The Los Angeles Lakers signed free agent forward Ron Artest today, who will take in less money than he could have gotten somewhere else. This puts the Lakers in a good position to reach the NBA Finals for a third straight year. His new jersey number, chosen by a fan, honors the record number of weeks Michael Jackson’s Thriller was #1 on the charts (37).
