If you ever wanted to attend a Lakers game and sit court side, you should have been in attendance Thursday morning during a contest. Los Angeles radio station Power 106 held a contest for court side tickets, but the winners where not aware that Ron Artest paid $18,000 out of his own pocket for two fans to sit court side at Game 1 of the NBA finals.
Artest was asked by TMZ why he did such a thing,“Most of my fans can’t afford the ticket prices to come to any of the games, let alone the Finals. I wanted to treat a fan to something they would normally never have access to, so they could feel like one of the stars for the night.”
Ron added, “I feel like just a regular person at the end of the day, and I wanted to be able to share my first Finals experience with one of my regular fans.”
