OAKLAND, Calif. -- When Ron Artest raised his angry right hand to the throat of the unsuspecting Shawne Williams in the first quarter on Sunday, it was a trip back to a place no one wants to go.
The edge. The look. The unpredictability.
The Lakers small forward who had buried a layup in traffic and been bumped by the New York Knicks forward en route to the free throw line looked ready to crush Williams' Adam's apple with a Darth Vader-like death grip, thus exiting this Zen-ish place in which he has flourished for some time now. But Artest -- whose takedown of Amar'e Stoudemire two quarters later was a continuation of the aggressive play for which he was once known -- stopped just in time to avoid the wrath of Emperor Stern.
