Farewell Ron Artest, Hello Metta World Peace?

Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest wants to change his name.

He wants to be known as Metta World Peace, or World Peace Metta; one or the other. Either way, Thursday, his lawyer filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Yes, he’s for real. See the official documents HERE.

    Artest, 31, is due back in court for a name-change hearing on August 26, according to court records.

    The attorney who filed the proposal, Jill Rubin, said she was handling the change of Ronald William Artest Jr.’s name but had no additional information as to why Artest was doing so.
