EL SEGUNDO - Metta World Peace looked down at his chest and touched the Lakers logo on his yellow jersey.
“It’s good to be back and to be a part of this team with new players and be back with Kobe,” World Peace said at Monday’s media day. “I love having the Lakers patch stitched on my chest, touching my chest. Very comfy.”
Whether World Peace can make a smooth transition back into the NBA after one season playing in various parts of the world remains to be seen. Whether the 36-year-old small forward can still be a force is a question the Lakers are asking.
