On June 26th, World Peace will take his first class at UCLA, where he will be studying digital analytics and social media marketing.
“I’m definitely not retiring,” World Peace told Lakers Nation of pursuing his master’s degree. “But, I think that people should always have their education. I think people should never, ever let someone say, only play basketball. You should always have an education, education is very important.”
The decision was pretty easy for World Peace, who after being told by Los Angeles Lakers President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson and General Manager Rob Pelinka that they did not have plans to bring him back next season, acted fast on his next move.
