Metta World Peace Doesn’t See ‘Anybody’ Getting Past the Lakers


With a revamped roster, the Los Angeles Lakers have the right to be confident—but we don’t know about this confident. When questioned by ESPN radio, Metta World Peace said he thinks L.A. is going to go all the way this season, and sounded absolutely positive about that fact.

More details, via ESPNLosAngeles:

“Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace joined the Max and Marcellus Show on 710 ESPN radio on Friday to discuss the team’s upcoming season and share his thoughts on the reconstructed roster. ‘With the way the Lakers are looking this year, I don’t see anybody getting past us this year at all,’ World Peace said. Despite the Lakers’ exit in the second round of the NBA playoffs last spring, World Peace says he believes the team developed good chemistry under coach Mike Brown. ’Not only does he have confidence in his team, he also has confidence in himself,’ World Peace said. ‘I gotta trust in myself, trust in my teammates most importantly.’”

    Do you have a link to your organization? I’d love to see some more info on it.

    Does that mean I’m talking to Ralph Baker?

  • albertan

    I have little confidence in Mike Brown’s ability to mesh this team. Wrong coach

  • Ugh

    Wait, are you sending someone else to sort shockexchange out?I thought you were the big guy who played ball at the big school – do it yourself.

  • Ugh

    You saw him at the club spending $10,000 on alcohol?
    A) You kept tabs on his account.
    B) How does anyone spend $10,000 on alcohol in a night?
    C) You were at a club where someone can spend $10,000 on alcohol.
    Conclusion: you’re a liar or a bartender. Or both.

    I didnt go to Pratt, my boy did (were he was all-conference) then he transferred to Saint Joes (were he earned a walk on spot), I played at Pratt occasionally in open run against the team as well as Saint Joes, I went to HS in Fort Greene, theres a small school there called Brooklyn Tech, I only mention those two places because “Shock Exchange ” mentions them on his site, thus showing I know real ball players in neighborhoods he frequents. I also played on a West 4th street team outta Tompkins, called Raz’s Allstars, when I lived on Vernon, between Tompkins and Throop. Grew up in Brooklyn , moved to Far Rock around JHS, excelled and gained acceptance to BT. Played in almost every major tournament in NYC except the entertainers classic, That means Pro-city, West 4th, Kingdome, Almighty Force (both; the winter one in JHS 226 and the summer one in Ajax Park), you name it I played in it, and you saying left for Uconn like you were a F-in recruit, kill yo-self.

    Regretfully, i dont live in NYC anymore, moved to Vegas about 3 years ago, but still I still know ball -players in his neck of the woods, what difference would it make? They come bust his ass and I post that shit to youtube so we can all have a laugh, they can go meet him in those shitty ass courts a block up from Fort Greene park like two blocks from Spike Lee’s shop.

    As a bouncer I know how much bottles cost and if I am the one watching his table or running the rope in his section then yeah I know how much he’s spending on the table. and a bottle of Patron the super sized one is $7,500 you do the math especially when he sending bottles of Cristal to the DJ booth each night, those two bottles will run you about 12 grand and for the record he had more than two bottles a night, each one of his boys had their own bottle so 10G’s was conservative, but thanks for your input to dumba$$
    A) your ignorant
    B) your a dumba$$
    C) you have no idea there is a world beyond what your tiny little mind can comprehend.
    Oh and Bartenders don’t run the table service inside of clubs, FYI, they serve broke as muthafu((as like yourself, the waitresses bring the bottles to the table and pour the drinks. One last note, bottle service starts at $475 and thats for some cheap a$$ Vodka.

    That’s what I’m trying to figure out because according to his Bio dude would be in his late 40′s early fifties, If he got his masters in ’89 figure if he was prodigious and knocked it out early, conservative he would have been at least 22 (more likely 25), thus add the 23 years that have passed since then simple math puts him at at least 45 but I am willing to bet its closer to 50, unless this if Ralphie III which means he’s some soccer playing; basketball reject who’s claiming credit for a book his father wrote.

    you left out Hoops in the Sun!

  • shutup

    Unfortunately never played in Hoops in the Sun, that train trip to the Bronx was two much for me too do consistently, that is why Dyckman isn’t on my list even though I played a couple games there, that train trip from Far Rock took forever. The furthest I traveled north in Manhattan was riverside Park, because it had some of the best indoor run in the winter.
