When it come to high-profile professional athletes, Ron Artest is one of a kind. He's setting the bar in the way stars reach out to interact with their fans, and it's very refreshing.
In this FanHouse video, we were on hand as Ron-Ron was dishing out milkshakes to fans, who absolutely enjoyed every moment around the Lakers star.

One of the things that makes the
Lakers one of the league's best teams is the size and skill of their two biggest frontcourt players,
Pau Gasol and
Andrew Bynum. But Gasol has yet to play a game for the team in this young season, and now it looks like Bynum will miss some time as well with an elbow injury.
Both players are listed as doubtful for Friday night's game against Memphis, and if neither ends up being able to go, the Lakers will be forced to use some rather interesting lineups.

There weren't too many fireworks between
Ron Artest and his former teammates during the
Lakers' overtime victory in Houston on Wednesday, other than a double technical called on him and
Trevor Ariza in the first quarter.
But judging by what Artest had to say afterwards, there certainly could have been.
Artest
claimed that the
Rockets were being extra-physical with him in hopes of getting him ejected. And after taking a shot from Ariza early, Artest admitted that
thoughts of getting violent out there definitely crossed his mind.

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the lig. Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.
The last time we got together, three different players scored 40 points or more on the same night. Well, maybe it's not as rare of an occurrence as we thought, since we were just a single point away from it happening again on Wednesday.
Chris Paul missed by one with 39, but
Kobe Bryant and
Dwyane Wade each delivered, with 41 and 40 respectively.

There are 10 games on the schedule this evening, but perhaps none holds more intrigue than
Ron Artest making his return to Houston, to face the Rockets as a member of the
Los Angeles Lakers.
But Artest isn't the only one with something to prove, as L.A. will be seeing
Trevor Ariza for the first time since his agent played hardball with L.A.'s ownership group over the summer.
It's a little early to tell which team has come out ahead in this virtual trade, but looking at tonight's matchup, the Rockets would appear to be the ones with the advantage.

Looking back at the first week of the 2009-10
NBA season, someone missed a golden opportunity for a Halloween costume.
Wouldn't it have been great if two
Lakers fans had gone as
Shannon Brown and
Josh Powell with the fan who was Brown holding onto a rim (a Nerf rim would have been fine) and sitting on Powell's shoulders?
"Whatever do you mean, Professor Stinkface?"
You know what I mean. Video after the jump.

We're just a week into the season, so don't get mad if your team isn't where you might have expected. It's just that if we go by what we've actually seen, as opposed to what's been predicted, then this is for the most part where teams should fall based on their early performances. But if you're offended by the spot your favorite team holds, fear not: they likely have 79 regular season games remaining to right the ship.

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the lig. Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.It's not every day that we get to see a player hit for 40 points or more in an NBA game. So on Sunday, when we had three different players meet or surpass the mark, it's definitely something worth discussing.
Especially when two of them did it in the same game.
