The Chinese Basketball Association's preseason has begun, which means Metta World Peace has made his Sichuan Blue Whales debut. So have his new shoes, which feature a detachable panda head.

It's wonderful that "The Panda's Friend" is crediting the shoes for his performance. It's also hilarious that he's playing with the panda head attached. He had previously said that he would remove it before each game, throw it into the crowd, and the lucky fan who caught it would have the honor of being recognized as the Panda's Friend of the day.
You can buy these things, by the way.
