Can you say DEFENSE? Or BACK-2-BACK! Go Ron Artest......

LA Lakers have a great lineup for this coming season. Now Kobe Bryant has a childhood friend in Ron Artest to catch his back on the court. Ron told me that he and Kobe Bryant are like brothers and as kids played ball together along with Lamar Odom.

I have a new love for Ron Artest and I resepect the game he is going to bring to Los Angeles. This picture was taken the day he signed the deal to the Los Angeles Lakers. We gave him a Hollywood Paparazzi welcome and he loved it!
