Ron Artest officially changed his name to Metta World Peace today.
His name change mirrors the personal change he's undergone in the last decade.
Today, he's a fun-loving, harmless wacko who's set to embarrass himself on Dancing With The Stars.
But he was once a destruction thug who started one of the ugliest brawls in NBA history.
Artest grew up in Queensbridge, New York City. When he was 12, he witnessed a player get murdered at a pickup game after another man broke off the leg of a table and stabbed him with it
