Metta World Peace Says Tracy McGrady Was Just Like Kobe & MJ

Metta World Peace is an interesting man. When speaking with him, just from his natural tone you get the sense that what he’s saying is measured and agreeable. But then he says something about Tragedy Khadafi being the greatest emcee to ever come out of New York and forces you to reevaluate everything he said previously.
World Peace—formerly Ron Artest—has been an NBA mainstay for the better part of two decades. You probably already know about his checkered Henny-at-halftime past, his role in the infamous players vs. fans Malice at the Palace megafight, and his (underrated) post-championship song “Champions”. And, perhaps to a lesser extent, you know of the defensive prowess, physical strength, and leadership that has allowed him to play basketball on the highest level for so many years. But even today—how much do we really know Metta World Peace? Like, Tragedy Khadafi is the best NYC emcee? Really?
The enigmatic NBA star was gracious enough to speak to us about everything from his recent hilarious appearance on the go90 short form comedy series/30 For 30 spoof The 5th Quarter to why the Lakers are playing better without Kobe to whether he believes world peace is actually possible. He did not disappoint.
