I’ve always wondered if a stipulation of having money is that you have to become your absolute weirdest. When the name change from Ron Artest to Metta World Peace came about, there wasn’t much of anything that anyone could say. It’s been years with the name Metta, and I’ve actually gotten used to it.
However, with the impending move to Chinese basketball, Metta World Peace has announced that he will be changing his name again.
New Chinese name coming soon. You guys are going to love it!!!!

The new is reportedly going to be Panda Friend, but of course no one can confirm this until Metta actually does the name change. If Metta does indeed adopt the name Panda Friend, it’s actually very fitting.
