@@DigitalWarcloud what? Are you disagreeing? He said "basketball IQ" first of all, and his is very high. To be that good defensively talks a lot of knowledge and preparation. Also, Ron might have a high IQ in general. Often times people with psychiatric disorders have a lot of brain power, like myself (I'm not bragging, it sucks!
If you're from NY, and old enough in the 90's you know that Artist was a huge name in highschool basketball. I forget what he was ranked nationally, so to see him Get a ring with the Mamba RIP, was storybook level. Especially with all the ups and downs of his career. But his run on Houston was like when he was in high school, a dominant force on the court. Great interview! And Great theme music RIP NIP!
I love Artest. He reminds me of Tyson. Kind of crazy, well were crazy in the beginning of their careers. Now are mature absolutely amazing people. Cheers to them and proof people do change for the better.
Very true, I remember when the Lakers first signed him in the off-season of 09’. Lakers lost Ariza to FA and all of sudden Metta signed with the Lakers. It was perfect because now we had someone that could get physical with Paul Pierce because we knew the Lakers were meeting the Celtics in the finals
Mr Sharpe, I hope you continue to do great things with this podcast.. Ron Artest have did many of interviews before but the way you help him show his greatness and his brilliant personality was epic. I think your podcast will forever be evolved after this one!!
We need more players with the mentally of Metta. Players who want to compete and beat the best not play with them. He has attitude of former players who was confident in their ability to win the championship. Shout out Metta for being brutally honest.
Shannon at random chance you see this, you gotta start promoting this on your social media more. You have a huge following who may not even know you do podcast and they’d love it.
This is the first time I heard Shannon Sharpe talk about boxing very analytically and metta world Peace is a great person to talk to about fighting coming from queensbridge
Meta World Peace winning a championship with the Lakers was exciting to watch giving what all he’s been through during his nba career. When he played for the rockets was intriguing watching him dominate from the defensive end
Metta's maturity is off the charts, it doesn't seem that he is just buying in to the "politically correct posture" that greats are mandated to abide to, he actually believes in it and even corrects himself to keep his composure looking absolutely respectable. he's come a long way, and seems happier with himself after that distance. go ahead, bro!
Metta world peace should get into acting and be the next Doc in any Back to the Future reboot. Crazy, eccentric, somehow still a fkn genius. Love this guy.
I think Metta was the first athlete to bring mental health to the forefront. Definitely he was first in the NBA. He made the first big steps to normalize getting therapy. He wasn’t scared to talk about it, and I think that helped a lot of other players to do the same.
WR Brandon Marshall brought it forward in the NFL. Metta did it initially in the NBA and Kevin Love following his trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers also made his mental battle public.
Best interview I’ve seen my boy Ron do! Always been a fan since my cousin used to bust me up with him on the old nba live! Great interview Shannon and giving him the space to speak!
“Right” after everything Metta says lol. I love watching these interviews just got tired of the word “right” after just a couple min in lol good interview overall!
I enjoyed this interview from start to finish after watching the documentary on netflix and the whole narrative in regards mettas state of mind this guy strike me as a brother and has a great sense of humor
Good interview. Meta was always a real one. I’m from Indianapolis, and When his Ron Artest you would see him everywhere and he was so down to earth. I remember meeting him at the mall, and he was walking around in a wife beater and gym shorts and he shook my hand, and introduced me to his family who he was there with, and he was just so humble, nothing like what most folks outside of Indiana would think he was like. Glad he got the help he needed and he’s living his best life.
Metta wanted to be a 260-280 pound safety lmao 🤣 Metta: I wanted to go to the NFL Shay: can you catch Metta: uh I caught the football a few times when I played on the beach. LMAO 🤣 forget
He almost comes off as a super excited kid. I love how raw and honest he is about things. What he wants, what he could or could not do. Rating other players and himself and being honest about it all.
22:48 I like that metta world Peace pushback on Shannon Sharpe narrative and stood his ground on his narrative great dialogue fellas both realities can be true.
@@criticalthought4910 I think it’s a lil diff for athletes tho , like majority of them have been sport stars since middle school and in most real hoods the neighborhood looks out for them , like even the gangs for example would be like “oh that’s Ron Ron he good” ... Shannon prob had a lot of haters bc he had so much mouth 😂
@@kingjonesthe1st Thats a myth. There are just as many instances of jealous individuals murdering aspiring athletes and trying to destroy them. Every year you hear a different tale about a promising athlete being the victim of gun violence or a promising athlete veing involved in some kind of idiotic criminal act that was influenced by some crab.
Ron Artest is the result when we are honest with ourselves. You at the mountain of a man he has become. Not simply working on physical attributes but also mental and spiritual. Mr. Sharpe has another jem interview to his broad collection. Keep it coming!
@@billsmith7642 he was an all American in highschool and the #1 player in the state . If Lebron chose the football path I’m pretty sure he would be fine lol
@@boblansonfig3972 i respect your words there....but then again they said the same about Tebow with baseball lol....imo the one glaring weakness in Lebrons game, is his psyche....he was likely used to being able to over power/out jump everybody all the way towards the nba....and was the benefactor of the game shifting gears from a much more physical era 80s/90s/early 2000's.....he was used to no one bodying him up for so long, that now...we're starting to see players arent intimidated of him any longer....see that play where Chris Paul & Lebron got tied up boxing out.....and Lebron it looked like he got injured initially....just saying, he is way to big to be actin like that lol....if it were flag football, hed be an All Pro....but since unlike HS, he would be one of the more slender players on the field, opposing defenses would be lickin' their chops....he made the right choice
@@boblansonfig3972 Russel Westbrook on the other hand....could definitely see him playin in the nfl, at a myriad of different positions....not only a great athlete, but certainly is "chippy" enough to make it work
Lakers would have lost game 7 against celtics in nba finals if there was no metta world piece on lakers team. Metta is an example of amazing transformation of a person. He has become more wise, great communicator, and still works hard in his physical and mental fitness. He has a big heart.
I saw lebron when he was young on the cavs play at Indiana. I was right up front I couldnt believe how big lebron was just in awe then Meta walked up and his arms were bigger than lebron. Then Carlos Boozer walked up and he dwarfed all of them.
When World Peace started going on about Jordan, uncle Shay Shay changed the subject. Has to stay in line with the agenda given to him by the Lebron James camp!!!
Absolutely respect Metta, he should coach in the NBA, he can teach defense, and how to foul without getting caught, for example how to subtly drop the knee, when you fall. Not many players can do that.
59:53 MWP - " that's all @BenSimmons have to do take the in rhythm shot no matter whether he misses it or makes it so that his team can get the chance to get the defensive rebound " , (Certified gem from A champion in MWP) if Ben Simmons practice that very thought the same as the physical shot he should easily be able to fix his shot issue "Champion Vantage" point of view WOW.
Man this was a great interview. Metta got a whole new respect from me. When he told Shay if you bring a 26 year old Artest back I dont wanna play with a superstar. That was a great response. He want to beat the best not join them. I like that Artest.
32:00 I think the reason players in todays game are so skilled is because they have more freedom physically becuase there is no contact allowed. Todays NBA is a 5v0 scrimmage compared to the 90's. Defence is handcuffed in todays game ... and so skilled players can shoot shots with little to no contest. In the 90's players had to shoot with handcuffs on and with cement blocks on. the physical game was way more tiring physically.
I feel you the floor space and getting rid of bigs has allowed guys to have more room to be creative. But they actually don’t shoot better just check they just shoot more 3’s but their are a couple of years in the early 2000’s where the league shot better slightly
Agree 1000% its the same argument with the nfl. Yes Brady is the best today. His numbers are off the charts. But brady is not getting beat up like Marino or Montana either. So he can make those high numners of throws and catches.
It wasn't the nba it was the conservative media at the time who loved controlling the narrative, that's why these podcasts by professional athletes are a game changer

I agree with you. I said the exact same thing.
Metta needs to be an analyst (if he wants to be). This man is so freaking intelligent and his sports knowledge is phenomenal.
Metta was Rodman to Kobe IMO. it’s crazy to see Rodman during interviews and these guys have the same mannerisms haha
Very true, I remember when the Lakers first signed him in the off-season of 09’. Lakers lost Ariza to FA and all of sudden Metta signed with the Lakers. It was perfect because now we had someone that could get physical with Paul Pierce because we knew the Lakers were meeting the Celtics in the finals
@@RealEpicWork Rodman with offense.
This was a phenomenal interview Unc. Metta is such a fascinating person to interview
Metta actually seems chill here, that’s great to see since he’s usually moving around suffering from anxiety.
I saw Metta in Vegas last year. He is the biggest human I've ever seen. He's massively huge. Tv doesn't do it justice
Yeah he is pretty big NBA players in general are

When Shannon ask Ron about elbowing Jordan in the ribs. And he gave that laugh. You know he crazy 😂😂😂
Great interview 👍🏿

Brooo. The moment this man said jab to the body I was like 👀
Spoken by a true student of the game. Respect.

Awesome show!!!! Metta is a inspiration and an uplifting person. Love this interview. Hope he’ll be a head coach soon. The new Zen master.
