Metta World Peace Shares Epic Story Of How Kobe Bryant Was Unfazed By His Intimidations

The man with the many names, Metta Sandiford-Artest, formerly known as Ron Artest, has had a great NBA career. He’s been an NBA Champion, an All-Star, a member of an All-NBA Team and 4 All-NBA Defensive teams.

But Metta also has always been one of the league’s most controversial players, and still owns the record for the longest suspension for an on-court incident in NBA history.

This also showed when he tried to intimidate Kobe Bryant, which obviously didn’t go MWP’s way, as you can imagine.

“I go to ref and said, ‘Did you just not see him do that?’ and he said, ‘No, I didn’t see him’.

So I go to Kobe and I am like ‘My brother, don’t you ever do that again my guy’… Kobe don’t care, Kobe was focused on the game. Kobe is a killer. He is different and I look up to Kobe.”
