    Who had or has the most unique name of any player in NBA history?


    I will start with, perhaps the thread locker, "World B. Free."


    What are your suggestions?

    Not only was he in the NBA but some other NBA PG learned his game from Shammgod. When asked who taught him his dribbles he replied, "God". I forgot which player it was though. Someone on Washington I think.

    That sounds like a Starbury quote. Only he means THE God. :D

    I always thought Stromile Swift was a pretty unique name. And his parents were pretty much banking on him being a pro athlete, because I just can't picture someone named Stromile Swift being an accountant or something.....
