Metta World Peace, you are now in the 8th Seed Playoff. Spot. where are you going?
Metta: "I am going to Disney World"

From ESPN Article..
"
With so much buildup to the game in Orlando -- Howard has been fielding questions for the past week -- his teammates' attitudes ranged from a defiant Bryant to an indifferent Metta World Peace.

"Boos don't block dunks," Bryant said.

As for World Peace?

"I don't really care, because I'm going to Disney World," he said. "We're getting in early. I don't care. I'm going to go on these rides. I'm going let the fans do what they do, that's their problem. I'm going to have the Mickey Mouse ears, all that. Watch me. You don't believe me, just watch."

Usually you hear players say they're going to Disney World after they win a championship. World Peace said it the day the Lakers finally could be considered a playoff team. Coming from the man who predicted a record-breaking number of victories by the Lakers last season, it's a sign of how far the expectations have dropped.

MWP would be an interesting guy to hang out with on a rainy day.

Of course expectations dropped. Things change. For example hypothetically I get pumped for a new job and believe I will be employee of the year and after a few tumultuous months I look for another job and get surprised if the boss recognizes my birthday.
The thing about life is stuff always change.
That is why I don't get it when media harps on someone who makes a prediction in the beginning about a team and he doesn't stand by it at the end. Who cares? Why is it so taboo to change your thinking?
I also predicted lakers and Miami this finals but now I changed my thought. I just jope lakers can make some noise in the playoffs. So go lynch me. I also predicted my new car last year would be perfect but today I in hindsight regret not getting the other car. I just hope I get good usage out of this one for a few years.

You guys (fans) take things way too seriously at times... "I understand why" but seriously we are human beings, we aren't alloud to have fun - even if we are losing or winning???

Esh If I was a B-ball player travelling to every city i'd do what ever I could to visit everything that city had to offer If I had the time.

Yeah.........he'd just have grab some dinner at some strange person's crib you don't even know. He get's down like that. It'll go like this...

Gek : "So Metta, I'm thinking maybe sea food for some grub"

Metta: " Cool I like sea food, and I know a cool spot too"

Gek: " Let's roll homie"

Metta: " Let me set up the GPS, I got the spot locked in.......they got bomb food, you'll love it"

Gek: "Hell yeah I'm hungry too"

Metta: " This is a beautiful neighborhood huh man "

Gek: " Yeah it's cool"

Metta: " Oh here it is"

Gek: " Who we picking up ?"

Metta:"Nobody this the food spot with the bomb food"

Gek: " Metta...dawg this just some random ass house"

Metta: " Yeah but I stopped here last week for dinner....cool family too"

Gek:( whispering to self ) " What the f*** did I get in to ?....damn I'm gonna be sick "

I like kobe's quote that boos dont block dunks. so well said

I hope Orlando boos loudly, early, and often. Usually that gets the guy getting booed fired up and leads to a monstrous games.

I'd hedge my bets on Dwight being one of those guys.

It's so dumb too, booing. I get wanting to, but I so never see it work out the way fans think it will. So boo away Orlando. Metta will have Mickey Mouse ears on.

But it'd be cool bc it's MWP and no one calls the cops on a man in Elmo pants.
