Controversy has never been something that Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest runs from, even with his new-found world champion status. He led chants of “Boston Sucks” during the Lakers victory parade and was falsely accused of being a part of a “Fcuk LeBron” party in New York.

He performed over the weekend at the Crazy Horse in West Covina, including his fan-favorite “Champions” song. Given the location, he was obviously in front of a friendly crowd. Well, friendly to everyone but the new-look Miami Heat. For the final minute or so of his set, the crowd started a “F*ck The Heat!” chant, which Ron appeared to thoroughly enjoy.

Lakers fans have always felt threatened by disliked LeBron because of his MVP awards and all the Kobe vs. LeBron talks, so it’s not much of a surprise that they’ll hate the Heat, especially if Miami ends up being a major contender or possibly eliminating Los Angeles. It will definitely make for an interesting rivalry, especially with stuff like this video.
