Ron Artest May Have Just Cemented His Own Doom

Seconds ago, the Houston Rockets won the NBA championship won a playoff series for the first time in 187 years. In the post game interview, Craig Sager collared Ron Artest for a quick interview. With his final question, he referenced Artest's quote from yesterday that Brandon Roy was the best player he had ever guarded.

Sager: "Yesterday, you told me that Brandon Roy was the best player you've ever had to guard. You've got a guy named Kobe Bryant coming up next. Care to change that opinion?"

Artest: "No, Roy is the toughest guy I've guarded. He's the only guy to ever score 40 on me."

Care to place a bet on how many times Kobe drops 40 on the Rockets in the next series? If he wasn't entirely focused on dismantling the Rockets after Artest's comments yesterday, Bryant definitely is down in his basement now, sharpening the axe he will use to behead Artest in the next 2 weeks.
