Ron Artest gets ejected from Rockets Lakers Game 3 Nba Playoffs for "flagrant 2" foul on pau gasol

[littshepkid]

what dumbass recorded this

[limosince2007]

I reckon flagrant 1. Hard to see where they got a flagrant 2 call from

[dennisliuchun]

That was a technical, those refs...

[FLAHighFlyer]

I wish, I only Wish ROn ARTEST would have whooped Kobes ass

[kobeballinmamba]

this shit dont even matter cuz we got artest on da lakerz now.. anyone who thinx the lakers wont win da title again, send me a msg to my profile and i'll tell u y they will

[Jagiller000]

teknorave

now artest is on the lakers, ure fav team

is he still a loose cannon? lmao

[teknorave]

Good, I'm glad that loose cannon got ejected. Fucking piece of shit sore loser, just like you rocket fans.

LAKERS FTW

[LSXracer]

You hurt us soo bad! Great job, now try to really hurt me without cruseing.

[teknorave]

Haha not trying to hurt you little scrubs, but maybe you rocket fans shouldn't chant BEAT LA, more like FEAR LA!!

[shortodom]

now he's a Laker, now how do you feel about him....... lol

[teknorave]

I feel great, I feel a new wave of laker haters approaching. Doesnt matter though, lakers will win championship again. Shaq in Cleveland is over rated, Shaqs washed up and Lebrons a cry baby.

[amari2001]

lol even kobe admitted it wasnt a flagrant. Refs these days are terrible bring back 1960s-1990s basketball

[iKillMuffins]

kobe stole on artest in game 6

[drh818]

i dont know what the heck the reffs were thinking..laker fan..but i hope these reffs are not getting paid to call stupid stuff like that last reff that got fined for fixing lakers kings west finals..

[2pac21z]

are you fucki nretarded. its artest he aklways does stupid things like that.. why you think he gets suspended alotte of times in the playoffs.. and during games.. he is to violent he starts shit for noooooooooooo reasoon

[drh818]

but dude..if you see the video,he didnt even hit him that hard and it wasnt intentional..but hey its true artest is stupid..

[tmill1234]

Thats the worst call ever!! Pau Gasol plays basketball like a soccer player he is so soft. The refs are changing entire games because of their calls its not what basketball is about.

[KingOfKingz819]

its only bc its for the Lakers

[tmill1234]

know what im saying?!

[mawriz]

The NBA has become so freakin SOFT.

[bigtexansfan]

I agree, and they're trying to do the same to the NFL as well. They're turning the game into a total pussy sport. Most of the old school player in both the NBA and NFL look at the game today and say that it's become a sissy sport because of the officiating and bullshit rules.

[iliketv23]

NBA officials are the worst of any sport at any level on the planet. The are corrupt pieces of shit that always make the game all about them. They need to burn

[ponchonia]

excelent video. if you like it you shoul also search the next video "mejor dibujo 2009"

[n8tive1211]

i dont agree it shouldve been an ejection. I still hate artest will all my heart. The game was over and it was unnecessary. Dumb play by artest. Tough spot by the refs.

[KingOfKingz819]

wtf...it was a bad call...Artest got all ball...Gasols pussy ass is what sold it to the refs and bye bye artest like in game 2

[1865estr]

fucking artest

[angel128373]

Animal Artest, no sabe hacer otra cosa

[vtchung]

why do people always have to pick on black people?

[stealth082]

i think pau would win in a fight with artest.he would eventually overpower him, he's stronger.that is ,if artest don't land a solid punch first.

[fightforjustice123]

i love the lakers and gasol

and hate artest

but he definetly didnt deserve to get ejected for

[Bobbyonaire]

Refs are so prejudice in the playoffs, not like racist be prejuding the calls before they even happen. Artest is a physical player and that is probably why he is one of the dominant defensive players in the nba. The leauge has got to set a standard to calls or rules and keep them that way and also follow them. Can't have rondo grab brad miller across the neck and it just be a hard foul and then rafer alston slap a guy and get a foul and ejected for a game.

[blee3ee]

the refs in the NBA are paid off btw

[seagen13]

this is bull, rondo's foul on brad miller was worse

[TrueQB4Real]

Most of the contact came from Lowry if you look at it from behind

[butchot]

listen to me dumbasses, kobe's elbow did not land on the throat, on the chest! look at the replay from the camera beneath the rim. artest got ejected again??? damn that guy is trying to set a record for being dumb

[kaybee143]

oh i guess an elbow thrown on purpose is ok if it only hits his chest. Its still DIRTY, and he was aiming high, which is bad enough. This ejection was ridiculous...

[AdrianCarMar]

It was a really hard foul, if you look at artest face he want to knock gasol down!

[sm0kie420]

Laker fan again. See what did I say, downgraded to F1. Now we can have a good game 4, hopefully Yao is healthy to play, we'll have a good game =)

[19deadman76]

he was definetley frustrated,but cmon,thats not worthy of an ejection...we have to bring our a- game sunday,that was a horrible effort last night...that was our shitty game for the series,it wont happen again..

[Patricio87]

refs are up the lakers ass

[triplen3t]

prediction: ron artest will get kick out game 4 for padding Kobe on the back.

[Cadistasiosi]

FUCK ARTEST, fucking useless PIECE IF SHIT, fucking murderer, wtf???????

[sgtfiggs]

downgraded to foul 1

[trowabarton321]

that shouldn't a a flagrant foul period from what i see, just a personal foul

[sgtfiggs]

i agree but at the end of the day it doesnt really affect artest or this game. They had already lost this game

[trowabarton321]

yeah thats true but the refs need to get their calls right cause this playoffs is poorly officiated

[davance4]

HORRIBLE CALL

[heffyz]

stupied

[iKillMuffins]

they trying to cheat us my dude kobe shouldve got suspended in game 2 but i respect what he sad at the end and we was on comeback ron just started to get his jumpshot right 2

[leo037roa]

Utbigred, if you look at sore loser, asshole, dumbass, frustrated in a dictionary, not only your name would be in it, but also your face. Sorry for the sorry comeback, I'm just trying to be in your sorry ass level. hahaha. Its hard to be that low.

[GTDyno]

NBA is fixed

[ponder276]

This foul looks a lot worse because Battier and Lowry also get Gasol from behind, which is a huge part of what caused him to go flying. Artests' foul is a flagrant 1 at worst, although I do understand that in a physical series, right at the end of the game, it could be seen as "sending a message"

[omgitzomar]

i wish we had mutombo

[billay2642]

Ron Artest is the biggest joke in the NBA. I wont deny that he is an awesomely talented player but i will say that he has no repsect for the game. Being ejected twice in 2 games? Come on now he needs to calm down and play the game with some integrity.

[titans925]

he shouldnt have been ejected in either game

you are just wrong

[VikingInferno]

Have you even seen either game? Both he was ejected for practically nothing. Kobe should have been ejected in game 2, not Artest. This one was a regular hard foul and in no way should have even been a flagrant.

[tallsorta23]

Wow, how the fuck is that a flagrant 2? That's not even a flagrant 1. I swear man, Lakers get ALL THE CALLS. Imagine if LeBron or Wade had Kobe's supporting cast. Not only the players, but the refs, as well.

And let's not talk about Wade inthe 06 finals, that's over. He didn't get any calls against the Hawks.

[jjsworld]

Then your dumbass must not watch many Cavs games. Lebron travels nearly every possession and gets away with it and bulldozes his way to the rim and never gets called for a charge. He had more free throws than the entire Pistons team in the 1st round for the series!! Stop crying and b/itching.. All superstars get favorable treatment.

[Soccer792]

jjsworld... you are retarded. LeBron doesn't travel, he just has long strides. No charges? He gets them occasionally but guys don't get set when he beats em so its a block. Your dumbass must not know anything about basketball.

Billay. Artest is a joke? He has plenty of respect are you retarded? I'm not even a Rockets fan and I will say 100% he did not deserve a single ejection. He is playing with integrity, he barely argued the calls. Kobe needs to play with integrity. He playin like a thug.

[Soccer792]

I swear, anyone who thinks Artest even deserves a Flagrant 1 on this foul is retarded. If it wasn't a huge guy driving to the hole that doesn't look bad at all. Watch it again, he actually gets ball too so good try. Did he foul him? Yea he did, hard foul, not flagrant. As far as his first ejection, all he did was tell Kobe to stop hitting him. Why wasn't Kobe suspended? He threw an elbow at Artest's neck. That should have been at least a flagrant 2 if not a suspension as well. KOBE SUCKS!!!!!!!!

[404errorfilenotfound]

Actually, the league reviewed the game 2 tapes and they showed Kobe elbowing Artest's chest, not neck. They already gave Kobe a flagrant 1.

[idiotrun1997]

Don't suspend Ron Artest man, Kobe Bryant's interview also proves that Kobe doesn't want Ron suspended either. So that he can kick his butt

[mateo2o9]

im not a lakers fan, but i do want them to win this series.....but that was just a good hard foul.....bad call by the refs....it'll get reduced to a flagrant 1

[venadobo]

thats what happen when you know that your on the lead and dunking it to there face in less than a min. POW hard foul "respect" to the other team.

[mckamike]

wow it was more number 1's fault for pushing ron was just going for the ball

[SportsBriefUpdates]

It's not a terrible call because if he wanted to contest the shot he would of put his hands up not into his face and pushing him...

[gorkythe45]

Pau is a brave player and try to dunk but tree Rocket players make him fault two of them flagrant but pau never make theater as Artest did i 2nd Match

[sm0kie420]

Laker fan here. Ron should not have been ejected game 2, and this was NOT a flagrant 2. I expect this to be downgraded to flagrant 1 after review, and let artest play game 4 PLEASE! So the Rockets can lose fair and square =) Also feel bad about Yao's leg.

[miisskaren]

thanks for the simpathy i guess lol

[acnumber7]

Pure crap. Ron, 100% dumb.

[404errorfilenotfound]

This was a flagrant 1 at most. Even Kobe said it was just a good hard foul. Definitely not deserving of an ejection. But I think the refs called it based on Artest's reputation.

[whateveryouyouyou]

kind of dirty, 100%stupid

[whateveryouyouyou]

i wonder why did he do that what was he thinking? very stupid.

[utbigred]

Bleh, this comment posting crap is getting on nerves when it's not showing up properly. Anyways that recent post by me was a reference to leo037roa's comment.

[nejev]

Ron you are great player but very very very stupid and prick

[dkongs2]

How the hell does the NBA still have followers? I can't stand every game of the playoffs has at least 15 blown or missed calls. All NBA stars get calls (not just Kobe for those thinking I'm trying to hate) that they shouldn't it's a joke!

Calling this a Flagrant 2 and throwing him out is ridiculous and seriously turns me off to what could be a great series.

I'll be seriously disappointed if Artest gets a fine or suspension for this and Kobe doesn't for an obvious and premeditated elbow.

[Baldwin009]

the NBA is just so afraid he is going to do something crazy so they dont hesitate to eject him.

[StreetZOfEden]

bad call period, and this is coming from a laker fan, that was no damn flagrant 2, that's just bs

[looney069]

that was a stupid call made by the refs

i mean im a Laker fan but that aint no flagrant 2 mann .. it shouldnt even be a flagrand period .. it shoulda been 2freethrows thats it

[vatrenizg]

i think its a flagrant 1, because he made a basketball play for the ball, but used unnecessary excessive contact, same as kobe's elbow in boxing artest out in game 2. kobe boxed him out with a hard elbow, artest went in for a hard foul and put gasol on his back. i think this will be downgraded to a flagrant 1.

[leo037roa]

The Rockets are losing, so expect dirtiness from Scola and Artest. Lakers didnt get dirty on Game 1. Thats sportmanship. True Championship team.

[Baldwin009]

shut up u faggot, how about the lakers in portland when they were getting their asses kicked and ariza flagrant 2's rudy? Or when Odom tackled ray allen? Your a dumbass the lakers are as dirty as they come.

[utbigred]

If you look up ignorance in the dictionary, your name would be in it.

[Lose5]

how on earth is Scola dirty? his hardworking, might foul a bit to get the rebound and if they let it go, hey! they let it go...kobe's elbow wasn't exactly clean either but it was the fact that he was going for the ball and didn't intentionally cause contact in an attempt to stir up an incident, thats why he isn't dirty. If you think Scola is dirty, you're an idiot.

[s1lunc3r]

wait are you saying kobe isn't dirty??? you do remember his "follow thru" incident right??

[Lose5]

i do, but in the end if that's how you see it, every player in the league is dirty some way or another.

[s1lunc3r]

i totally agree with that.... they all do dirty things and there are dirty plays... some get called but most don't.

[Lose5]

exactly, in the heat of the game, you just want to get the ball, the thought of a dirty play doesnt even elipse your mind esp with the physicality of the play in the playoffs.

i mean sure, bruce bowen kicking chris paul or ray allen is a dirty play but you cant call Scola who might've been judged during a physical hustle, a dirty player.

[ciddlg53]

an to daballer ,what do you call what kobe did? are you serious??? listen to the commentators ,one of them was a coach an the other a player there both saying tha ish wasnt a foul atleast not a flagrant 2....i dont hate kobe or the lakers but theres some serious dick riding going on

[ciddlg53]

f'k the refs man ,im not saying ron artest doesnt have a passed but who doesnt , but come on itsb basketball i play like every other day very physical ....is there any other way?>? i mean there basing everything on his passed ,if u ask me there afraid of what he ...no no what they know he can do,,,,there man shut up an let them play

[datdamonfoo]

Bad call but didn't matter. Game was over, anyway.

[alexhanson911]

What you guys do not realize is that after the emotional and physical game 2 they were being way more strict in an effort to keep the game under control, and not get out of hand. Which is understandable

[mrhammerstein]

watch his left hand. The right hand is fine, but his left goes straight to his head. flagrant 1, not 2.

i figure that has to be what they saw.

[timmyVjr]

if anything, at the worst, flagrant 1. but, NOTHING worse than that. cmonnnnn

[daballr07]

u guys are retards for saying he's dirty, u dumbshits it was a straight up hard foul, stop hating on ron artest

[grayblaster]

Refs are being biased against Artest. The call was BS

[dba823]

ok i m a lakers fan but that was no flagrant....maybe flagrant 1 if you are super duper harsh.

[afrocentricsoul]

Refs have it out for Ron Artest & that's so messed up. He can't catch a break,,,

[hoydog33]

Ron Artest is a FUKIN DIRTBAG

[valin771]

terrible call... enough said

[tubertakol69]

such a dirty player

[bradybrade]

Man, I am a Lakers fan and that was a terrible call by the refs on Artest.

[TracyMacBarca]

terrible call. Adel said, that refs told him about the reason for giving flagrant 2. And the reason is..... Ta-Da! - Ron hits his head! Amazing! It's not even funny
