The Clarion Content knows that this is not news. However, we did see new bemusing notice of Artest's flakiness this week. Artest ditched the Lakers' team visit to the White House this past Monday. Coach Phil Jackson told the LA Times that Artest had the 2 and 1/2 hour flu. Artest reportedly discussed with teammates before the event that he was worried he would feel like a third wheel. He is the only player on this season's Laker team not on last season's championship squad.
