Ok It took me 3 minutes to get which Jason Williams you were talking about . Solution J Williams (W) J Williams (B) And what happens if the Knicks sign Marc Jackson? The Radio announcers will have fits .
My brother was a clerk on the Supreme Court several years ago. One of the anecdotes he related was that Justice Harry Blackmun had a clerk whose name was also Harry ... the other clerks identified them by referring to the latter as "smart Harry."
Well, that'd work in theory...except that one plays like he's the other all the time. How about listing them as JDub and JWill - something that'd probably work a bit better.
I can hear it on the radio now: Williams(Jayson) grabs the rebound , turns & throws a pass down court to Williams(PG). New Jersey has a 2 on 1 fast break. Williams(PG) passes to Williams(SG) & Williams(SG) goes up for the layup. Oh noooo, he misses, but Williams(Jayson) trailing the play grabs the rebound & slams it home home for 2 points. Now that's fast break basketball. Damn, that Williams(Jason,Jason,Jayson) kid is everywhere.
I fully expect to see him in a Bulls uni next season. Seriously---I'd rather the team start playing itself out of contention for his services...
...then they might not suck. You know what team would kick ass? The All-Duke team. How about: Elton Brand Carlos Boozer Grant Hill Shane Battier Jason Williams You could have Laettner, Maggette, Dunleavy, and Parks come off the bench. I think they'd make the playoffs... (well, maybe)
I was the third base coach for a little league team my Dad coached a couple of summers ago, a team full of nine-year olds. For the first week of practices, the roster my Dad supplied me with for me to run drills etc. had only first names, except for the two Matts: Matt G. Matt B. So for the first week, when I'd split up teams or tell kids where to go, I'd usually put Matt G. and Matt. B on different sides, just because their names were in the middle of the list and it seemed like an even six/six split (or something close) with those two on opposite sides. And every time I'd address the two kids, I'd call 'im either "Matt G." or "Matt B." I was driving home with my Dad after the fourth practice, talking about the batting order for the first scrimmage that was coming up, and I said something about either of the kids, calling them Matt with their given last initial. "Eh, Kelly, their last names don't start with 'G.' and 'B.' The letters stand for 'good' and 'bad,' I thought I gave you the list with the last names...f*ck!" He wrote the roster for me after the first practice, and the sick thing was, Matt Bad ended up as a better player than Matt Good.
I'm sure they'll do something like the Mets did when they had 2 Bobby Jones, just include their middle initials.... Bobby M. Jones Bobby J. Jones Boxscore would read BM Jones BJ Jones I'm sure we'd learn the middle names of the Jason's and they'll be referred to like that.
