More than two decades removed from a turbulent tenure with the Bulls, Metta World Peace has perspective on where things went wrong and an enduring love for Chicago.

"We were losing, and I was also partying a lot," he said."I had a great time in Chicago, but I was not a professional in Chicago. I was on vacation for two-and-a-half years in Chicago."Although World Peace's years with the Bulls were some of the leanest in the organization's history, he established himself as a menace at the defensive end of the court,
