Metta World Peace still picking Jazz or Clippers for NBA championship
Metta World Peace isn't willing to go back on his 2016-17 NBA champion prediction, even if it has a zero percent chance of coming true.
During the first round of the playoffs, World Peace declared that the winner of the Utah Jazz-Los Angeles Clippers series - which the Jazz took in seven games - would eventually hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy.
He even offered to give away one of his jerseys to a random Twitter follower if that bold pick didn't come to fruition.
I think the winner of the @utahjazz vs @LAClippers will be the @nba champs.

What do you think?
Pick one champion this year.
Jazz π?

In the second round, the Jazz were thoroughly dissected by the offensive firepower of the Golden State Warriors, and were sent packing from the playoffs in a clean sweep.
Nonetheless, the 37-year-old is sticking to his guns, tweeting out Thursday that he still has either the Clippers or Jazz taking the title this year - an admirable level of commitment on his part.
I still have @utahjazz or @LAClippers winning the title. I can not go back on my word
