This cracks me up:
"Artest has been a subject of frequent controversy. In a December 2009 Sporting News interview, Artest admitted that he had led a "wild" lifestyle as a young player, and that he drank Hennessy cognac in the locker room at halftime when he was playing for the Chicago Bulls at the beginning of his NBA career.[43] During his rookie season in Chicago, he was criticized for applying for a job at Circuit City in order to get an employee discount.[44][45] He once attended a practice with the Indiana Pacers in a bath robe.[46] He was suspended for two games in the early 2004–05 season by Pacers coach Rick Carlisle after he allegedly asked for a month off because he was tired from promoting an R&B album for the group Allure on his production label.[44] Artest had also been suspended for three games in 2003 for destroying a television camera at Madison Square Garden, and for four games for a confrontation with Miami Heat coach Pat Riley in 2003.[44] He has also been suspended several times for flagrant fouls.[44] Artest was also involved in the infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl in 2004."
