Would you like Lakers forward Ron Artest to be Santa Claus at your next Christmas party or to attend your child's bar mitzvah? May as well give it a shot at the doing-business-with-Ron link (as noted by ESPN Los Angeles' Brian Kamenetzky).
"Business with Ron" is pretty vague; the possibilities seem endless. Maybe he can be a fill-in on your bowling team, provide security at your overcrowded house party or be a clown at your 5-year-old's birthday party. Which event would you want Artest to attend? Feel free to share in the comments section below.
