We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

In an interview with the Sporting News, Ron Artest admits to drinking alcohol at halftime of games during his time with the Chicago Bulls.

"I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime," Artest says in the interview. "I (kept it) in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it."

Five years later, Artest still is interested in fighting Ben Wallace.

"I see Ben, I'm on my guard now. I'm always in the mood to fight him. … I'll get suspended 10 games, 15 games (because) I'll just fight him right there. It won't go into the stands."

Artest also plans on becoming a professional boxer when his NBA career is over.

"I started training two years ago," he says. "In four years, I'm going to try to have my first fight."

Artest sure has opened up a lot in the last year or so. Always saying something.

I'm surprised he said that about Wallace, though. I remember awhile back he made peace and shared laughs with the guy he fought in the stands, so I don't know why he'd make comments about Big Ben to the media like that. But hey, it's Ron Artest - zany guy. LIke a Rodman Jr. - and I liked Rodman! ;)

Yeah I read this earlier today and I just think hes a nutcase. The guy has issues. I'm just glad a cancer like that is over with LA on the west coast. Hopefully he causes more problems for the Lakers so we have less to worry about on our route back to the Finals. 8-)

Big Ben responds:

Ben Wallace was asked about comments made by Ron Artest this week referencing his drinking and his desire to still fight him.

"He said he wants to fight me?" Wallace asked reporters before the Pistons-Bulls game.

"Yeah," a reporter responded.

"Well, [you] need to test him and see if he's still drinking," Wallace said.
