In one of the weirder stories that I've come across in dealing with the NBA, Ron Artest recently was pulled over by police for speeding.
What was he speeding in? A Go-Kart!
We get more from TMZ:
Honestly, it's nice to see that Ron Artest is living out his dream of becoming Speed Racer.
TMZ obtained this photo of the Los Angeles Lakers playoff hero getting pulled over Monday in something called an Eagle Roadster -- a custom vehicle with a top speed of 152 MPH.
Law enforcement sources tell us Artest was cited because the registration on the car was expired. But get this -- we're told the car isn't even registered to Ron ... but somebody out in Tennessee.
Ron -- who was smiling throughout the entire incident -- was eventually sent on his way ... but sources tell us cops were "very happy" he was wearing a helmet.
