We live in such a wacky world that it really takes something on the outer fringe to move the brain of NBAObsessed and this is such a thing. How in the world can this goofball pretend to know what Tiger Woods is going through?

Maybe even a better question to ask in these strange circumstances deals with whether Tiger Woods would desire to have Ron Artest as his ally? This is the man that ran up into the stands and beat up a fan in the malice in the palace against the Detroit Pistons. This is the same man that then refused any psychological counseling after that affair even though the NBA recommended it. This is a man that is known as a disruptive force.

Classic members of the malice at the Palace - Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson

Ron Artest as always lived by Nike’s motto to ‘Just do it!’Tiger has to be cringing at the thought of Ron Artest feeling he can empathize with him. What is next, Charles Barkley?

Artest, of course, has become famous for his questionable decisions, both on and off the court. He was suspended during the 2004-05 season for attacking a Pistons fan, and just recently told The Sporting News magazine that he sipped Hennessey during games while with the Bulls.

Hey, don’t get me wrong, as Vegas now takes bets on which major sponsor will next drop Tiger Woods and his wife the Swedish model takes up advertising for Puma, Tiger Woods will not be cast as the good guy, but then Ron Artest is often cast as a crazed individual with some deep seated issues. Whether valid criticism or not, Tiger may be wishing it was Charles Barkley.

Puma? They still make puma shoes?
