VIDEO: Metta World Peace Makes His Triumphant Return From Suspension

As noted all over the basketball world, Metta World Peace will be returning from his seven-game suspension to play Game 7 for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. The Lakers surely hoped World Peace's return would come sometime in the second round against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but alas, they have not been able to put away a suddenly-confident Nuggets team.

So, instead, World Peace has to come and save the day for the Lakers on Saturday. We’re not exactly sure how World Peace plans to re-introduce himself to the Lakers, Nuggets and NBA fans everywhere. However, we here at SB Nation have obtained a copy of something World Peace recorded of himself as he was brainstorming ideas.


Sorry, JaVale McGee, it just got real. Good luck.
