Ron Artest: From Goat To Hero With Putback of Kobe's Miss - Game 5 NBA Playoffs

Ron Artest took a terrible shot when the Lakers were up by 3 and could've taken 16 seconds off the clock. Instead, he puts back Kobe's miss at the buzzer to savoid overtime.

Richardson should know how to get airballs, he did it before in one of the vids bballbreakdown posted

@KillenEMsoftly OMG! I was just saying that to somebody. At least with Kobe, it wasn't for the game. But it certainly was a pattern for J Rich - maybe I'll do a highlight of all his missed assignments, culminating in that one...

Stay tuned - all week we'll have previews of the Finals.

@Primetime658 agreed. Nash had his best shot in 2006 and 10.

HE told artest to shoot that shot that slimy bastard

@JayIsHood1 Don't quote me on it. but maybe they didn't cally travel on Artest because he dind't have possession (full control) of the ball when he caught it.

[JayIsHood1]

No one else notice that Ron Artest travelled after he caught that ball? He took some extra stepz lol good game though..

[Primetime658]

i am a huge suns fan but they always fall short from a championship i live in la n respect the lakera but with kobe alive suns arent winning haha also steve nash really needs a ring to finish his career =/

The sad thing is, Kobe has jacked up and bricked many low-percentage shots early in the shot clock and gotten way less heat than Artest. Remember that 3-OT game against the Suns this year where he made that runner even though the shot clock was off and his team was up? Such a dangerous play.

kobe misses his last 6 game winner shot in the post season
