I`m seeing this question alot since Artest demanded his trade, and I wanted to see what other people thought. Who would you rather have in your locker room, Ron Artest or TO?
Ummm .. tough one. I'd go with Owens. TO maybe a bigger headcase in the lockerroom, but he backs it up on the field, and most of his problems are off the field issues, not on it. Also, Owens is a better football player and Artest is as a basketball player. Ron is not a cancer in the lockerroom as many people make him out to be. Yes he had issues to Jermaine, but he is not the type of headcase who is hated by his peers and teammates, unlike TO. However, Artest can cost you a game or even a championship as he did to the Pacers two years in a row. I'd go with TO. Very close one though.
TO cause TO may be selfish but he's not liable to lose it and get psycho. He has a sense of humor. You gotta go with someone who has a sense of humor.

He was one of the biggest reasons the Eagles had a season of hell. Between TO and injuries this season was doomed to begin with. I think I'd go with Owens though anyway. He at least is the most dominant player in his respective positioin on the field. I have a hard time saying Ownes being a Philly fan however.
I will take Ron Artest over Terrell Owens any day of the week. Although, Artest is equally as much a menes as Terrell Owens. Artest does not go on a public campain to get himself more money, and then take shots at his team any time he can. Artest requested a trade, and was pretty much quite until he got one. Meanwhile, it seemed like Owens was on the news doing a new interview everyday of the week until we finally suspended him.
id take TO. he has his on field problems and locker room issues, but so does ron artest. at least TO doesnt get into much legal trouble and ask for a month off to make a rap CD.
