The only thing better than Metta World Peace adopting the name “The Panda’s Friend” while he’s playing basketball for the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association is that he’s got new kicks to go with it. And they are spot-on.
Metta World Peace explains that the panda bear is not detachable.

The bear is not detachable. The Teddy bear is a permanent and is the pandas friend! The ears on the side are also not detachable. Enjoy

When the former NBA star takes the court for the Sichuan Blue Whales, he will wear shoes with detachable pandas on them. Seriously.
