welcome to larry king our special guest is metta world peace the fifty year n.t.a. veteran formerly known as ron our test a twenty ten n.b.a. champion twenty eleven recipient of the jay wally kennedy citizenship award as the n.b.a.'s highest citizenship and community service honor he hosts his own weekly radio show met his world on power one of the six he founded the nonprofit xcel university in two thousand and seven to help at risk youth further their education and as a strong advocate for mental health in that regard when he appeared on larry king live back in two thousand and ten we crashed his website raffling off the championship bring the roughly raised one hundred twenty thousand dollars bet day appearance had one point seven million page views you ever regret. in the ring away

no i don't i mean it's something you work for you all your career but you know i was like wow i can do something bigger and just watch it every day you know and i we raffled off and it just felt so good an album and people were bringing it brought seven hundred thousand dollars it was great yet you delivered one to my house yeah yeah you got to say yeah we had to make sure you got actually you desire the record you helped with the raffle i doubt i was a great on is right down on the piano. what does a better world peace mean the why do you choose that name it means. it's like the butterfly you know you see the caterpillar than a but if i blossomed and i'm still blossom and i'm still. in the context of you know my name was some people still see how i grew up and metta world peace also but then you also see somebody who's trying to evolve you know still making some of the same mistakes i made way back when not as many you know but at the same time. i just wanted to have

a new chapter in my life you played new york if you didn't have a good time with the next egypt i had a great zombie in front my new york fans about him play a lot so you know as a competitive player and we didn't make the playoffs so at that time i was just like i was miserable with. the fact that i wasn't playing we were losing games and it just wasn't i will not play in it did you talk to mike woodson the say why and what do you do as a player when they're not put in i just accept it like i'm not playing i don't like to question my coach so obviously i want to play i try to do what i can do in practice i push my teammates but i like to go to my coach and say hey you know i want to play more you have a wonder why you didn't play. i did add a lot of reasons and i think some reason why them play but at the same time i just don't want to get in a way of a coach like i believe let

a coach coach ok now you are free agent your fifteen year veteran yes the want to play absolutely ok you're free to sign with anyone yeah you got phil jackson g.m. in new york president of the team derek fisher is now with the next he's the coach when i go back. i don't know you i don't know at think as last year people think i'm still hurt which is not heard not now i got her a year ago year and a half ago just like anybody else of anybody else and her year and half going to hill two years i'm healthy and then people think i can play anymore so my agent he's got a lot of questions where he's going to these other teams so i tell me don't worry about it you know we'll go somewhere we'll play a maze and then teams just moves out will you talk to phil and mr fisher well this is a thing where we talked we let teams know we're ready to play and now it's up to the

these teams to say ok you know we want met on it seem easy you want metal you don't and you know we have our go on be amazing is there a place you'd prefer to go yeah it is but i gets me in trouble. sometimes a place to happen first to go you know and you think you have a shot to go to that place then they turn around and they don't call and then you lose out on all the other team but with phil and derek having been with them you could call them could you directly you could call them i mean maybe you never know sometimes you know they're busy right now trying to turn around a franchise in new york city how do you think you'll do they'll do i think they don't do amazing because the system is perfect you know for people who want to play basketball players who want to win and i just got a coach and also the girls' basketball team and i will say as i school yeah coaching it like that i'm not retired and this coaching people think that coach i'm retired i'm not retired just coaching you like coaching love would you like to

coach professional absolutely you would take an assistant job and work up all right now i'm coaching the girls. and then i'm coaching boys a youth team sixteen and under i'm coaching men's and i'm and i'm training kids also training college players so it is across the spectrum so it doesn't matter i don't matter where i coach at i just want to coach do you ever regret leaving st john's after only one year i do i do regret it shares they did because what happened was when i went to st john's i was major in architecture i always wanted to build community centers. and then i can turn over my project to have practice a six am and then i had to turn my project in the morning so i was tired i was unable to practice i had to drop that measure that i made in our same problem had a drought that major that i majored in math and i wish i could do it over because i want to major and like in economics and you know business things that i've learned

you know later on in my career you recently said that this should be one silenced a week yes sport or sports what do you mean where you mean i think people criticize too much talk too much and every day been baseball season football season basketball season some might even criticize my smiled and talked about it should be a day or silence where nobody says anything let the players hit the baseball anyone any interest today like tomar no baseball player would speak no no media was speak for the media. they speak there to get there no i haven't a sports talk radio for one day no criticize and got to talk about love you known as kind of quirky right you know that you are your images where you pay to do you care what people say about you. i care about the image that i put out there and sometimes as i transform i do things i shouldn't have a gun national said that sometimes i say things because i feel it needs to be said

. other people will say why did you say those things you ever regret it some things i do regret some things i do regret some things i don't but it's not society's not able to accept some of the things i say your favorite player was dennis rodman the great defensive who is one of the i know down in the world's weird guy he is very weird is he still your favorite he's my favorite why he's a my fave is that i was a kid i always wanted to play like him because of the fence because his defense has hustle rebounding rebounding not necessarily rebound i like his hustle and i was never rebound i was more of a stills guy but i just think he the way played a game was so much passion and when you look when you look at his back story no father you know i want to think he grew up with his mother and he's raising children grew up the same way you know my parents separated and i'm raising children at the age of sixteen and as i well i can relate to that looking back ten

years ago we had the malice at the palace the credible night ten years ago november nineteenth twenty thousand for. at the palace in auburn hills you read it for the benefit of those who may not know you ran into this then what happened that you were on the pacers that night. i was still going through a lot at that time and i read your first year that was my second you had to put the faces and i had been with all the world struggles and i was going through some therapy sessions and i was working on my anger management problems so when i got to the other case someone been lalas i made a i merely said ok practice you know what you was being taught in your sessions so i want to lay on the scorer's table and i don't expect some i to throw something hit me in the face and to this day you know i asked general i understand why people sass started something when i totally didn't start it you know i didn't have been wallace first. and i didn't throw something at myself. now i didn't want into the

stands that's something as a fact and i think people should just stick to the facts when they bring up the story and start you know making up stories because i didn't start them out of the palace and i always will sort of i thought it was under you flew off the handle but you know it is a hell of there is a full of like three four handles that and is it true that you become friends with john green then who incited it how did you work that out to have a friendship with him all i had was at the debris at the brawl have been. and i was getting so much backlash from the media and people not just telling other people stories and not being creative and telling the right story i just tell everybody like hating me and you know so i had something out towards everybody and then a year later i kept seeing my psychologist and she was like you know i think you might want to you know facial fairs and things like that so i decided to reach out to john green and we started to talk and it took

a lot of weight off my shoulders you know. so given those who misty and still keep in touch you know that's a great thing yes a great i think is a something i want to talk about some current things in the n.b.a. le bron going back to cleveland yeah good idea i think it's a great because he's home and i will go home to i want to own a new york life hadn't worked out i wanted to but it's always good to go home and as it is suffering right now too so maybe you can bring some things in the city other people can you have a famous block on lebron james and maybe once a version if he's a pretty tough player. donald sterling will you make it ethical situation away. i think you know. i guess i once again i say things get me in trouble i always thought you'd get in trouble in its own right but i thought that people i thought that his privacy was you know compromising i still believe that because i'm

a celebrity and i hate when people take pictures and take video and i'm not watching on the plane i'm sleeping in my snap and that is a mouth is open to something like that and they post it you know and i think that's unfair. yeah be hurt by what he said oh no i was hurt but it's not nothing i was surprised about you know i wasn't surprised that he said those things and. i understand people understand how anybody was raised in people's raised differently to this day people still being raised in races households some people have been raised in black black activists household extremist you know all type of extremist all over the world and different religions and where you understand is that ok immediately most money says something you've got to say ok why did they say it's over you the n.b.a. maybe you wouldn't have taken the team away. if i was him if i was the commissioner no or something like that. i just thought he needed he needed to do some major

damage control and he needed to. you know understand he was wrong for what he said and i think he did apologize. maybe taking the team away was right but i don't think that was my decision but everybody thought that everybody had different views on this you know you know if you don't like privacy invaded no definitely not will kobe be coby coach is going to be amazing what so i like him a great deal he's really amazing what's he like as a teammate what's he like as a person i spoke to cody and he said he's going to carry the team and i just can't wait to see him play i can't wait to see how we going to carry the team he's going to carry the team and i believe him. i believe him but he's got a he doesn't have much of what he doesn't meaning he never needed anybody. called his like he could do everything himself the same as before but don't you want to win his lunch oh absolutely i want to win just as much as you want to and you can't shoot like him i can see he's pretty he's pretty amazing. so the lakers can come

back you think i think the legacy because they got boozer he got a nice pick they are colby yeah len i like jeremy lin a lot i do too you know they're not going to have but i like them he said i think it's a good point that i really don't point to god when we come back metta world peace the advocate right after this. your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't. call it different. your boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tense tear jerking poetry keep count nora's. we post only what really matters i don't see your facebook news feed. the a supply problem is terrible they come up very

hard to make out a letter to get along here is a plot that never had sex with the target there's no lens lets a little blood. tests. lists the i'm . melissa block. we're back with better world peace what made you come out about mental i mean a lot of people who have had the problems or anger management might write decide

not to talk about why did you decide to talk about why i decided to talk about it because i realize that i'm not the only one issues i realize that as a lot of kids have the same issues that i had and they get in trouble and i visit prisons a lot of his of his adolescence in the san quentin have a class that i teach us in clinton have a class that i teach orange county prison here in the california and i mean it's like about going to the prisons and and teaching people how to deal with their anger when you get psycho but i don't know i don't know i go to prisons and i just try to help out you know people that's in there that when they get out you know they'll be able to be rehabilitated and things like that but when i see the issues i'm not you know i want to do something about it you know and i want to get more prisons and i want to i want to help kids that's going to have anger management issues mental health issues can't control themselves a home of this on himself that there are

a few hundred feet to his more fulfilling i guess that's the same thing you know it used to be therapeutic but now that i'm able to control myself will be more understand what's going on you know is more fulfilling and now is i really have to do something you still get angry. not as much as i used to i get annoyed more now. yeah and in two thousand and seven he started a nonprofit xcel university which works with high risk youth on education advocacy for mental health issue that you still very involved a website where you are do we get in touch with xcel university dot com. x x c e o x e e l university you can definitely donate there if you want we've been trying to set up things where we don't always have to ask you to donate so we try to do other events but if you do have all of the news right now we do raffle the raffle of the rain raise some money i'm only championship vary but we're

going to stay an active because sometimes you know we stay active with our message you know more than money because when you raise money from raffling you testified before congress yes here in public service announcements what about the heroes in the recovery race that's going to be great you know we are in it with a lot of great organizations transcend it's the great i mean realization home for a lot of you and we're going new york city you know hopefully raise the money again and you know this issue is this is so big and widespread so sometimes you raise five hundred thousand dollars of you raise mean dollars that's not enough but you send a good message that's the main thing we can take it's a message to give people when the problems you face is aside he still doesn't look at mental illness as it looks at a kid meal. and you know. it's pretty much the same thing you know in his research and needs funding. we need we need to take care of our future you know.

and even education i guess we're behind in the world of technology and we're going small in all these other countries is going to begin to technology and are going to be somewhat dependent and so i think mental health is at the foundation of the core you look at your childhood as the reason for your anger at what is your doctor say you know at the anger management counseling i had marriage counseling parents in counseling. and i want to become better parent or things like that but absolutely my child was the reason when you grow up in a violent household when you grow up in a violent community that can affect you right there and then when you don't address those issues early you become who you are you know and if you never address those issues and it is just live what you why didn't they ask you since she was so good at that why didn't that help one would think you had but that was a way out so one would think why couldn't basketball right have helped you in all

the other areas you can because you know best of all can speak to you you know it's fun but it can help you personally you know i can't change you now you can for that period of time you know off the court your mind is only focused on basketball but if you bring something from home on a basketball court then you have issues then you bring something from the basketball court then you bring it back home you know and nothing's been addressed on the court are you do you take that anger the hard tack the great jockey right he took his anger to the race right so he was he would be mad at his opponent and use that right to win races i don't agree with that me personally i don't agree that i can play angry you know i like to play control so most of the time when i'm going to court. i've been working on plane you know focused so how can i give the same amount of effort the same maximum effort the same amount of intensity how can it be controlled you know how can you be like that and tim duncan and the spurs

are perfect examples of that if they played just as hard as the miami heat you know but they when they don't show bo but they win they don't show too much emotion but they win and that's how that's how i should play the game is duncan and so when you admire great absolutely i admired duncan since two thousand and five when i came from indiana i got traded to sacramento and i was still in transition i was just seen therapist and i watched him dunking and i'm like wow you know i want to play the game just like that and i would try actually to play the game relax and calm as not sometimes my coaches misstatement are you in the game are you in a game and i have a model tone sort of face you know a look at my face and again focus you know i'm ready got them play are you know is no need to be in that excited right now why do you think it's hard for some players great player kevin love why is it hard for them to improve defensively why is defense hard for good players the defense he doesn't think is going to bring out a. and

a lot of general manages some coaches and fans they don't understand how important effort is in life effort is important and when you want to call it you get a guy like tony allen you get a guy like a while and he average seventeen points about saying well tell you a month ago or a year ago seventeen points we'll get in b.p. and be a finalist you're look at me and laugh but the effort behind that was the reason why i want to finals was the reason why they want to championship is defense effort differences effort and it's very it's just as important as often some people don't really understand and you can teach it oh ak and i can teach it i don't know how many of his we have some social media questions yes mickie hearts on twitter if you could with a championship for any city what city would be you can't give that away right because that would tell her you'd like honestly if i can win that it's two teams i want to win the championship for k. number one will be indiana good owner great owner

a team that. kind of sparked my career larry bird and donnie walsh they help me out a lot and the second would be detroit because because of the brawl and i just over an amazing story that i want to championship in the trade to give that city to dine fifty five was the weirdest most interesting teammate you have a play with the weirdest most interesting team i guess of the run assess he was pretty we had guy. at bill good g seven twenty nine would you become an n.b.a. coach oh definitely i think i'm going to be a coach one day. hopefully you know. if i apply to be a job the owners can see past you know metta world peace and you know technicals. have got to live at j.d. hirsch will phil jackson eventually coach the next. well now that he got derek

fisher no i thought if he brought in another coach he would definitely close next but he has to make in may who would a dream team of n.b.a. players consist of if you were able to make your own team dream team ask the rabbits and. larry bird to kill an el michael jordan and tim duncan le bron yes. i mean yeah game of if you only new member the first girl you have a kissed. i do always or name i name is commission and we was in in queens it was in queens oh wait i was fifteen years ago if i know what happened to her yeah we got three kids together. first girl you kids there wow you took that far yeah. toughest player to defend toughest player to defend for me i was a colby because he has every move people get mad because they say there is better

le bron's better but colby is absolutely amazing best all around team mate yeah i mean really yeah and that's going to head a shame baddie and going to derek fisher which is a hard thing to do was special about yummy yummy. superstar one of the biggest superstars ever in the n.b.a. probably the biggest and the most humble is guy i've ever met like this so down to earth never seen him a security guy. have been his little truck now escalate i don't even know the name of the truck that he had had the tons of money that everything the team did great hero in track this heroin china he's an amazing guy funniest team mate funniest team mate. probably would be the ma was pretty funny molo mia he was a clown dance a lot biggest trash talker on the court paul paris is the latest still still to
