Metta World Peace aka The Panda's Friend is still amazing

The former defensive player of the year is still finding ways to stay relevant 10 years later. Ron Artest who changed his name to Metta World Peace in September of 2011 is currently playing overseas for the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball League and is in the process of changing his name to The Panda's Friend. While I first felt that this is nothing but a publicity stunt I can no longer say that for sure, and also no longer care because Metta World Peace is all in either way. He played basketball with a stuffed Panda attached to his shoe. Metta originally told the press that before each game he would take the heads off and throw them into the crowd and the lucky people who caught them would be named the Panda's Friends of the day, but playing in the shoes is much cooler.

To be fair I'd probably fall asleep more easily if I had 5 smiling dolphins above my bed too

Sleep tight Ron. Sleep tight.
