Artest offers Tiger encouragement
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.
