Jimmy Kimmel Pranks Ron Artest

First Posted: 06/10/11 01:07 PM ET Updated: 08/10/11 06:12 AM ET

Jimmy Kimmel is "a horrible man," according to Ron Artest.

The Lakers star is only joking, but Kimmel did pull a fast one on him. Capitalizing on Artest's reputation as a philanthropist, Kimmel and his pranksters tricked him into doing a fake PSA. We don't want to spoil anything, but it involves a porcupine. Artest's PSAs for PETA certainly didn't prepare him for this. Watch the video from last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live here:

wow, I can't remember anyone so successfully changing my perception of them...after his abhorrent behavior, fighting in the stands a few years ago, I had pretty much written him off as just another rich athlete who thinks he's above the law...but, after hearing for these last few years, just how kind, giving and genuinely caring he has always been, my mind has been completely changed...
he was absolutely adorable in this video...a PORKY-pine? too cute....

Kimmel and his staff did a great job on these pregame shows. In their appearances, the athletes showed that they are also cool people.

Has any athlete redeemed themselves from one horrible moment as well as Ron Artest? Seriously, I'm pretty cynical by nature but what a great guy.

What horrible moment? He was attacked and defended himself.

Crazy? Maybe. But, Ron Ron has a great heart. And, when he's "on", he's unstoppable on the hardwood.

And Ron Ron seems to be a self-deprecating, fun-loving guy.

I had lots of doubt when he came to LA, but he's totally changed my perception of him.
