Let's just chalk this response up to Metta being Metta. With two of the highest basketball IQ players in Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant on the same team, Los Angeles Times blogger Mark Medina had to ask their teammate Metta World Peace who he thinks is the smartest player on the current roster. The guy formerly known as Ron Artest went with Nash.    

Alright. But what's your logic behind that response? "He's white, so probably yes." Now, Medina did follow it up by saying that World Peace was obviously joking and to be honest, we're not surprised because as we stated earlier, this is just Metta being Metta.
