Lakers' Metta World Peace gets MVP chants at the Madison Square Garden

Metta World Peace got some love from his hometown crowd late in the Lakers-Knicks game Monday night. Fans at the Madison Square Garden got pretty excited with World Peace’s fadeaway jumper and MVP chants erupted. By the way, he hit the shot in front of Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, who was recently booed at the arena.

How's this for embarrassing? Madison Square Garden is now filled with "Metta" chants for Lakers forward and ex-Knick Metta World Peace.
