A Poll That Matters: Who Would Win In A Fight, Pacman Jones or Ron Artest?? - The Orange Mane

RhymesayersDU · 03-31-2007, 07:57 PM

How do you like YOUR bad boy? Making it rain like Pacman, or just plain crazy like Ron?

Think of this as the ultimate death match, where YOU get to decide who wins!

Tales Of The Tape:
Adam "Pacman" Jones:
-As of March 2007, Jones has been arrested ten times since he was drafted by the Titans in 2005.
-On July 13, 2005 Jones was arrested on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation.
-On September 5, 2005 Jones was a guest at the annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. After a loud verbal tantrum when he was told to wait in line for his vehicle later that evening, Jones was counseled by the police.
-In October 2005, in a petition filed by the State of West Virginia, it was alleged that Jones had not made regular and sufficient contact with his probation officer and that he did not report his July arrest in Nashville in a timely fashion. The court ordered the probation extended for a period of 90 days, although the state requested it to be extended one year.
-On August 25, 2006, Jones was arrested in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after claiming that a woman stole his wallet. She claimed that she did not steal anything and Jones spat on her. Police officers said they ordered Jones to leave several times, but he refused, continuing to shout profanities at the woman. A judge granted him six months probation on the conditions that he stays out of further trouble and away from the nightclub.
-On October 26, 2006, Jones was cited for misdemeanor assault for allegedly spitting in the face of a female student from Tennessee State University during a private party at Club Mystic, a Nashville nightclub. He was suspended by the Titans for one game and was scheduled to be booked on the charge on November 17, 2006.
-During the 2007 NBA All-Star Game weekend in Las Vegas (Feb. 16-18, 2007), Jones is alleged to have been involved in an altercation with an exotic dancer at a local strip club. According to the club's co-owner, Jones approached the stage with a garbage bag filled with approximately $81,000 in one-dollar bills. Jones proceeded to throw the money into the air over the exotic dancers for a dramatic effect, an act known as "making it rain" or performing a "rain dance". Becoming enraged when one of the dancers began taking the money without his permission, Jones grabbed her by her hair and slammed her head on the stage. A security guard intervened and scuffled with members of Jones' entourage of half a dozen people, during which time Jones allegedly bit the guard on the lower leg. Jones then allegedly threatened the guard's life. After the patrons of the club exited, the club owner says a person in Jones' entourage returned with a gun and fired into a crowd, hitting three people, including the security guard involved in the earlier skirmish. Although the guard was shot twice, one of the people hit, former professional wrestler Tommy Urbanski, was paralyzed from the waist down.[5] Jones maintains that he did not know the shooter, although the club's owner insists that Jones did. On March 26, 2007 the Las Vegas Police recommended to the city's district attorney that Jones be charged with one count of felony coercion and also a misdemeanor count of battery and a misdemeanor count of threat to life.
-Adam Jones also is set to appear in a Fayetteville, Georgia court in 2007 for his February 2006 incident on subpoenas for felony and misdemeanor obstruction of justice charges for an incident outside a home.

Ron Artest
-During his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls, he was subject to criticism for applying for a job at Circuit City, just to get an employee discount.
-He once attended an Indiana Pacers practice in a bath robe.
-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. -Artest had also been suspended for three games in 2003 for destroying a television camera in Madison Square Garden, New York City, and
-Suspended for four games for a confrontation with Miami Heat coach Pat Riley in 2003.
-For the 2004-05 season he wore the number 91; a tribute to former multiple Defensive Player of the Year award winner Dennis Rodman, another controversial basketball player from the late 1980s and early 90s.
-The Pacers-Pistons Brawl. Enough said.
-On November 16, 2006, website The Smoking Gun obtained testimony from Matt Dobek, VP of Public Relations for the Detroit Pistons claiming what helped trigger the brawl was Artest saying to Ben Wallace "you can suck my balls".
-He was suspended for Game 2 of the team's first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs following a flagrant foul (elbow to the head) on Manu Ginobili. The Kings eventually were eliminated from the playoffs in six games.
-After the playoffs, Artest offered to donate his entire salary to keep teammate Bonzi Wells with the team, who became a free agent after the 2005-06 NBA season. He even jokingly threatened to kill Wells if he did not re-sign with the Kings.
-According to a Placer County report obtained by the Sacramento Bee, on January 30, 2007, Animal Services officers issued a "pre-seizure" notice to Artest regarding suspicions that a dog at his home in Loomis was not receiving adequate food. On February 5, officers returned and seized Socks, a black female Great Dane, removing her into protective custody with a local veterinarian.
-On March 5, 2007, Ron Artest was arrested for domestic abuse, and was excused from the Sacramento Kings by GM Geoff Petrie until he's ready to come back. On March 10th, The Kings announced that Artest would return to his team while his case is being reviewed by the Placer County District Attorney.
-Quoted as saying, in regards to medication for his behavior Artest said, "I've never taken medication (to control moods) in my life. Doctors have suggested it and I say, 'OK, give it to me.' But then I go home and I throw it in the garbage."

My hope would be that they'd off each other.

Man-Goblin · 03-31-2007, 07:59 PM

Artest. He's got the reach, baby.

Yeah but Pacman is strapped for sure.

TexanBob · 03-31-2007, 08:04 PM

Artest. You gotta go with the reach.

Pac-Man, though, if he's armed.

Well, if you listen to Pacman's attorney's, publicists and apologists, he's just a misunderstood young man who's made some bad choices and surrounded himself with the wrong kind of people. If anyone buys into that bubbling crock of ****, I guess you'd have to go with Artest because Pacman isn't anywhere near as "gangsta" as the evil media (who so dastardly report on his repeated brushes with the law) portrays him to be.

Regardless, on top of the fact that he's a lowlife, Ron Artest is legitimately crazy. I'll take him to win the fight, but I say he gets fatally wounded in the process when one of Pacman's poorly chosen posse members jumps in to try and save his meal ticket....umm....I mean friend, Pacman from the savage beating he's taking.

As for Pacman, I agree, he's no victim here. Although, to some extent I do understand growing up a certain way and hanging with a certain crowd. I mean, our own Carmelo has had his stupid decisions. Now granted, they weren't on the level of Pacman's, but nonetheless, I think there is some merit to it. However, Pacman has been arrested like 10 times. At some point, you can't keep making excuses.

And for sure, Artest is crazy for real.

Kaylore · 03-31-2007, 08:16 PM

My money is on Artest. He's the larger man.

Los Broncos · 03-31-2007, 08:21 PM

Artest would crush the pac.

SureShot · 03-31-2007, 08:23 PM

Pacman would only win if Artest was 100lb woman picking up his "rain" money.

watermock · 03-31-2007, 09:27 PM
