Metta World Peace gets the start Tuesday night for the Los Angeles Lakers since Byron Scott has decided to give Kobe Bryant rest. Before the game, Time Warner interviewed Nick Young, who stifled laughter while telling an anecdote about World Peace’s toughness.

Young says Los Angeles Lakers rookie Larry Nance Jr. lost his contact during a game one time, and rather than helping Nance find it, World Peace told him, “F that eye!”

World Peace didn’t fight for a spot on the Lakers roster just to be there to baby the rookies. He’s here to tell them to battle through adversity, even if that involves playing with blurry vision.
