Say goodbye to Ron Artest and HELLOOOO to Metta World Peace … Mr. Metta World Peace to you.
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.
