Metta World Peace claims he is an alien

We knew it.

We can't find the tweets, but we must have said it at some point, and now there is sweet, sweet validation.

Metta World Peace is so awesome, so funny, so crazy...because he is not human.

Or so he said on Friday, when asked about James Dolan's message to the New York Knicks "players" in a recent meeting:

"I'm not a player, I'm an alien. I wasn't actually there. I was in another galaxy with my galactic friends." 
...
"My focus is on winning championships. I don’t focus on anything else. Aliens only want to win championships. That’s it. Injuries is not a focus. Trade talk is not a focus. Nothing is a focus. Gluten-free pasta is not a focus, which I would rather have gluten-free pasta. Hey, if I have to have regular pasta. ... It is what it is. I’m still going to try to win a championship. Nothing will distract me from my focus, my galactic mind."

This is hardly surprising, and the only shocker is that it took 15 seasons for this information to be confirmed by the former Ron Artest himself.

We can't wait to hear more details on Metta's adventures with his "galactic friends." Hopefully AMC or HBO buy the rights to the series and make it a gritty comedy-drama.
