SALT LAKE CITY - Maybe he'll never change.
Maybe Ron Artest will always have to swim in the surreal, to be at the center of controversy both real and contrived that somehow fuels him as a player and a person.
It's been that way since his Chicago days, when such occurrences were so common that local scribe Sam Smith once interviewed a sports psychologist to help make sense of it all. The conclusion: some people like Artest -- who were born and bred on the Queensbridge, N.Y., streets that are some of the roughest and meanest this country has -- must be surrounded by chaos to feel comfortable.
And as he showed in a breakout 20-point outing that helped the Lakers take a 3-0 lead over Utah Saturday night at EnergySolutions Arena, he's at his best when the wind swirls around him.
