Ron Artest has declared Psychological War on BEdgers

It's through the looking glass time now people, it's the conspiracy of all conspiracies.  It's the 9/11 truthers wrapped inside the Obama Birthers and smothered in the sauce of the Illuminati Sex Factory located on the Dark Side of the Moon.  And that amounts to one delicious enchilada of conspiracy.

I can't name names or Ben and Dave will both spank me simultaneously, but several of your beloved BEdgers postings are in fact coming from the fingers of one demented typist.  And I have a sneaky suspicion that it is Ron Artest...

Star-divide

It all started at the end of the 08-09 season when the Portland Trailblazers and the Houston Rockets were engaged in a grueling first-round playoffs series.  While Houston was clearly on the path to victory, during an interview Ron Artest claimed the Brandon Roy was the hardest man to guard in the league.  That he was "better than K*be Bryant."  Many shrugged these statements off as the ravings of a madman but it turns out he was really scared.  He knew Roy had to be stopped because Brandon had learned the secret of basketball that night.

I began doing some research into a secret organization the pre dates the modern game of basketball to the days of peach pit baskets and milky white men in bizarre coverall style swimsuits.  And what I found disturbed and rocked me down the the very essence of my core.  To the peach pit holed baskets of my very soul.

It turns out that what the makers of "put the ball in the peach pit basket" discovered is that only one person could in fact "be on the ball" at one time.  Meaning only one person could be in possession of the ball at any given moment. And while that may seem like a small thing at first, it turns out to be the entire game of Put the Ball in the Peach Pit Basket. Possession of the ball was the SECRET.

After that game Ron Artest devised a plan to defeat Brandon Roy before he develop even more and became the greatest basketball player that the megaverse had ever known.  Surpassing Jordan.  Surpassing Gandhi.  Surpassing Genghis Khan.  Dunking all of life's problems out of existence or destroying the planet with one massive megaposter.  The world would be his to command.  He had to be stopped.  

His plan was simple.  First he had to get traded to the Lakers,  That way he could join up with the only other player in the megaverse even on the same, if somewhat more limited and human-like, level. K*be Bryant.  With him he might have even the slightest glimmer of a splinter of hope to defeat him.

But they had to play dirty and cheap and unsportsmeneque to defeat Brandon Roy, so only after they had attacked Brandon in other ways could they significantly weaken his game, and have a chance.  So he paid Andre Miller to join the Blazers and plot to take the ball out of Roy's hands.  Steve Blake, of course, was also an agent but that doesn't need to be explained to BEdgers.  They saw the free-throws.

Also I don't have any documents or proof explaining this next statement, which makes it all the more credible.  But if I had secret documents they might show that Ron Artest has infilitrated Blazersedge and began posting Fanposts which either strongly support Andre Miller or Steve Blake or strongly attack Andre Miller or Steve Blake.  Just like Coke and Pepsi did back in the day to make you think there weren't any other options.  But there totally were.  I used to buy flavored soda pop at the gas station when I was kid.  You'd take your bottle back and then buy some more soda.  It was recycling before recycling was cool.  Don't get me started.  Regardless...

THIS IS JUST A SICK GAME.  Andre Miller and Steve Blake are both Ron Artest's secret agents and they are both plotting to keep the ball out of Brandon Roy's hands.  Don't fall for the Ron Artest/K*be Bryant propaganda.  And while Bayless might seem like the only answer I think we should put in Juwan Howard at the point.  For one there is no way that Juwan will have the ball in his hands for very long.  

And because the poor guy used to be a unicorn.  I hear they bring good luck.

Steve Blake, of course, was also an agent but that doesn’t need to be explained to BEdgers. They saw the free-throws.

Why doesn't the poll have an "all of the above" option?

Except, I don’t have to urinate, I already did it in the cornflakes of all the Andre fans. Or was it the Blake fans. I forget.

Is it possible to connect Trevor Ariza to this?

Wasn’t he hoping to smash Roy, but had to settle for Rudy?

I heard Juwan tried dunking from the free throw line and hit his head on the rim. He should start.

Artest only operates at the behest of Stern

The man not the magazine. Its a semi well known fact that they collaborated to ghost write Foucault’s Pendulum. Disrupting Blazer harmony is just the tip of the iceberg.

The truth is out there

It’s no secret that a Salvadoran Templar sleeper cell was behind the mind control experiments during Bayless’s summer league. Just freeze frame Artest’s famous fan punch and then say “Computer, enhance.”

The not so cool thing is Ron Artest didn't say Roy was better than Kobe.

I stopped reading this after the third reference ...

… to peach pit basket.

Exactly what is that?

You harvest peaches and put them into baskets (our you used to – I believe they now use bins). Hence the name peach basket.

No one harvests peach pits. They get thrown in the trash once you have eaten the peach.

A peach pit-holed basket would be any type of basket that one used peach pits to punch holes through (presumably with some form on pneumatic gun).

Now, a post about shooting holes in baskets with an air cannon would be cool.

Obviously you don't understand basketball.

The peach pits are part of the conspiracy.

Ahhhhh...but can one harvest the peach...

without also harvesting the pit?

U should

read a Naismith biography homeboy

The first game of “Basket Ball” was played in December 1891. In a handwritten report, Naismith described the circumstances of the inaugural match; in contrast to modern basketball, the players played nine versus nine, handled a soccer ball, not a basketball, and instead of shooting at two hoops, the goals were a pair of peach baskets: “When Mr. Stubbins brot [sic] up the peach baskets to the gym I secured them on the inside of the railing of the gallery. This was about 10 feet from the floor, one at each end of the gymnasium. I then put the 13 rules on the bulletin board just behind the instructor’s platform, secured a soccer ball and awaited the arrival of the class… The class did not show much enthusiasm but followed my lead… I then explained what they had to do to make goals, tossed the ball up between the two center men & tried to keep them somewhat near the rules. Most of the fouls were called for running with the ball, though tackling the man with the ball was not uncommon.”7 In contrast to modern basketball, the original rules did not include what is known today as the dribble. Since the ball could only be moved up the court via a pass early players tossed the ball over their heads as they ran up court. Also, following each “goal” a jump ball was taken in the middle of the court. Both practices are obsolete in the rules of modern basketball.

I should totally do that!

But instead I think I’ll carry on with my life by not doing that…

That sounds like a more enjoyable version of the game.

I particularly like the tackling aspect.

I’d consider talking up golf if they made it a contact sport.

The scary thing

is that I read some of the things people write, and I think they are losing.

Losing to Ron Artest at psychological warfare.

Is that possible?

This post is fantastic

Reminds me a lot of the Barkley: Shut up and Jam (Gaiden) game that got made. Barkley performs a chaos dunk, nuking most of Manhattan, and your job is to unravel the secrets behind it.

I can only hint at the real truth, but there is one among us who can give us the rest of the story.

I hate to tell you this folks, but Ron Ron is not the Kingpin here. The real culprits are farther up on the food chain. He is just acting in the best way he knows how in order to protect himself, his family, and his friends. This nightmare began for him back when he was coerced to go into the stands to defend himself from some of the NBA’s "security people." (he was never the least bit crazy) The Indiana franchise was beginning to look like a future powerhouse and something had to be done.

I have said all I can say because I am also being watched, and I have to protect my loved ones as well. But there is one who is powerful enough and who knows more about this situation than what I can say. His true identity must be kept secret of course, but he goes by the screen name of jscot. And HE is the future ruler of the world!

All my doors are locked and my curtains are closed. I am huddled in the corner with my computer hoping that Ron Ron will think I am not here. I know that this is no way to, "live," but I had to take the risk for the Blazers. At least I know this isn’t personal!

Well hiding out is all well and good, but,

I suggest a little something like this, just for some extra security:

I have a last request.

Please tell David to tell Ron Ron to make it quick. No torture is necessary since I have not said anything to anyone else about this matter. (only hinted)

PS: To all that it may concern, I am not at home. I can assure you that I have left the country.
