There was one other indisputable highlight from last night. Ron Artest, who in the past has hit the court with a mohawk and a 'do promoting his record label, decided to promote unity through his scalp.

As Artest himself told the Sacramento Bee:
Ron Artest changed his hairstyle on Thursday night, trumping the Mohawk he wore back in mid-January with a more loyal look. He shaved "Kings" on the back of his head, with the lettering stretching from his left ear and nearly to his forehead on the other side.

"You can do that when you're on the best team in the league," the hyperbole-prone Artest said as he bounded through the locker room before the Kings faced the Lakers.
Just when Artest's looking like he's worn out his welcome...he comes with something that emphatically embraces the team. I'll never really understand why Arenas is "quirky" but Artest is merely a "thug." Sure, he might punch a few people, but otherwise he's the purest oddball this sport has.
