When did Ron Artest change his name to: World Peace?

I was looking at Lakers game last week casually while doing some bookwork (not watching the game in earnest) and I kept hearing the announcers calling Ron Artest, World Peace; so I thought he had done some big community work or was some kind of ambassador. biggrin But they kept on calling him that and finally I look up and saw that on the back of his jersey, World Peace. lol When did he change it and whats the reason for the change?

I think his full name is Meta World Peace, and I think he changed it not long after last year's season ended.

Peace is not the first word that comes to mind when I think "Ron Artest"

After his stunt in the stands...he ended up on the lakers....I think Phil Jackson had a large influence I'm him and helped very much in promoting him to go get help with those issues he was having...he got a psychiatrist and everything...therapist...medatation...all that good stuff....I thing he pretty well off in the issues he was having with a lack of .peace.
