Metta World Peace Discussion: All aboard the Peace train!

wallace was always listed at 6'9 but they look about the same height in that video

crazy how he was such a great rebounder and shotblocker while being so undersized for his position

 

I think with hair, he was 7'2"-ish

 

Sirronstuff says speaking in the 3rd person for the win.

 

Here's what's covered:


Good listen.

-Obviously all the Kobe stuff was great-- stories of playing with him, where they were when they found out he died, Kobe and MJ comps.

-I think the most surprising thing to me was his story about the summer he came here. He wanted to stay in Houston, then tried for a reunion in Indy, then reached out to Detroit trying to turn the page on their relationship, wanted NY but knew that wouldn't happen with Walsh there, Cavs wasn't going to be the right fit, then was looking overseas before Mitch called.

-We also got a Mbenga shout out and a short story when Ron and DJ dyed their hair, LO wants to get him on the pod (that's a must listen).

-Both like the IST and both think the banner should be hanging up.

 

Not sure how I feel about that. Making light of a dark moment in the NBA history. But... it's probably my "get off my lawn" moment.

 

It’s funny

 

He looks EXACTLY like Metta, damn.
