It turns out Metta World Peace’s career-low scoring numbers have nothing to do with his poor shooting stroke. It turns out World Peace’s declining defense has nothing to do with his age (32) and decreasing lateral quickness. It turns out World Peace’s conditioning has nothing to do with arriving to training camp out of shape.

It has to do with one thing and one thing only.

“I got bored with defense because it was so easy for me to stop people over the years,” World Peace said after Thursday’s practice. “I just got bored with it.”
