Ron Artest
Everyone knows about the “Malice at the Palace” and what an awful scene that was. Yet even without that troubling incident, Ron Artest had plenty that made him a terrible teammate. Meta World Peace has admitted to drinking Hennessy during halftime of games while playing with the Lakers, and sometimes doing drugs right before games.
Imagine coming in for the halftime talk from the coach; everyone is focused and ready to take the second half by storm and Ron’s in the corner sipping “Henny” out of a paper bag. Come on man.
Where Are They Now: As you’d imagine about someone with a “diverse” personality like the one belonging to Mr. World Peace, he’s been involved in a little bit of everything, it seems, in retirement. Most recently, he participated on the first U.S. edition of Celebrity Big Brother reality television program, and played under his former nom de guerre (Ron Artest) as part of the BIG3 basketball league co-owned by rapper Ice Cube.
