Metta World Peace is far from done with basketball. The longtime NBA forward was named a player development coach for the South Bay Lakers - the purple and gold's G League squad - on Monday.
World Peace never officially retired as a player, logging 60 games with the rebuilding Los Angeles Lakers over the past two years. He played a total of 17 NBA seasons with six teams.
The South Bay Lakers are the rebranded Los Angeles D-Fenders.
