Coronavirus: LA Lakers Legend Metta World Peace Issues Strong Warning To People Staying Outdoors

The public was informed long ago that the best defense for not contracting the virus is to stay indoors so there will be no close contact with people who possibly carry the coronavirus. If you will be caught outdoors by one of the NBA’s best defensive players in history, you know you will be in big trouble.

Los Angeles Lakers’ fan-favorite Metta World Peace posted on his social media that he might just do his own way of forcing people to stay at home or face the consequences of being on the bad side of things. The 40-year old forward said that he will be enforcing his defense to people who are still staying outdoors amid the spread of coronavirus in the country.

Now, that’s a hard wall for you anyone to try and break.

And Metta isn’t afraid to get dirty just to play hard against the opposition.

The erstwhile Ron Artest was a former NBA Defensive Player of the Year when he was part of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2004. He was credited by guarding the other team’s best players and he did it with ease. He was a great one-on-one defender and players find it hard to get past the defense of the 6-foot-7 forward from St. John’s.

World Peace is also known for being part of the Malice in the Palace in 2004 when he was still with the Indiana Pacers. The brawl got him suspended indefinitely which ended up being 86 total games, the longest in NBA history. In 2011, he legally changed his name to Metta World Peace.

He was again suspended for throwing an elbow on James Harden after celebrating a dunk during the first half of their showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder but claims it was unintentional.

World Peace played 18 seasons in the NBA, establishing himself as one of the most feared defenders in the league. He’s won his only championship with the Lakers and has also played with the Chicago Bulls, Pacers, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets, and the New York Knicks.
