Best names in NBA history

[RRR3]

Kblaze saying Pooh Jeter was a HOF name got me thinking. List some of your favorites.


I think Frank Brickowski and Jay Scrubb (active player btw) are two of the most legendary names in NBA history, albeit for less than fortunate reasons :lol

[SouBeachTalents]

Someone needs to get Ho You Fat a 10 day. You think I’m kidding but I’m not. Real person. And a black guy not Asian like you’re thinking. Plays in Europe but came over once for a preseason game and the commentators were shook.

[HighFlyer23]

Yinka Dare
Wes Unseld
Boobie Gibson

Ho You Fat is actually his last name so they have to say all of it :lol

His first name is Steeve if anyone’s curious. Unfortunately he’s 35 so extremely unlikely we’ll ever see him in the NBA. But he could always have a son.

Considering that LeHung vs Steph was actually a staple of the NBA finals for half a decade, the fact there was a player named “JamesOn Curry” is deliciously amusing.

AR15 is arguably the best acronym nickname ever. And it won’t be used because of obvious social climate.

Great choice of number too.

MJ
Magic
Bird
Kobe
LeBron
Curry
Kyrie, even

These are iconic names.

How the hell are Michael Jordan and Steph Curry among the bet? Those names are boring af.

[WhiteKyrie]

Ak47

Agreed and it’s a foreign gun, but he wasn’t a shooter. More so a great defender.

easily tom googlie because I still can't spell that shit and it totally epitomizes him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Gugliotta

Edit @ best names, let's get it poppin again. YALL AIN'T GOT IMAGINATION? NO PORN STAR NAMES? I didn't see what people came up with, but I bet it was TRASH.

Smush Parker, too. lool. A best name, to me cuz how you get that nickname hahaha, doesn't just sound funny but it also has meaning. Kwame Brown because he became legendary, beyond basketball. He sold his soul for fame and that's what he got aaaiyeee. Nah, just joking at the last part.

Cherokee was def a lul one, too.


Diamond Stone

No, that's a your mother ****ed you for life shit.
