Metta World Peace is still playing professional basketball y’all. Yes, 18 years after entering the NBA as some guy named Ron Artest, that same man is playing by a different name and still having fun.
So much fun that he wanted the world to know “I love basketball” while shooting free throws for the Lakers against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.

How cute for the oh-so cuddly Metta World Peace, right?
Ok, so maybe cuddly isn’t a word anyone would ever use with Peace (or is it World Peace as the last name?). But, one would use the words mischievous and strange for sure and this incident is certainly that.
Alternatively, this could also be his way of convincing himself that nearly two decades of professional basketball is worth it? I mean, how many people play eight games, let alone 18 years of NBA basketball.
This season, Metta World Peace is averaging a whopping 0.3 points per game and playing an average of just three minutes. So look out world….Metta World Peace is on the loose in the NBA.
Whatever Metta’s reasons are, at least he isn’t creating negativity these days.
