The basketball player formerly known as Ron Artest threw everyone for a loop when he changed his name to Metta World Peace. Now that he’s playing for the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association this season, he’s looking to change it again.

To honor his move to China’s southwestern province, the former Ron Artest, who goes by Ci Siping in China (the literal translation of Metta World Peace), is hoping to change his name to something that reflects the culture of his temporary home.
According to China’s English-language newspaper China Daily, World Peace will go with “Panda Friend,” to honor the most famous animal of the Sichuan province.
