Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Metta World Peace
"I always wanted to play in Europe. I remember right before I signed with the LA Lakers, I was asking my agent I actually wanted to play in Greece. I always wanted to play in Europe, and that was like six years ago. I didn't want to come to Europe when I was 40. I am 35, and I am still young and I can still play so two months left, three months left in the season, so I get the chance to play in Europe and see if I want to continue to play here next year."

Q: When did you started talking with Cantu about this opportunity?
"Well we started like a week ago. I was looking at a couple of teams. This year I had a chance to play in NBA but then I decided to go to China because I wanted to play in different countries. Europe is going to be a great experience. I heard it's a great league and and I want to see how this experience will be just in case I want to play next year. I didn't want to start next year. So I get the chance to see if I want to come back again next year."

Q: What about your physical condition? The knee?
"Oh yeah, it's good. I injured it two years ago. I'll be able to play though. I'll be good."

"We're playing on Monday, yeah. We've got to get going right away, right away."
