Ron Artest is living up to how crazily entertaining his Twitter account is this offseason, as he’s played dodgeball for his reality show, interviewed himself for ESPN the Magazine and gave me permission to hang out with him and his friends at his Queensbridge homecoming barbecue. The latest notch on his proverbial crazy-man gun is here and it’s a doozy; he was spotted driving a tiny race car on Labor Day with a top speed of 152 MPH through the streets of Los Angeles, then getting pulled over for expired tags.
Sometimes I wonder if he thinks he’s some kind of character on the Cartoon Network.
From TMZ:
Law enforcement sources tell us Artest was cited because the registration on the car was expired. But get this — we’re told the car isn’t even registered to Ron but somebody out in Tennessee. Ron — who was smiling throughout the entire incident — was eventually sent on his way but sources tell us cops were “very happy” he was wearing a helmet.
I can only imagine him doing this while humming along to the jazz tootings of Miles Davis as he quietly ponders whether he has enough time to acquire the pet piglet that’s been on his mind.

Ron Artest has always been on the cusp of pure concentrated crazy. I thought he would fully meltdown by now and tossed out in the Rodman trash bin. But low and behold he held it together long enough to join the Lakers and win a championship. Earth to Ron… be careful young man… for the life you save may be your own. Although I must say the Lakers signing this spaceball was sheer genius.

Do NOT let that man have any pets. He’s been in trouble with law numerous times for neglecting the pets he already has.

“neglect” is pretty debatable.
