I know a lot of you guys aren't basketball fans, but Ron Artest is by far my favorite train wreck in sports...and All Star calibur trainwreck at that. Below are some of my favorite nuggets of joy from his recent interview.

I used to drink Hennessy ... at halftime," Artest says in the interview, which hits newsstands this week. "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 was a member of the Pacers when he was involved in a fight in Detroit that spilled over into the stands. He was suspended for the rest of the 2004-05 season, which turned out to be 73 games. Artest told the Sporting News that the brawl "wasn't my fault. ... I don't see anything I could have done different."
"When I was a 19-year-old father, whew. I was a single pimp! I was wild," he told the magazine. "A lot of marijuana and alcohol -- even before [that age]. ... I [still] party and I have fun, but not like I used to. I used to drink every night and party every night."
