With only a handful of games remaining in the NBA Playoffs people are finally starting to come to grips with the prospect that the NBA will realistically join the NFL in having a talent lockout this offseason.
Players are starting to chirp about the prospect of a lockout and what the possible ramifications of such a labor move would be. Most of these guys don’t have a whole lot of other skills. I really don’t think Delonte West can substitute teach if there’s no season next year.
But don’t worry about Ron Artest. The fastly faltering forward and failed rap mogul has a backup plan for next season – comedy.
Artest is going to put on four dates of the “Ron Artest Ultimate Comedy Tour” at the Improv in L.A. this summer and said he could see it being a full-time career if the players are locked out next season.
You know, I bet he’d actually have some pretty funny bits about his therapy sessions but the real joke is on the Lakers who have no way of getting out of his contract.
If Ron does try his hand at comedy though, he needs someone to pattern himself after. Might I suggest the real gangsta of comedy, Gilbert Gottfried.
