Lakers report: Metta World Peace returns to Detroit, and he wants to help the city

Metta World Peace has a complicated history with the city of Detroit.

But when World Peace had an idea he thought could help the children of Detroit, he didn’t let that complicated history get in the way of what he saw as a city in need.

“I was actually trying to present it to Donald Trump before he was president,” said World Peace, who was known as Ron Artest in the 2004 brawl at the Palace. “Just have a meeting. I still want to set it up. Because I feel like what I have planned, I think it falls in line with Democrats and Republicans.
