SO METTA

Things I am not:

  • A current NBA basketball player
  • A former NBA basketball player
  • A large person
  • An NBA commentator
  • A widely respected NBA journalist
  • Someone who has gotten so angry playing sports that he's concussed another large person
  • Someone who has been concussed by a volatile, large person
  • Metta World Peace
  • Ron Artest
