If there's one thing NBA All-Star Metta World Peace is known for, it's controversy. From his half-nude appearance on Jimmy Kimmel to his move to China to play for the Sichuan Blue Whales, there's no denying the Lakers forward has had his fair share of bad press and head-scratching decisions. But what if all these choices were actually dictated by a formerly blind 10-year-old? What if World Peace's controversy was all an attempt to please the whims of a diabolical fan?
Go90's new show, The 5th Quarter, produced by OBB Pictures, reexamines the career of World Peace, spoofing on the classic Babe Ruth story about how the baseball legend promised a sick kid by the name of Johnny Sylvester a homerun in the next game.
Featuring World Peace as himself, the "mockumentary" seeks to answer the reasoning behind his name change, his move to Italy, and every other absurd question you've ever had about the player formerly known as Ron Artest. As with every episode, there's no lacking in cameos. Denver Nuggets Gary Harris, and Chandler Parsons of the Memphis Grizzlies guest star alongside Jason Sklar and Eileen O'Connell in this go90 original.
