    The poll and the first post of the OP is misleading though.

    The poll itself talks about memorable names. So I went with World B. Free (come one, no way you forget that guys name.)

    But then, the first post adds the stipulation that he must have had been a forgettable player, remembered only because of the name.

    If that's the case, Moochie, Sleepy Floyd and World B. Free shouldn't be on the list. They were far from forgettable, and has substantial playing time in their day.


    You want forgettable with a catchy name? How about ZAN TABAK? Dude couldn't even sniff the court with Dream playing back in the day

    My bad folks. The forgettable player stipulation is on the poll itself! My fault for not catching it!
