Ron Artest has no regrets about giving away his Lakers title ring to boost mental health awareness. Artest planned to announce the winner of the charity raffle for his ring late Saturday at a club near the Staples Center, where the Lakers hosted the Heat in a Christmas showcase. Artest came up with the idea to give away his first ring after putting a spotlight on mental health by thanking his psychiatrist after Game 7 of the Lakers’ NBA Finals triumph in June. Artest’s raffle has raised more than $500,000 for his Xcel University charity, which will work with high-risk youth on mental health issues.
