Ron Artest Supports Heat Players Crying, Would Give Them Hugs and Take Them to Ice Cream

In the wake of Erik Spoelstra's admission that some Miami Heat players cried in the locker room following their loss to the Bulls on Sunday, the "There's no crying in basketball" movement has garnered widespread support.

Ron Artest, however, isn't on the bandwagon. The controversial Lakers star and mental health activist told NBA TV on Monday that he supports the crying, as he and his therapist often cry and hug one another before talking about things.

In fact, Artest said that if he were with the Heat in their time of distress, he would hug them and take them to ice cream.
