It's Metta World Peace's 35th birthday, and to celebrate, the cerebral power forward is taking to Twitter to share his thoughts on the current state of the NBA, as well as the future of teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks.
Touching on topics like the San Antonio Spurs (he loves 'em), the 2015 NBA playoffs (the Clippers are looking good), and the viability of Andrea Bargnani (top 5 NBA center?), World Peace offered his takes with all of his trademark eccentricity. What else can you expect from a man who willingly rocks panda bear sneakers?
World Peace is currently playing in China for the Sichuan Blue Whales, and it's Twitter rants like these that make us miss having him over here in the States. Can an NBA team please sign him now? Based on these predictions, we don't expect that he'll be able to get a job as an analyst anytime soon.
#KnicksTape2018
Knicks ring coming in 2018 . My prediction

When @AndreaBargnani gets a title here or there, I want all you guys working for me ok???
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014One man's trash...
YAl sleeping on @AndreaBargnani . The ..... is nice. He just has to stay healthy. Shoot , drive and pass at 7foot. And is a very good dfnder
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014...is another man's top 5 center.
Andre is top 5 centers in the NBA.
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014This is the first time anyone has referred to Andrea Bargnani as "perfect".
I can't wait to Big AB gets back. He is a perfect center for the triangle starting or coming off the bench!!! Go NYC! pic.twitter.com/Sxa2lbE2MY
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014That's a BIG "if".
If the Andre comes back , and the knicks go on 10-0 run when he gets in shape, I don't want to hear you guys tweeting ok?
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014The Eastern Conference is bad, but not this bad.
Guaranteed 15-3 run with the foreigner and the big international returns. Then you will see the knicks in the 8 spot moving up to 6th seed!!
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014Wait, are we still talking about the NBA?
Knicks will be contenders shortly. But I still believe Bucks and kings will make it to the finals before the knicks. Also, Davis is!!
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014West Africa?
The kid in New Orleans is the Greatest Offensive and Defensive West African basketball has ever seen.My socks fly off my feet when he plays!
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014Stranger things have happened, we guess.
I predict a knicks vs lakers final in the next 2 to 4 yrs
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014Only 10 more to go.
I also predict the Spurs to get 15 rings total in the next 13 yrs. but not this year.
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014Steph Curry, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Carmelo Anthony might have something to say to you.
Number 2 from the Spurs is top ten in the NBA. Argue that!!!!!
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014Where do we start?
Tell me what im right about and tell me what im wrong about..
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014Okay, we can at least agree with that.
Pelican will go to Western Semi against the Clippers where they will lose but the future is bright
— thepandasfriend.com (@MettaWorldPeace) November 13, 2014LOL. Goodnight, Metta.
Goodnight. I have a game tomorrow. Call me Black China. pic.twitter.com/gH3yqlvcIK
