Metta World seeks advice on making friends

It seems relatively easy for Metta World Peace to make friends.

He endears teammates with his goofy antics. Reporters crowd around the Lakers forward eager to hear what he’ll say next. But there’s also the insecure side of World Peace, who supports mental health issues by talking about his own struggles.

Hence, why it’s perfectly brilliant that World Peace consulted kid therapists in a video spoof on how he can make friends with his new teammates. Considering the Lakers had an air-it-out meeting last week that involved Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard constructively butting heads, all the advice World Peace received sure seems timely.
