While Tim Tebow may not have garnered enough support from NFL owners and general managers to take a chance on the free agent quarterback, he does have one supporter in New York Knicks forward Metta World Peace, who said recently that he loves Tebow.
In an interview with the New York Post, World Peace shared his insight on various topics while revealing that he thinks Paul Pierce of the Nets is the best trash talker in the game, that the New York Jets are his favorite football team and the "best team in the world," and of course, that he loves Tebow.
"Tebow, he don't lose, he wins," World Peace told the New York Post. "Name one time he lost. I don't understand this stuff. He didn't play. He wins games. What more could you ask for?"
World Peace discussed Tebow a year ago as well:
Tebow played with the Jets--World Peace's favorite team--during the 2012 season, but was used sparingly before he was released in the offseason. Tebow only threw the ball eight times for the Jets last year, completing six passes for 39 yards and no touchdowns while he rushed just 32 times for 102 yards without reaching the end zone.
While the Jets aren't even No.1 in the NFL, they are a solid 3-2 on the year after Monday Night's victory over the Atlanta Falcons (1-4), but World Peace would argue they're the best in the world.
"I love the Jets," World Peace told the paper. "No. 1 team ... in the world."
While World Peace didn't' agree with the Jets releasing Tebow, but he was eventually scooped up by their division rival New England Patriots and then subsequently released during this year's preseason. Tebow hasn't been able to land an NFL job since, but he has told reporters in the past that he refuses to give up on his dream of being a professional quarterback at the NFL level.
Tebow turned down many outside endeavors including a Russian football team that would have paid him $1 million to appear in two games, as he's hopeful he'll have another opportunity to play in the NFL again after being a college standout and having a solid campaign with the Denver Broncos in 2011.
While World Peace says that Tebow has never lost, he is in fact 8-6 as a starter. Rumors circulated that perhaps the Jacksonville Jaguars would be a nice landing spot for Tebow's NFL career to continue, but the Jacksonville brass has yet to budge despite moderate fan outcry demanding for Tebow.
World Peace and the Knicks are set to tip off their preseason Wednesday against the Celtics and the regular season begins against the Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden Oct. 30.
Though Tebow has yet to land a new NFL team, he has at least one supporter in the basketball realm.
