Has any NBA player ever thanked his shrink on national TV?

That had to be the highlight of last night. Artest is one certifiably insane basketball player. He did come up huge in Game 7 though. My compliments to his doctor.

I almost forget what he did in Detroit. He's just funny crazy now. Not so much scary crazy.

Behind, of course, "fun, fun, fun.". I mean, the guy thanked his hood, his wife, his shrink (about ten times), then interrupted Doris Burke to talk about his new single coming out.

Fantastic interview, and he deserved it.

Artest is almost childlike in the way he craves acceptance and approval from his teammates and the public. He is like a kid trying hard to please his parents with the way he acts toward Kobe and Phil. That is one of the most honest displays of happiness you'll see in a press conference.
