WATCH: Ron Artest, Shirtless and in Boxer Shorts, on "Jimmy Kimmel"

For today's sexy: Lakers forward Ron Artest appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live shirtless and in "sexy" boxer shorts. After some light banter and a marriage proposal from Kimmel—"Don't worry," the talk show host assures him. "I'll be the wife wink wink"—Ron Ron explains his outfit. "Sometimes I just do this .... wear sexy boxer shorts like this. But I'm not 'freeballing', I'm wearing underwear underneath." The baller stood up and modeled front and rear gave a peek of what was in his "pockets".

There's also a cute bit about Ron Ron having a conversation with Kobe Bryant in the shower and "steam was coming from Kobe's body. Only Kobe can do that." I know that's right....

For your enjoyment more screencaps and watch the two part interview WHEN YOU JUMP. Thanks Ravenback and Chris Cruz.

[Derrick from Philly]

Well, he has personality, but I prefer Mr Hester and the football boys. Now, let me go watch that tape from Sunday night's game for the fifty 'leventh time.

LITERALLY! lol ;)

I've always loved Ron Artest.

[Lang B]

Jimmy will be the wife - that was fun and playful.

[Ravenback]

I loved how Ron Artest handled the entire conversation without resorting to homophobic or "no homo" comments. Floyd Mayweather could learn a few lessons from him.

And he does have a great looking body. You can tell he's hiding some serious booty inside those shorts.

I always thought I liked Jimmy Kimmel a lot (His response to his gf Sarah Silverman's "I'M F(*&ING MATT DAMON" was to do a "I'M BONING BEN AFFLECK" response) but now I adore him.

"DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE THE WIFE" is soooo dealing with athletes and their stuff, too, and just not giving a hoot about appearances AT ALL.

I love Ron for not even flinching when he offered marriage and wifely duties.

Jimmy Kimmel really is the funniest dude in late night TV!

QUOTE OF THE SHOW:

"ONLY KOBE COULD DO THAT. STEAM WAS JUST COMING FROM HIS BODY."

In the shower?

With Kobe?

Meeting and conversing?

WOW...And not a "no homo" to be heard.

[Former COGIC]

What Rev Kev and Ravenback said.
Ron Artest was funny, witty and has his own sex appeal and charm. He was graceful and did not get all homophobic. He handled himself very well. Nice clip.

And gawd I had NO idea he was working with ALL THAT lol

[CC]

I'm in LOVE!!! or at least lust!!

[mechadude2001]

Damn, Artest got body!

[TheRevKev]

Mechadude2001...aren't you STUNNED that he's got body like that? I don't know why I thought he was lanky and skinny.

He's got an amazing body and he's funny and sincere and just cool.

RON ARTEST. GOOD MOVE!

[BartonHughes]

I never expected to see this side of him, no pun intended - really.
He seemed gleeful to be pushing the envelope. I loved how he kept threatening to put his shirt back on. Damn, I am glad he didn't.

[kayman]

Nice, he's actually had a chance to see him in person before and he is even better looking in person. My cousin and her best friend are close friends with him. He is one tall, fine drink of water...

[Paul561]

Dayum Ron! Wrap me up in your arms baby! Thanks ROD, after a long night at work, this is just whats needed. Oooo hold me all nite long Ron! Lol

[Cedric]

Wow we just were having a Sun Beams meeting and discussing this! Rod once again on point! Thanks! Smoochies! Now back to Ron...I never really paid any attention to this guy but boy was he funny and had a nice personality. I bet he is fun to hang out with. Now the body was RIGHT and he just pick up a few fans I see! Go RON!!

[Mel Smith]

I also respect Ron Artest.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

[Rodney Mc.]

Wow, I was and still remain pleasantly stunned that he pushed the envelope like that...and looked good doing it, too!!!

[C.J. Bates]
