"I used to drink Hennessy… at halftime," Artest said in an interview with the Sporting News, which is publishing the story in its Dec. 7 issue. "I [kept it] in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store and get it." Artest told the Sporting News that he has tamed his admittedly wild lifestyle, but still likes to "party and I have fun."
That statement explains so much about Ron Artest. I used to think he was just crazy but apparently his antics were also fueled by Hennessy. I can imagine drinking a cold beer at half, maybe even a vodka tonic, but Hennessy? Fuck me, this guy is harder than I thought. Mr. Artest continues…
"When I was a 19-year-old father, whew. I was a single pimp! I was wild," he told the magazine. "A lot of marijuana and alcohol — even before [that age]… I [still] party and I have fun, but not like I used to. I used to drink every night and party every night."
Party on Ron!
