Ironic to call somebody dumb and writing "simular"....just saying

Ironic to call someone out on the Internet about spelling and grammar only to use the present perfect and present progressive in the same sentence yourself.

offensively and defensively he is a better player than Bowen!
The problem is that he can't make a three if his life depended on it!

How about when a championship depends on it

I don't think I've seen Metta look like this since his Houston days. If he's back in that stage of his career the league is in trouble. The Lakers have a complete five.

didn't want to start a new MWP thread, but here's a piece talking about some back issues he's trying to overcome over the last couple of season

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/stor ... -retirment

...After scoring a season-high 26 points on 10-for-15 shooting in Wednesday's 98-84 win over the San Antonio Spurs, World Peace told reporters that he was playing through a lumbar disorder in his lower back last season. The back pain, specifically affecting his L4 and L5 vertebrae, was also limiting the range of motion in his legs and feet, severely limiting his jumping ability.

"I just thought my body was maybe messed up," World Peace said. "I was like, 'Yeah, 15 years is a lot of years. I got two more years on my contract and I could potentially be done.'"

World Peace was having trouble getting lift, even on wide-open layup attempts.

"It controls your foot, the downward motion," World Peace said. "So, if L4 and L5 is not working, or is compressed or inflamed, you might try to jump, but your foot, it's not going to move. It's not going to react."

World Peace was directed to a nerve doctor by Lakers trainer Gary Vitti after the Lakers were dismissed from the playoffs in embarrassing fashion in a sweep by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round. Just as embarrassing for World Peace were the career-low numbers he put up across the board, including averaging fewer than 10 points per game for the first time in his 12-year career.

Even though the problem was identified in May, the NBA lockout that started July 1 and lasted until early December prevented World Peace from approaching a rehab program with Vitti's and Lakers head physical therapist Judy Seto's guidance, as team employees were banned by the league from having any contact with players during the work stoppage.

Consequently, World Peace came into training camp 25 to 30 pounds overweight, according to estimates by the Lakers coaching staff, with work still to be done on his back....
