Ron Artest has to be the dumbest motherfu&$er in professional sports.

I know this isn’t new news, but felt it is something that needs to be addressed again, and again, and again. I really believe Ron Ron’s stupidity stems from his constant need for attention.

Artest’s stupidity is so severe that it caused him to dye his hair purple and gold last Sunday. He outlined the word “defense” into his skull in three different languages: Hebrew, Japanese and Hindi.

In case you missed the golden-haired child, here’s a picture of that ridiculous dome.

This wasn’t the first time Artest has shaved logos or words into his head to attract attention to himself. He used his noggin as a billboard when he was with the Pacers, Kings and Rockets as well.

One of my favorites came with Indiana. Artest shaved the words “Tru Warier” into his head. Here’s a picture.

This isn’t a freakin’ tweet Ron; you can actually have more space than 10 characters to display the correct spellings of the words. And damn, even if you are shortening “Warrior” to “Warier” at least use an “o”.

In honor of Artest’s mental disability, I’ve dug up a few of the best quotes from the craziest character in the Association.

“Paul I’m so sorry to humiliate you on TV by pulling your shorts down.” – Artest said after dropping Paul Pierce’s pants during a game. Here’s the video.

“I definitely should have got a pass on that one, when I went into the stands. Fortunately beer doesn’t harm your eyes; you can just wipe it out. I lay on my bench in my neighborhood and nobody throws beer or rocks at me.” – Artest said after the fan brawl at The Palace in Detroit.

“Stay focused and stay away from unknown females.” – Artest’s words of advice for younger guys in the NBA. Maybe words Ben Roethlisberger could adhere to as well.

“When I was kid, I didn’t know anything about spayed or neutered. When I found out about it I thought it was expensive, but it’s not, you can have it done at a cheap price. And it will save more lives.” – Artest said during an unscripted PETA ad. This video is hilarious, please check it out.

"I'm growing up, maturing, but at the same time I'm hood forever.” – Artest during interview.

"I like David Stern, I think he's from the hood." – Artest after meeting with the commissioner.

“In the NBA, they don't promote guys like me. They like guys who like Cheerios, good guys. But I find a way to promote myself.” – Artest said after he was probably not getting the attention he deserved.

By dumb do you mean brilliant?

I actually do think Artest has been "smart" in some aspects of life. He hasn't gotten into any trouble off the court and he has attempted to forge a "rap" career from his NBA success.

And he was smart to go to the Lakers since all he wanted was a title at this point in his career.

But as far as "brilliant" Zarley, I don't think that word should ever be used in the same sentence as Ron Artest. Whoops, I just did it.

Artest would probably score a 3 on the Wonderlic test.

Yes, this is Ron Artest we’re talking about, so you can’t exactly put too much stock into anything the guy says. In case you couldn’t listen, here’s what he said “Roy’s probably the best player I’ve played against. He’s the best shooting guard. Defense, not on defense now … but he’s the best player I’ve played against.” And when Sager mentioned Kobe and LeBron’s names, Artest didn’t waver. That’s some pretty strong praise. For anyone who’s been watching the series, it’s easy to see where that praise is coming from — Roy’s played quite well and has been pretty responsible for their wins in the series

remember one time, it was um…one of my friends, you know, he was playing basketball, they was winning the game, they were so competitive, they threw a, um, they broke the…a piece of leg from a table and they threw it and it went right through his heart and he died.
