What do you say when the backup late night host on a basic cable network buys you an aspirational Korean luxury car? Welcome to a day in the life of Ron Artest, who was given this awful "Lakers edition" Hyundai Genesis by forgotten late night host George Lopez.

This all happened back in March, before LA gave up two games to Dallas in the playoffs, but because it happened on the George Lopez Show none of us found out about it until today. Apparently Lopez said he'd buy Artest a Rolls Royce but Artest said all he needed was a "Hyundai." Lopez split the difference and gave him a tastelessly modified Hyundai Genesis sedan that looks sort of like a Bentley.

Platinum Motorsport upgraded the car with a yellow-flake paint, gold-rimmed grille, and yellow-look headlights. The interior has a Bugatti Veyron-esque fill pattern on the seats with yellow-on-purple leather inserts everywhere and Lakers floormats.

When Ron Artest dropped by “Lopez Tonight” after last season’s Lakers championship win, big-time Lakers fan George Lopez offered to buy Artest a Rolls Royce Phantom similar to the one Khloe Kardashian bought Lamar Odom. Ron-Ron being Ron-Ron replied, “It’s OK, I’ll take a Hyundai.” It appears George is a man of his word because he bought a Hyundai Genesis, tricked it out in Lakers gold and purple, and presented it to Ron when he came back on his show in March. Finally, we get to see some detailed pictures.

If this was any other NBA player, I imagine he would donate this car to a friend or family member because a true baller obviously can’t be seen driving around in a friggin’ Hyundai. But this is Ron Artest we’re talking about, so I’m almost positive this is now his main ride and that it will make an appearance if the Lakers have a three-peat victory parade in June.

CelebrityCarz.com isn’t feeling this custom job, giving it a two out of 10 while calling it “a joke and gimmick car” and “not too impressive”. In terms of “RonArtest-ness” though, I give it a 10 out of 10.
