Ron Artest Thinks Brandon Roy is the Best Player He Has Played Against

Here we go again! Ron Artest talking out of his ass once again!

I will agree that Brandon Roy is one hell of a player that will be one of the top five players in the NBA in the near future, but to say that Roy is better than Kobe Bryant or LeBron James right now is just ridiculous.

The Houston Rockets will most likely advance to the second round against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Blazers played great last game, but with the series shifting back to Houston for an elimination game I think this series is over.

With that being said why would Artest say something like that?

"Brandon Roy is the best player I have ever played against."

If the Rockets win and advance to the second round they will face the Lakers so why would you say something like that before you go up against arguably the best player on the planet in Kobe Bryant who thrives on trash talk much like Michael Jordan did back in the day?

Yeah, it isn't directly talking trash to Kobe, but it is definitely challenging the Black Mamba to prove that he is the best player in the league right now and I get the feeling that he will be looking forward to making an example of Artest.

Not only is that incredibly stupid to give a player like Kobe something to prove, but you would have thought he would learned his lesson after Kobe burnt him in the regular season for 37 points while Artest was talking trash.

Anyways, get ready Lakers fans because no matter what match ups the Lakers end up with in the second round it will be entertaining! We are either going to see the Lakers try to overcome their problems at the Rose Garden in a heated seven game series or we will see Kobe put on a scoring display and shut up Artest for good, if that is possible.
