who played with the Bulls from 1999-2002 and now is with the Lakers. “I (kept it) in my locker. I’d just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it.”
I mean sure it’s boring to lose games, but I don’t think that excuses this. On the other hand, at least he was putting forth effort which is more than can be said for the current incarnation of the Bulls. I probably would have been drinking on those crappy teams though, so who am I to judge?

hahaha, I know what store he’s talking about. They just tore it down to make a parking lot for the stadium a few months ago.

So next time Artest plays at the UC, you can probably catch him wandering the parking lot pregame.
