View Full Version : Lakers' Ron Artest set to change his name to Metta World Peace
http://www.cnn.com/2011/SPORT/09/16/ron.artest.name.change/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
(CNN) -- This may be the last time Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest will answer to that name.
The NBA star, who is known for his defense and unpredictable behavior, will now be known by a different name.
On Friday, the basketball player formerly known as Ron Artest will officially become Metta World Peace, his publicist says.
"Metta is his official first name; which in the Buddhist tradition means loving-kindness and friendliness toward others and his last name is World Peace," his publicist said.
The basketball star is scheduled to be at the Los Angeles County Superior Court at 8:30 a.m. (11:30 a.m. ET) where he will officially become Mr. World Peace.

You're as old as this news.
Just because he settled his traffic tickets doesn't mean it's already newsworthy.

This news is old as fuck, but still that dumbass should be working on his jumper and handle instead of doing shit like this. Laker Fan seriously can't prefer this guy over Trevor Ariza.

Can World Peace still be a Tru Warier, or is that a conflict of interest?

I think the reason this was posted is he's "OFFICIALLY" changed it now.
First Ochocinco, now this. Just save us all the trouble and change it to "Stupid ######" instead.

Well after the debacle of last seasons playoffs I took leave. Been working mostly since. Also since there might not be an NBA season I just figured I'd sit on the sidelines and see what was happening here..which I've noticed not much has changed....but I wouldn't want it any other way :lol:toast
World Peace, one seriously fucked up individual.
