Metta World Peace: "Chalmers has more heart than Lebron" "Lebron not taking it upon himself like Jordan would have done"

festeringZit · Jun 12, 2013

"Chalmers, he wants it," World Peace said. "He gets it. He's not as talented as LeBron, but he has more heart. That's those Derek Fisher type of players. Players that have more heart that are not as talented and play hard."

"So, as a fan, sometimes to see LeBron not take over, I'm kind of like, 'Come on, let's do it.' His pops went to jail with my older brother. My brother spent 10 years in jail, they were locked up together. I'm a fan of LeBron, so I always want to see him do well and sometimes I'm like, 'Step it up! Start playing.' "

"I think LeBron and (Chris) Bosh, they want it to be given to them. I don't think they're taking it upon themselves like a (Michael) Jordan would have done."

World Peace also recently tweeted his "All Mental-Toughness Team" of the decade and included Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Tim Duncan, Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki, with James being noticeably absent.

He can't take over because he has doesnt have a consistent shot that he trusts - can imagine a team whose defense is to literally not guard u? imagine laying 5-10 feet off Kobe, Bird, or Dirk? they would shoot 75% - reality is Lebron is a top 25 player of all time - he is not in the league of Bird, Magic, Jordan, etc.

He's not in their league yet, but the potential is there. We'll see what the future holds.

But I agree with you Seymour, you've got idiots out there that will compare him to those guys and even say he's better, when he's just won one ring. When Lebron has
won 3,4,5 rings, then we'll talk.

i find it funny a player sitting at home during the Finals is talking about other players heart. Maybe if ron had more heart the lakers wouldnt have sucked this yr

And people said "wait until he wins one ring then we'll talk".
then it changed to 2, now it seems like it is wait until 3,4,5...

lebron could win 20 rings and it wouldn't matter, most people in their 30s and 40s think jordan was better. And most people in their 60s and 70s think russell and chamberlain were better.

The articles and tweets from game to game are so ridiculous, heat and spurs go back and forth and everyone jumps on and off each team's bandwagon lol

its gonna take more than 1 title to get lebron into the conversation with jordan, bird and magic. maybe the heat can sign another all star this off season to help..

lebron cant even hold tim duncan's jock, let alone jordans.
