Michael Smith OK, seriously, how about: Lorenzen Wright Samaki Walker Cuttino Mobley Mateen Cleaves Vonteego Cummings Felton Spencer Latrell Sprewell Cherokee Parks Lavor Postell Kenyon Martin Rahsard Lewis Raef LaFrentz DerMarr Johnson Othella Harrington Lucious Harris Anfernee Hardaway Darvin Ham Keyon Dooling ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Vonteego! Did you hear the history of his name on draft night a couple of years ago? His mother combined the names of 2 car makes she liked, Volkswagen and Montego, to get Vonteego. Whoa! ------------------ Time is a great teacher-- only problem is it kills all its pupils. www.FlashAdvantage.com
Hoop-T, I'd take the following off your list because they're not strange enough: Kenyon Martin Felton Spencer Lucious Harris Keyon Dooling ------------------ RealGM Rockets Draft Obligations Summary Gafford Art Artisan
OK, replace them with these: Chauncey Billups Bimbo Coles Adonal Foyle Trajan Langdon ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Bimbo Coles doesn't count, that's a nickname. Roshawn McCloud (sp?)

Since each and every person is so precious to themselves Let the self-respecting harm no other being. -from the Samyutta Nikaya
Well his real name is Vernell Coles, right? I think that constitutes a nomination. I already named Raef LaFrentz, and it's Voshon Lenard and Roshown McLeod. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Raef is "Fear" spelled Backwards , yeah why dont I just name my kid Parc , Ive heard of the name Kobe a few times , ------------------ Moe's Classic Signatures "Will Work for Clutch 101 Book"
I know of no Stromiles . .or even Shaquilles [esp not a man name Shaquille] I don't know any Pippens beyond snottie and know d*mn few Jordans [outside Barbara Jordan] I was telling a friend you need an unusual name [1st or last] to be famous [I'm excluding foreign names cause could be alot of Olajuwons in Nigeria] Rocket Rive Who else can we put here? ------------------
Joe Smith ------------------ When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view. -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox [This message has been edited by BobFinn* (edited February 06, 2001).]
And I assume that we are taking cultural differences into account (i.e. excluding foreign born players or those with names that have a signifigance in other countries). Juwan Howard DeShawn Stevenson LaPhonso Ellis Tyronn Lue Baron Davis (Baron is kind of a cool name, though) Donnyell Marshall Jason Williams ------------------ Who's better: Kelvin Cato or Joe Barry Caroll? Take your time!
I know this is a different sport, but my friends and I have always wondered where the name Keyshawn (Johnson) came from. ------------------ The whole world we travel with our thoughts, Finding nowhere anyone as precious as one's own self.

I have always found Tree Rollins very amusing. ------------------ "Steve is good. Steve is real good." -- Cleveland's rookie point guard Andre Miller on Rocket rookie point Steve Francis
Because of that draft night, the Warriors' PG rotation went from Muggsy and Bimbo to Mookie and Vonteego. ------------------
I prefer Gregor ****er over all of them. ------------------ "We need to fockass".....Dream back in the day
