    Metta World Peace showed up Friday to the first day of training camp slightly overweight and greatly out-of-playing shape, blaming his lack of conditioning on the uncertainty of the lockout.

    “You know, I didn’t think the season would start until January,” he said. “You work out, you’re in shape in October, September, August. You’re in shape (at that time.)

    “Then (NBA commissioner) David Stern said it’s going to be a ‘nuclear winter” and I’m thinking the season isn’t gong to start in December, you know. So, (you have) a little bit more martinis in November.

    “Then boom! David Stern says no ‘nuclear winter’ and you have a season.”

    World Peace said he now has to do double the workouts so he can get into playing shape quickly in the shorten training camp and be ready for the start of the season on Christmas Day. Lakers coach Mike Brown said he noticed World Peace soaked through two jerseys during the four-hour practice.

    Really doesn't need to be in shape to sit in the corner and shoot 3 balls.

    and this won a DPOY award over Bowen?

    I bet Bowen could step on the court right now and be in game shape from day 1.

    Then you shouldn't have treated Bowen like on Jefferson's behalf.

    Your regrets are your own.

    Bruce Bowen was a bad ass…Anyone coaching youth basketball would benefit by purchasing his DVD’s Spalding learn from the Pros… 7 ½ bucks on Amazon…

    You shouldn't really amnesty the only man with charizma on the Lakers imho. Plus he is genuinely funny at times. Why no love for the clown like yourself?

    Maybe not, but as the Lakers shutdown defender, coming into camp out of shape is not a good sign for Laker fans.

    Why amnesty Metta when you have Luke Walton sucking 6 million dollars off the team's cap this season?

    Because without Odom and because of the cir stances of his departure Artest could be a problem. You've skimmed the cream off of Artest.
