Ron Artest is Ready For Reality TV

Ron Artest, who broke up a street brawl last week, is trying to take his good samaritan streak to reality TV.

 

TMZ reports that the NBA star is working on a series where he helps mentor a group of parolees. As part of the show, called Last Second Shot, Artest—with help from a team of mental health experts and life coaches—pushes parolees to take charge of their lives.

 

44 Blue Productions, the production company attached to the project, has not pitched the series to any networks yet, TMZ reports. However, they are very “high on it.”
