Metta World Peace Calls Nick Young Altercation A ‘Dance Off’

Metta World Peace
As the player at the center of the biggest brawl in NBA history, The Malice At The Palace, former Laker Metta World Peace knows a thing or two about fights in the NBA.

Recently, Nick Young got into an altercation while facing the Phoenix Suns. Young threw a punch in the altercation and was suspended for his actions. Although things clearly got out of hand in Phoenix, World Peace thinks it was nothing more than a “dance off” and broke down the fight through a series of hilarious tweets in classic Metta fashion:

Nick just wanted to dance but Yen Zen didnt understand his English .Look at Nicks face. " wait, lets dance" pic.twitter.com/UD7OMBr3bA

After breaking down the fight in hilarious fashion, World Peace takes a shot at the media for blowing everything out of proportion:

This was a dance off and all you media guys and girls blew it out of proportion.

Although Young would likely beg to differ with World Peace’s point of view, this breakdown of the “dance off” was entertaining to say the least and makes Lakers fans miss the never ending antics of the veteran forward.
