Last week, Metta World Peace—formerly known as Ron Artest—revealed that he's planning on changing his name yet again this year. Because he's heading to China soon to play in the Chinese Basketball Association, he wants to change it to "The Pandas Friend." And it appears as though he's dead set on the idea.

For proof of that, look no further than this photo that was taken at the Venice Basketball League last night. It features World Peace wearing, well, just look:

Yup, that's him…in a panda costume. Would you expect anything less?

The CBA is in for one hell of a treat later this year.
