Ron Artest is basically the unofficial mayor of Los Angeles. His latest interest? Dodgeball. And he’s not very good at it, which makes it all the more refreshing.

Also worth noting: The girl in red shorts who kept jumping up and down seems like she’d make a wonderful teammate. One more vid after the jump.
