Artest ejected
I'm not sure how else to describe this, but Ron Artest just lost it. Sadly, after impressing everyone with his smart, controlled play the first game and a half of this series, he went all Ron Artest again.
Kicked out for taunting Kobe Bryant, getting so livid the two had to be seperated, and then making a slit throat gesture to Bryant, right in front of the official.
Most normal people don't take lightly to getting elbowed in the throat.
I think many people have misconceived Artest's elbow in the throat gesture as being a 'slit throat' gesture.
For how temperamental and out of control we have seen Artest get in the past, I must say he is really attempting to control himself better.
