Metta World Peace predicts LaMelo Ball rookie-year All-Star bid, Zion Williamson MVP

Metta World Peace has never been one that’s afraid to speak his mind. In his post-playing days, his unfiltered thoughts usually come via Twitter and social media. Whether he’s calling his former teammate one of the best ever Lakers, campaigning for the Knicks head coaching job or adding his two cents on the greatest basketball player ever, he’s a man always full of opinions.

On Sunday morning, World Peace offered up his latest analysis, first predicting LaMelo Ball to make a run at the All-Star game.

Then, he followed it up with a bolder prediction for Zion Williamson and the Pelicans.

World Peace is no stranger to gassing up the Ball family. He has backed LaVar Ball as a potential head coach, said the Lakers would have been a playoff team in 2018-19 if Lonzo Ball was healthy and was a proponent of the JBA went it was launched.

Really, World Peace is just a person who only says nice things and constantly compliments and encourages players. The world needs more people like World Peace.
