Man, I thought this guy was a true New Yorker. Turns out he's one of those like one of those low lifes you grew up with that rooted against the hometown team on purpose. Hated those guys! He's trying to back off by saying he always wanted the Knicks to win a championship- but how was that possible while he and his friends were rooting for the freaking Bulls and Pacers?

He also said that the Bulls and Pacers -- more than the Knicks -- were his boyhood dream teams. "Growing up in New York, I always wanted the Knicks to win a championship, but my favorite team was the Bulls," Artest said. "And my best friend Sedric's favorite team was the Pacers. So my career has been a blessing, to play for the two teams that I dreamed about as a kid. [And] the trade to Sacramento was another blessing from God because playing for Rick Adelman elevated my status." ESPN.com

No way we give up David Lee for this guy!
