Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the NBA Gauntlet site to participate in this post's poll. Ron vs. Caron They are both 28 years old and injury-prone, spent two years in college, have been traded a couple of times, and are members of high-powered trios. Ron Artest joins Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming this season, while Caron Butler continues to play with Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison. They each also rank among the league-leaders in steals, although Artest is more heralded for his defense. They each have a somewhat menacing appearance, with Artest sporting large muscles and words shaved in his head, and Butler showing off some ink of a skull on his arm. These two players have much in common, but their names are not among the similarities. Ron is short for Ronald, from Queensbridge, NY. He says he grew up on the streets and always follows that code of honor. No one, including fans, may disrespect him or his friends. Caron is Mr. Butler’s middle name. ... (link)
