He is 6 feet 7, No 15 and wears the Lakers, once participated in the infamous "Palace Brawl". Everyone now is doing to meet an acquaintance Puts Peace. Those on a first-name basis can call him Metta, while those a little farther removed can buy jerseys with his last name of World Peace stretched across the back. The most ballyhooed name change of the year became official Friday morning when a Los Angeles Superior Court judge commissioner approved Ron Artest's request to be called something else. According to World Peace's publicist, Courtney Barnes, the Lakers forward had been contemplating the switch for years but "it took years of research and soul-searching to find a first name that was both personally meaningful and inspirational." Metta is a Buddhist term that means loving kindness and friendliness toward others. Artest er, World Peace had hoped to adopt the new moniker last month but was rebuffed because of an outstanding traffic ticket. Paid ticket, the peace of the world can now be controlled. It can spread rapidly. Artest 8-year-old daughter, Diamond, said he would accept the name of a father again. World Peace had been scheduled to hear Friday, but his lawyer, Nahla Rajan, 9:50 announced she would not come. Commissioner Matthew C. St. George has approved the name change in a few minutes after the hearing, which lasted about 30 seconds. Ron Artest Is World Peace Metta
