"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. TMZ.com"

That was actually creative though since his real middle initial was B and his real last name was Free, as well as his nickname being "All-World". To me this sounds like Ron is just seeking attention.

After every successful three point attempt he should run back shouting "PEACE OF CAKE...PEACE OF CAKE".
It's funny because the phrase 'piece of cake' usually signals that what has just been accomplished by whoever utters this phrase, has been a doddle. By exclaiming "PEACE OF CAKE...PEACE OF CAKE", he has the opportunity to not only taunt his opponents but also do it in a humorous manner because it also happens to be one of the words, admittedly spelled differently because it's used in an entirely different context, in the phrase 'piece of cake' but nevertheless comically on point.
See that? Yeah? How I just finished the closing sentence above by using a basketball terminology, yeah?...point-guard, innit? Because the word 'point' is associated a lot with Basketball and by using it I allowed myself to inject an element of comedy into proceedings. Seriously, if you're not getting any of this, I suggest you step up your game.
Game, yeah. Like the game of basketball. You're probably thinking "I never expected the above paragraph to end on a similar note', only to confound you yet again by closing on another basketball related word, which also happens to be the very definition of Basketball! Go to a dictionary and look for the definition of Basketball and you'll find it is closely followed by the word game! I dare you to prove me Rong.
Now, what I did there was to end the above paragraph by incorporating the very name of the player this thread concerns, but in a slightly unusual way, because nobody in the history of mankind has spelt 'wrong' without the double you, have they?!
