I spent a lot of my career fighting coaches. When coaches told me don't shoot, I'd shoot anyway.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I've totally sacrificed my ego. And what happens? God is giving me everything.

Metta World brings championship mentality. That's it. One thing. That's what I do.

To me, Omarosa, she's just a nice lady, a big sister that I really love.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
For me, basketball was always about survival because I was just trying to get out the hood, right? When I got to Chicago, I'm like, 'I'm just trying to survive, and anybody I got to step on or break, so be it.'
Quote by -Metta World Peace
The thing about LeBron is he's very unselfish, right? So he can pass the ball.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
When I guard LeBron, I used to always want him to shoot, but he would just make the right play. He's legendary for making the right play, and it's really hard to guard when you're a team player.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
As far as the pros, people pay to come and see us, and I appreciate it because I'm able to take care of my family. So I don't really judge fans about what they say, good or bad.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I wish I would have listened, when I was a kid, to my elders or people who had my best interests at heart, and then I wish I would have been more conscious at that age also.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
At 19 years old, when I came out of St. John's, I was fresh out the 'hood. I was fresh out of Queensbridge.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I remember I came into the NBA in 1999; the game was a little bit more rough. The game now is more for kids. It's not really a man's game anymore.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I continue to learn about myself, about my past, understanding energy between people, understanding my own energy, being healthy.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
It's weird, the evolution of a person. You understand yourself, you understand your surroundings. Then, when you understand who came before you, once you understand that about yourself and the energy that you came to this planet with, you understand more about yourself.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I believe in order to coach, you've got to start at the ground level. The same way I learned how to play basketball.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
If it was up to me, I'd have everybody's jersey different. Each player would have their separate one. I think the game should be a joy, I think the game should be colorful.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I don't want to play for any team. I prefer playing for a lower team and playing against the best. I don't like playing with them: I want to play against them... and beat them.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
People who have followed my career still call me Ron, and that's OK; most of the young kids call me Metta, and then everyone in China calls me Panda. In the Middle East, they call me World Peace.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
As a kid, New York was in my blood, and that was it. I got a chance to play for the Knicks, so it was cool, but it was towards the end of my career.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I always wanted to play in Europe for a long time. They move the ball, and they move bodies, and that's what I like doing.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I always had the street mentality, but when you're older, you get more mature.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I grew up playing basketball on the streets of New York City, and it was very, very rough, and I started playing in the NBA in the same way.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
If you can be the best from Queensbridge and actually make it out, then you must be pretty good.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I'm not a 'real rapper'; I just like to talk about what I've been through. When I was younger, I just said random, stupid lyrics and censored myself because I was worried about what people would think. But now I've become more mature with my words and uncensored.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I grew up in the 'hood, but it was like growing up in Beverly Hills because there were so many superstars around.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
For me, I saw a psychologist because I wanted to connect more with people, with the earth, my environment. I want to connect more to my family.
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I have a street mind. My whole mindset when I first got to the NBA was, 'I'm bringing that street to the game,' and, 'I'm going to be the hardest guy on the court; I'm going to be the hardest guy on the planet.'
Quote by -Metta World Peace
I'm not afraid to improve myself spiritually, emotionally, economically. I'm not afraid to take on that challenge.
