Ron Artest is legally changing his name to Metta World Peace
According to TMZ, Ron Artest of the Los Angeles Lakers will legally change his name to Metta World Peace.
Here’s what the report said:
Yes, Ron is going the way of Cassius Clay, Lew Alcindor and Chad Johnson. Ron’s filed a petition in L.A. County Superior Court to change his name to — World Peace.
FYI, metta means loving, kindness, happiness and all that jazz.
We’re told Ron wants to put the new last name — Peace — on the back of his L.A. Lakers’ jersey.
These name changes are typically granted by a judge unless it would result in confusion or fraud.Interesting. Does this mean that Ron - I mean World Peace - will now throw flower petals into the air from the scorers table before tip-off?
