"I wish I was 280," he said Tuesday.
Faced with a phalanx of reporters in the Pacers' locker room before the game,
Artest answered questions patiently and seemed resigned to facing similar
treatment as he goes around the league.
"It's cool," he said. "Things happen in life and you move on. That's the way
you have to go about it. It'll be fun playing. Playing with your teammates,
playing against the other All-Stars, that's going to be fun. I'm ready to go."
Artest was greeted by a smattering of boos from the small crowd at
Continental Airlines Arena, and his first points, on an 18-foot jumper a few
minutes into the game brought the same response.
