NBA Star Wants To Change His Name
Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest wants to change his name to Metta World Peace.
Metta is a Buddhist concept encompassing friendship, goodwill and kindness.
Artest's attorney filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 23, 2011 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.
Artest's career has been filled with ups and downs. He helped the Lakers win the NBA championship a year ago and in April he received an award for outstanding service and dedication to the community.
He has testified before Congress to support mental health legislation.
Artest may be best known for triggering the most notorious brawl in NBA history when he jumped into the stands and attacked a fan while playing for the Indiana Pacers in November 2004. He was suspended for the rest of that season
