Ron Artest changes name to better the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
A court commissioner granted the Lakers forward's request to officially change his name to Metta World Peace on Friday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], three weeks after the bid was blocked because Artest had unpaid traffic tickets.
Artest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 31,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], did not attend a brief hearing Friday.
"Changing my name was meant to inspire and bring youth together all around the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," World Peace said in a statement released after the hearing. "After this short delay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my tickets have been paid and I'm glad that it is now official."
He requested the change in June,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], citing only personal reasons. He is scheduled to appear on the next season of "Dancing With the Stars."
Barnes wrote in an email that World Peace will now have to get a new driver's license to reflect his new name,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the switch won't affect his contracts with the Lakers or any endorsement deals.
Artest helped the Lakers win an NBA title in 2010 and in April he received an award for outstanding service and dedication to the community,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He has testified before Congress to support mental health legislation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Artest isn't the first athlete to adopt an unusual name,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Lloyd Bernard Free,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a professional basketball player who played in the league from 1975-88,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had his first name legally changed to World in 1981. A friend had given him the nickname because of his 44-inch vertical leaps and 360-degree dunks.
In the NFL,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wide receiver Chad Johnson legally changed his last name to Ochocinco in August 2008 to reflect his jersey number. The name means "eight five" in Spanish. Ochocinco is now with the New England Patriots.
