Athletes are notorious for changing their names throughout their careers, some of which have done it more than once! Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace during his NBA career followed by changing it again to Panda’s Friend while he has been playing basketball overseas. The most common reason for a name change in sports history has been for religious reasons, for example, Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali.
