Basketball: Best Names Part 2
After reading last week's
Top 30 Names in Basketball, readers were encouraged
to send in other funny names that I might have missed. The response
was great, and there were definitely some worthy additions to the list.
Many of the names were suggested by multiple people, so sorry for not giving
credit to the individual's who made the suggestions. Some of these
will most likely be added onto a reworked Top 30 list, but for now they are
listed below in alphabetical order without commentary.
Jahsha Bluntt - Delaware State
Caheem Broadus - Delaware State
Chudi Chinweze - TCU
Dionte Christmas - Temple, Keith Christmas - MTSU
Bam Doyne - Ole Miss
Dusty Driggs - New Orleans
Gerald Fonzie - SFA
Pee-Wee Gash - Tennessee
Julian & Mickell Gladness - Alabama A&M
Matt Haryasz - Stanford
Idong Ibok - Michigan State
Marco Killingsworth - Indiana
Derwin Kitchen - Florida
Longar Longar - Oklahoma
Jon Lucky - URI
Mani Messy - Seton Hall
Slim Millien - Idaho State
John Moonshower - Army
Jihad Muhammad - Cincinnati
Kyle Neptune - Lehigh
Thansai Panagiotakopoulos - Northern Colorado
Gyno Pomare - San Diego
Kevin Pittsnogle - West Virginia
Donatas Rackauskas - SMU
Magnum Rolle - LSU
Jermaine Shakespeare - Alabama A&M
Sandford Speech - Mississippi Valley St
Dazzmon Thornton - TexasTech
Lamar Twitty - Florida A&M
Guillame Yango - Pacific
Also, it is worth noting that the real first name of
Chief Kickingstallionsworth, #1 in last week's Top 30
Best Names, is Grlenntys. I think having a first name which starts with
the ever-popular Grl combination merely cements his place atop the list.
Thanks to everyone who sent in their suggestions. Of this
list, my personal favorites are Chudi Chinweze, Gyno Pomare, and Idong Ibok.
