As 60 players begin their NBA careers tonight we have news from one of the most bizarre players in the league.
If you thought Chad Johnson changing his name to Chad OchoCinco was odd, wait until you hear this.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest is trying to change his legal name to Metta World Peace.
Artest’s attorney filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday seeking the change. The 31-year-old NBA star was born Ronald William Artest Jr.
In the court documents, Artest cites personal reasons for wanting to make the change.
An Aug. 26 court date was set to consider the petition.
