Ron Artest is signing with the Los Angeles Lakers for $18 million over three years giving LA a tough, tough squad (assuming they sign Lamar Odom). Artest stopped by the Los Angeles ESPN studios to “Hoodilize” the network and talk about signing with the Lakers.

Ron Artest signs with the Lakers the day before Manny Ramirez returns to the Dodgers. The 4th of July weekend is going to be crazy in Los Angeles.

CBS 2’s Jim Hill hung out in a garage to wait for Ron Artest to finish with ESPN. Artest talks to Jim about playing with the Black Mamba, shouts out Trevor Ariza, and is still rockin’ the So Gutter hat.
