Artest calls Tiger 'perfect role model'
Lakers forward Ron Artest gave Tiger Woods his support Tuesday,
explaining in a blog post that he has made similar mistakes as the
superstar golfer.
In a post Tuesday, Artest said, "I can tell you're a standup
guy" while acknowledging his own infidelities. He wrote about
having a baby with another woman after having two with his
girlfriend, now his wife. Artest also called Woods "the perfect
role model for me and my sons for longer than anyone I have known."
Speaking before the Lakers' game against the Bulls on Tuesday
night, Artest said Woods was there at a time when "I wasn't a role
model for my sons."
Woods' image has been in a free fall since he crashed his car
into a tree Nov. 27, setting off a public airing of his
infidelities and marital problems.
Artest made headlines when he told a magazine he would get
drunk during games while with Chicago and that he bought alcohol at
a liquor store down the street from the United Center and slipped
it into his locker.
