Ron Artest Found Out About His Trade While Live on Sports Talk Radio

Plenty has been said about the many, um, idiosyncrasies of Ron Artest. But no matter what your opinion is of the man, no one should have to find out about being traded to another team while live on the air on a national sports talk radio show. That's exactly how Ron-Ron discovered he was headed to Houston though. As he called in to wish Sirius radio host Scott Ferrall a happy birthday, he was given the news, and seemed relatively unfazed, all things considered.



I love how, once Artest realized what had happened, he immediately focused his attention on the primary reason for the call: the host's birthday. This proves one of two things: either Artest isn't as self-centered as some people have perceived him to be, or that he's not all there mentally. You make the call.
