Ron Artest Joking Around During Postgame Conference
Posted by HarleyJane in Humor, Sports, YouTube Video's on May 1st, 2009
After helping the Houston Rockets beat the Portland Trailblazers, to go onto the 2nd round of the playoffs, Ron Artest jokes around with reporters that he’s “been in the stands before”.
It all started in the fourth quarter of the game, when Ron Artest went up into the stands after saving a ball. He didn’t come down right away, because the fans went crazy and all started patting him on the back and cheering him on, similar to a football player jumping onto the wall after scoring a touchdown.
When asked “how it felt to go up into the stands” after the game, Artest said, “well, uh… I’ve been in the stands before….I wanted to soak it in, so I sat down. This guy offered me some beer, when he did that, I’m gonna sit down and enjoy this, he’s not throwing it at me. I was gonna take a sip, but there’s too many cameras.”

Video of “Questionable” Calls Against Yao Ming

In a recent NBA game between the Houston Rockets & Cleveland Cavaliers, there were some really “questionable” calls made against Yao Ming. I was actually watching this game, and I can say that there were a few other calls that seemed a little odd. Not just against Yao Ming, but also against a few other Rockets players.
As you can see in the video, the calls were clearly wrong. Especially when you watch the close replay of Yao Ming and Ben Wallace. And then, of course, Yao couldn’t get a single call on the other end.
Check the video out for yourself:
Questionable Calls Against Yao Ming
I don’t know about you, but those calls were pretty horrible. Worst officiating I’ve seen against Yao Ming I’ve seen all year. Here’s the box score from that game. There are plenty of other similar videos showing the same thing.

Yao Ming’s Incredibly Lucky Shot
Posted by HarleyJane in Sports, YouTube Video's on November 1st, 2008
To open the 2008-2009 NBA season, the Houston Rockets hosted the Memphis Grizzlies at the Toyota Center. Led by Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady & Ron Artest, the Rockets ended up winning the game 82-71.
During the 3rd Quarter, Yao Ming attempts a shot in the paint, but ends up getting fouled by Memphis. While the defender was hanging onto his right arm, Yao uses his weak hand to toss up a blind hail-mary shot over his shoulder. He got the basket, the foul, and the extra shot.
Incredibly Lucky Shot by Yao Ming.
That’s what I would call an Off-Balanced, No-Look, Over-the-Shoulder, Left-Handed, While-Getting-Fouled shot of the year… or just lucky as hell. Either way, I’d like to be the first to nominate this shot for an ESPY.
