Ron Artest has broken headlines with his decision to auction off his championship ring, and many people are joining his cause.  Artest and the rest of the Lakers received their rings on Tuesday night, but he will not keep his for long.  Artest is planning to release the winner on Christmas Day.  However, he must first fix his website.  Artest’s website RonArtest.com crashed due to heavy traffic, but Larry King is helping Artest by launching NetRaffle.org.  People can now purchase the raffle tickets at the site, and enter to win a NBA Championship Ring!
