Metta World Peace to Cheshire Jets: “UK, here we come!”

August 10, 2011

Tweet of the week? That’s an easy one. Here’s something from Ron Artest, a.k.a. Metta World Peace, from about 12 hours ago as of this writing:

“Go Jets!!!!! UK, here we come!!! Jets are the best!!! Jets are the best!!! New chant!!!!!!!!!”

Yes, it turns out that one of the wackiest rumors surrounding the NBA lockout and players’ concomitant interest in signing with European teams in the interim has turned out to be true, as the Los Angeles Laker has accepted an offer to play with the British Basketball League’s Cheshire Jets; he’ll reportedly be joining training with the side next month. The decision comes despite agent David Bauman denying Artest would play in the U.K. less than one month ago.

Now say “Queensbridge,” Jets fans!
