"Facebook brought a lot of joy to my face," World Peace, an 18-year veteran of the league who was a member of the 2010 NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers, told MarketWatch. "When I changed my name [from Ron Artest] in 2011, I was just getting into tech. Spiritually, meta means ultimate, and I guess it is the same in tech."
