The real bad boys of sports!

2) Ron Artest

Ron Artest is one of the NBA’s most underachieving defenders, with only the one Defensive Player of the Year award in 2004, given his unquestionable talent.

Seemingly inspired by AC/DC’s Highway to Hell, his un-channeled aggression outside the court has severely hurt him and left his fans wondering what might have been.

Admitting to drinking during his stint with the Chicago Bulls early in his career was followed by getting suspended for three games in 2003 for destroying a television camera at Madison Square Garden, and four games for a confrontation with Miami Heat coach Pat Riley in the same year. That was followed by a suspension for two games in the 2004–05 season by Pacers coach Rick Carlisle for allegedly asking for a month off because he was tired from promoting an R & B album for the group Allure on his production label.

The final nail in the coffin was his involvement in the infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl in 2004. He jumped over a table and entered the stands where he began hitting a fan he believed to have thrown a drink at him during the game. He returned to the basketball court where he was confronted by Pistons fans, whom he fought with as well. He was subsequently slapped with a 73-game ban by the NBA. Ron Con Art’i’st seems to have resurrected from the dead, enjoying a title winning season with the Lakers in 2010.
