Ron Artest Pretends to Be Luis Scola, Pranks Rockets Postgame Show

Luis Scola plays for the Houston Rockets. Ron Artest is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. On Wednesday night, the Rockets handed the Lakers a 109-99 loss, LA's fourth defeat in as many games.

Scola scored 14 points in 31 minutes of action while Artest added four points in just under 17 minutes of work. I mention only these players because during the Rockets' unofficial post-game show, the host thought he was talking to Scola about Houston's big win. Turns out it was Artest, who apparently had nothing better to do than make prank calls.

Via The Game:


A couple thoughts. First, that's the worst accent ever. Second, the "I'm going to celebrate by eating Spanish food" is the worst answer to the question, "So, how are you going to celebrate?"

That said, since the host was giggling throughout the interview I can only assume that he knew early on that a) he wasn't talking to Scola, and b) it almost certainly had to be Artest.
