Metta World Peace Sexually Assaulted
Well my oh my, add Metta World Peace to the list of NBA players who say they've had a spooky encounter at the Skirvin Hilton.
News about the encounter popped up after the Lakers loss Sunday night to the Thunder.
"The ghosts were all over me. I just accepted it," World Peace said, via The Orange County Register. "They touched me all over the place. I’m taking one of the ghosts to court for touching me in the wrong places."
People laughed when the Lakers player suggested this encounter was of amorous category - but truth be told, this is not out of line with previous reports.
Every few years these reports pop up. And talk to any NBA player who has visited the Skirvin Hilton Hotel and it's likely they've at least heard the tales that its rooms on the 10th floor might be haunted.
Some players with the Knicks claimed the ghost of “Effie” led to their loss against the Thunder in 2010. The legend was enough to prompt a visit by NBA on TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager to spend the night — one that resulted in an amusing report that re-aired during the recent Thunder playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs.
Some fellow Lakers players, aware of the ghost stories, chose to pay for rooms down the street at the Colcord rather than risk a weird evening with "Effie."
“I’m not going to play with that," Lakers guard Lou Williams said about the supposedly haunted hotel. "I’d rather pay for my peace of mind. If they say it’s haunted, that’s enough for me. I’m not going to roll the dice.”
Despite such notoriety, the hotel, which opened in 1911, remains a top destination for visiting NBA teams.
