Metta World Peace on Twitter: 20 Greatest Tweets from NBA Lockout
Metta World Peace's Twitter account is one that deserves a follow from everyone who is active on the platform.
Although he's been known for making some enigmatic statements in the past, the wisdom that he spreads on Twitter is not something that any fan of the NBA should miss.
Here are his 20 most memorable tweets since the work stoppage became official.
20. Top Soul Food Treats
1 of 20Metta World Peace likes soul food, and he wants you to know his top five favorites.
Mac n' cheese, yams, collard greens, stuffing and fried chicken.
19. Hackers and Naked Pictures
2 of 20World Peace isn't about hackers or naked pictures.
He doesn't like it when people hack into his Twitter account, nor does he like it when hackers send him naked pictures of human beings.
Can't say I blame him.
18. Listening to Chris Kluwe's Band
3 of 20World Peace isn't resigned to just one kind of music; he likes all different genres in the game.
He wanted to see Chris Kluwe's rock band perform, declaring himself a big fan of the group.
In case you didn't know, Kluwe, who is the punter for the Minnesota Vikings, has a rock band.
He made Donovan McNabb agree to promote the group in exchange for the No. 5 jersey in Minnesota.
17. Self-Proclaimed Celine Dion Groupie
4 of 20Metta is a self-proclaimed groupie for Celine Dion.
There's really nothing else to say other than that.
His smile says it all.
16. Parking Tickets
5 of 20We won't be seeing Artest on the back of his uniform anymore.
Nor will we see him wearing No. 15.
But before any of that could happen, he had to pay his parking tickets.
He called himself a "bean head" for not doing so.
15. Top Four Boxing Matchups
6 of 20World Peace has advocated his passion for boxing previously, and he's provided us with his preferred opponents.
He makes it clear that it has to be boxing and that it has to be in a ring.
No street fights here.
14. When He'll Be Ready for Klitschko
7 of 20Just because he wants to box Klitschko doesn't mean that he's ready.
In fact, World Peace indicated that he wouldn't be ready until he's 35.
He'll be 32 in November.
13. Baby Oprah
8 of 20He's done some great work in the community, and it often gets overlooked.
It's impossible to frown on him for donating half a million dollars to society.
But when you rock that (awesome) haircut, the Oprah comparisons seem a little far-fetched.
12. On the Timing of When to Eat Prunes
9 of 20He's got some important advice for fans about when to eat prunes.
Make sure it's not before you go to work.
11. Does Metta World Peace Fight?
10 of 20Metta World Peace doesn't fight and won't be boxing.
That's Ron Artest's job.
10. More Knowledge on Prunes
11 of 20Don't let anyone sway you from the desire to eat your prunes.
Clearly, they're an essential part of the daily diet.
9. World Peace Has an International Fanbase
12 of 20World Peace's fanbase expands to global boundaries.
He wants all of his fans to know that they're equally appreciated.
On this particular day, his dedication was to his Korean followers.
8. On the Crack Epidemic
13 of 20Mr. World Peace is always spreading knowledge.
He shared his thoughts about the crack epidemic and its subsequent effects.
7. How He'll Contribute to Charity
14 of 20Rampage Jackson, meet World Peace's chin.
You're going to test it for charity, according to the stout defender.
This should be interesting.
6. Artest and John Green Speak Every Other Day
15 of 20Not familiar with John Green?
He's the guy who Artest went at it with during his infamous brawl.
Apparently, they speak "like every other day."
5. Monkey Movement
16 of 20Who said a man can't appreciate how a monkey goes about their business?
They do have some sweet moving action between trees.
Gotta trust those muscles.
4. Granny Was Droppin' It Like It's Hot
17 of 20As an NBA player, Metta probably sees and hears a lot of things that most would not.
Maybe this is the sight that Artest was describing when an old woman with a bad hip was droppin' it like it was hot.
3. Dogs in Hollywood
18 of 20Hollywood can be a weird place, but I've never quite heard it described like World Peace verbalized.
Then again, I've also never run into dogs who were trying to invade my personal space.
2. Scared to Dance?
19 of 20Before he appeared on Dancing With the Stars, World Peace was a little afraid of dancing in the public eye.
In fact, he said he would rather wear "nut hugging" shorts and jump around like Kriss Kross.
As the picture shows, he's already (at least) done one of those.
1. Medical Tomatoes
20 of 20Now here's where it gets really strange.
Marc Stein, a respected NBA writer for ESPN.com, was congratulated by World Peace for his recent medical achievements.
