Either Ron Artest has lost his mind or he’s a fuckin’ genius. For some reason, Ron Ron decided to set up his own photo shoot with model Natalin Avci while being interviewed by Sports Illustrated’s Arash Markazi. I have no idea where he’s going with these, but to assume any kind of creative direction here would be giving Ron too much credit. And that’s not my bitter Rockets fan bias speaking.

Actually, I don’t mind the photos…well, aside from the fact that they’re so terribly photoshopped that Artest’s hairline looks like it was drawn on with a Sharpie.

Pop the lid for more pics. Proceed with caution.
