Oklahoma City’s Skirvin Hotel is known to be haunted, some players are so scared they won’t even stay there. According to the legend, sometime in the 1930s, a woman who was holding her baby in her hands committed suicide when she jumped out of a window, thus casting a spell on the building. The Lakers rolled into town Halloween weekend, and leave it up to quirky Metta World Peace to add the most interesting story to the hotel.
via the OC Register:
“The ghosts were all over me. I just accepted it,” Lakers forward Metta World Peace said. “They touched me all over the place. I’m taking one of the ghosts to court for touching me in the wrong places.”
World Peace insisted he was serious before explaining why he did not stay somewhere else.
“I was watching a good movie and I was tired,” said World Peace, who incidentally said he saw “Money Monster.” “I didn’t want to move.”
Lakers guard Lou Williams and forward Larry Nance Jr. refused to stay. They paid for their own rooms at the nearby Colcord Hotel. That all sounded absurd to Lakers rookie center Ivica Zubac. But when he arrived at his hotel room early Saturday morning feeling chills, Zubac soon left for the Colcord Hotel.
