The always eccentric ex-NBA star Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest) was presented by new Italian side Pallacanestro Cantu and celebrated the occasion by explaining why he is like a panda.

World Peace had been playing for the Sichuan Blue Whales in China and previously turned out for the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets, LA Lakers and New York Knicks in a distinguished NBA career.
