Favourite NBA Names

[aaronm46]

Yes the NBA has some rather interesting names. some funny, some plain stupid.

My fav though is definately Derrick Rose. sounds so smooth and cool

What are your favourite names in the NBA past and present?

 

[Rowie09]

Its gotta be Speedy Claxton or Smush Parker.

Bonzi Wells rates a mention.

As does Zaza Pachulia.

 

[StickWithEars]

Past: Clyde Drexler. That is one slick name. Up there with Max Power and Trent Steel
Present: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. Yeah, I know it's exotic, but it craps over "LeBron" or "LaMarcus" and some of the ghetto names spewed up in the league, even though said LeBron generates the GDP of a small country. Af-Am equivalent to "adding the y"

pr0n name: Kevin Love - no contest.

Have you ever noticed there are around 12 players in the NBA whose NBA first name is made up of initials.

All 12 use the letter J.
