Pivotal game four of the NBA Finals tips off Thursday night, with LeBron James and the Miami Heat looking to avoid a 3-1 deficit against Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs.
But the finals' MVP so far hasn't been James or Duncan. It hasn't been surprise hero Danny Green. And it hasn't been this ridiculous dunk block.
No, if the finals ended today, the MVP would have to go to Los Angeles Laker Metta World Peace -- or, to be more specific, World Peace's fascinatingly bizarre Twitter feed.
For context, World Peace is a pretty weird dude in general. He spent the first several years of his career as Ron Artest, then legally changed his name in 2011. In April, he tweeted this gross photo of fluid doctors drained from his knee.
World Peace has shown brighter than ever during this year's finals, however, thanks to Twitter. First, his analogies comparing the Spurs and Heat to different types of burger joints are simultaneously insightful and off-the-wall:
The Spurs should open a Burger Franchise because it will be the same burger Everytime. The Heat burger changes from game to game.— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) June 12, 2013
I think the Spurs burger is better than In N Out's. I think it is more consistent.— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) June 12, 2013
Btw: Miami brought the lettuce tonight! San Antonio went for the chicken club.Meaning: they looked confused— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) June 10, 2013

The bench players are the lettuce but they are important!! Cheese is for looks. Mike miller, ray, cole all brough it. 1st team all lettuce— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) June 10, 2013
Then there's the #popovichissosmart hashtag World Peace used to flex his comedy skills and pay homage to Spurs head coach Greg Popovich after San Antonio's game two win:

So if you're searching for a bit of insight into how the rest of this series will play out, friends, looks no further. Metta's got you covered:
