So most sports fans know how (cough) eccentric Ron Artest (or Metta World Peace) can be. He had a major role in the Malice at the Palace where he ran up into the stands and fought with fans. He came out with a rap album titled My World, which you can buy today for $7.99 on Amazon. He changed his name to Metta World Peace. It seems like he’s going to make the whole name change thing his thing. World Peace is headed to China to play ball, and of course, decided that this called for a name change. It’s officially going to be (drumroll, please) “The Panda’s Friend“.
Guys my chinese name is not “Panda Friend” , its “The Pandas Friend”.

Impressive, right? I thought so too.
So I tried to think of what his future name changes might be when he makes his world basketball tour and plays in different countries every few months. Here’s a few of them.
Indonesia – National animal: Komodo Dragon
Afghanistan/Pakistan/Kazakhstan – National Animal: Snow Leopard
India – National Animal: King Cobra
Greece – National Animal: Dolphin
Tanzania – National Animal; Giraffe
Brazil – National Animal: Macaw
