]]> You can put the World Peace in Ron but you can’t take the street Artest out of Metta. Dude might be all love off the court but he’s still all business on it. Just check his claim that nobody on the planet can touch his touch his streetball squad.

To prove his mettle Metta called out DC native Kevin Durant on the eve of a streetball contest between NYC natives and ballers born in the Nation’s Capital.

“Truwarier’s verses Kevin Durants team. I got 200k or 300k on it!! Winner take all. For now I’m in LA!! Email my management if yal want it!! Anybody in america who really want to to play against my team forth money email Artestamg@gmail.com I’m tired of this! I run NYC streetball! If the goodman league wanna holla at the most consistent NBA streetball player holla. You can’t just start doing street ball. My squad here. I’ll take my squad with no pro players against any squad and there pro players.”

Now I’m all for Ron…or Metta…or whoever is speaking up making such bold claims. Where you’re from in hoops is as much a pride thing as how nice your game is. Nice to know World Peace is still Queens to the core.

]]> According to reports Kobe Bryant has made a verbal agreement with Italian club Virtus Bologna. If true the news is no real surprise as the flirtations between Bryant and Bologna have been ongoing for over a week now. The real news is of the bad sort. As in how bad a sign is this for the NBA?

First things first with this supposed deal. We’ve been here before with Besiktas though this situation feels much different. On one side you’ve got the Italian club reporting the deal is 95% done.

Whatever the real deal is this is tough pill for the NBA to swallow.

Bryant is among the pillars of professional hoops in this country. On the eve of the most important negotiating session to date, with the season hanging in the balance, Bryant bolting to Italy says a lot.
