I don't think anyone else posted this.

"I used to drink Hennessy ... at halftime," Artest said in an interview with the Sporting News, which is publishing the story in its Dec. 7 issue. "I [kept it] in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store and get it."

Hennessy is a French cognac.

Artest said he drank when he played for the Chicago Bulls, where he played for his first three seasons (1999-2002). He has since played for Indiana, Sacramento, Houston and the Lakers.


Ron Artest's time with the Bulls just gets weirder and weirder. He wanted to get a part-time job at Best Buy and now this drinking at halftime. This guy is just odd.

Who wasn't drinking during thos bulls games? Those have to challenge for some of the worst teams in nba history but ron ron is crazy to admit it. No wonder they wanted to trade him so bad when he had some value.

I'm certain this happens alot more than everyone thinks.

Ron was completely batshit crazy back then & had serious manic depression issues. I'm sure the drinking only made it worse. He seems to have matured a bit since that time, especially since the brawl, but he's still got more than a few screws loose up there.

My favorite story of him being here was when he ripped the workout bench at the Berto center off the floor when it was bolted down. God knows I don't want to meet him in a dark alley.

I just wonder what happened to Jerry Krause on this pick.

He was always big on the character guys. In the same draft he picked Elton Brand who's a great guy. Did he not pick up on any of Ron's craziness in pre-draft interviews? How could you not?

I can say from experience that Ron Artest, in person, is very quiet & reserved. He used to frequent the Barnes & Noble I used to work at & I helped him out a few times. You wouldn't know that this was THAT RON ARTEST when you met him, so I could see how his craziness could've been hidden.
