2010 NBA Champion | Mental Health Advocate | Emmy-Nominated "Quiet Storm" Documentary Subject
About
Metta World Peace won the 2010 NBA Championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, famously thanking his therapist after making the winning shot—years before athletes like Michael Phelps and Simone Biles brought mental health into mainstream sports conversation. Known for the Malice in the Palace incident as Ron Artest, he found redemption and earned the NBAs citizenship award for his advocacy work.
The Emmy-nominated Showtime documentary Quiet Storm profiles his journey, featuring Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom. Metta speaks on mental health, resilience, and personal transformation.
