Jesus is inviting these men to follow him and learn from him. They will become his apostles and will teach future generations about Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God. Most everyone Jesus asks to follow him seem to know instantly that this a man to be trusted and that can teach them great things.

While there are infinite interpretations, becoming ‘fishers of men’ may also indicate that they will help Jesus “catch” more followers.

Metta recalls another example of his rough background, getting punished harshly by his father when he misbehaved

Metta looks back as an adult and believes that this tough love was beneficial to him, keeping him in check and in the end making him a better man

Metta’s passionate, intense nature is obvious to fans and to other players as well. Some players are intimidated by him or even fear him, but his teammates really respect him

Metta is sick of being asked so many questions all the time; he is ready to ask some of his own now

Metta feels that he has to make music like this to vent about his innermost thoughts and feelings. Those thoughts can be damaging or cause him to act angrily, but he has discovered how to get his pain out other ways.

He calls music the antidote for the disease he has been infected with, his passion.

Metta is one of the most passionate players to ever grace the NBA, but he has gotten into trouble for it. When confronted about hitting James Harden with an elbow to the head during an in-game celebration, according to the New York Times Metta said:

During that possession there was so much passion. A lot of people get mistaken when they hear Metta World Peace’s name. When I’m out there on that court, that passion is bottled up.

Metta also released a mixtape called Metta World Passion in May 2012.

Metta leads a double life as a basketball player and a rapper, much like superheroes have dual identities. I guess Metta has three lives then if you include superhero..

Metta follows what he feels, but he has come under fire, especially on the Internet where he is often called out for his antics. He has been called despicable for a number of rather public incidents in which he has lost his temper and gotten violent both on and off the court.

Metta been inspired to seek help and learn to control his anger. While he has never revealed whether he is diagnosed with any specific disorder, Metta thanked his psychiatrist after winning the NBA Championship with the Lakers.
