Metta World Peace Is Officially On The Los Angeles Lakers
World Peace has finally arrived in the NBA.
At first glance it may not seem as if the artist formerly known as Ron Artest has his new name listed alphabetically on the Lakers official team roster, but he does. Peace is not his last name, WORLD PEACE is. That's why the Lakers don't have him slotted after Lamar Odom, nor is he any longer at the top above Matt Barnes. He...
