Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest and sometimes referred to as “The Panda’s Friend,” is the gift that keeps on giving.
The outspoken forward, who currently plays for the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association, posted some bold statements and NBA predictions on Twitter.
First, he declared New York Knicks center Andrea Bargnani to be a top-five NBA center.

Then, the rather interesting NBA prediction rant began. (He also went on to call New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis the “greatest offensive and defensive West African basketball has ever seen.”)

If there’s one thing the Panda’s friend is good at, it’s providing ample entertainment.
