Metta World Peace
http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/23/ron-artes ... akers-l-a/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 his 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.
Hey, give Peace a chance.

If I were Laker mgmt I'd tell him the only time he's able change his name to "World Peace" is when he activates his opt out clause.

Um, Ron is dead serious about this and YES I do believe the announcer's will say "Wooorld Peeeaaace" when he makes shots. This isn't a joke, Ron has always marched to his own drummer and good for him. Props Ron, do ya thang boy.
