Los Angeles Lakers enforcer Ron Artest will be shaking his hips for the upcoming season 13 of ABC's Dancing with The Stars. Artest is deeply focus and motivated to do this gig because of his daughter, who is cancer survivor.
Artest told PEOPLE at DWTS cast announcement, "At first it was not appealing. I did not want to do it. I don't dance and all of the dressing up and everything, but my daughter Diamond was like, Daddy, you should do it."
The 31-year-old NBA star wants to make an impact and portion of the profits that he will earned will go to a great cause.
"I had a chance to play basketball overseas and I had a chance to do Dancing with the Stars," Artest says. "She asked me to do it, and I thought I could dance and raise some money for cancer research. I'm going to donate the profits."
Great idea!!! Respect to the man.
Dancing With the Stars returns Sept. 19 with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m.
