Top 10 Pro Basketball Player Names (2003-2004 edition)

Some of my favorites that were inexplicitly left off this year's list
Lee "Press On" Nailon, Dan Gadzuric (Bless You), Koko Archibong,
Leandrinho Barbosa, Sofoklis Schortsanitis, Szymon Szewczyk, Ndudi Ebi,
Cherokee Parks, DeSagana Diop, Cezary Trybanski and last but not least
Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo.

Leandro Barbosa was in the running, as was DeSagana Diop. So was Ira Newble, in fact, and I bet I could've done a pretty good all-Cavs list.

Koko Archibong was waived by the Lakers (otherwise he'd probably be top-five candidate).

If I hadn't deliberately left out nicknames Jason "White Chocolate" Williams and Shawn "The Matrix" Marion would've made appearances.

Xaiver McDaniel - i always loved that name. But amongst your current list - Nene is the best.

A lakers fan and I messed up KoKo, my bad. Maybe you should do an all-time best NBA names and while you are at it do an all-time best College Basketball name list. Here some to start you off with, some
of the best names in college basketball, past and present.

Brett Blizzard
Boomer Brazzle
Commander King
Cheikh Ya-Ya Dia
Longar Longar
Mack Tuck

and the top 3 best college names:
3. God Shamgod
2. Majestic Mapp

And for number 1, Majestic's brother and all time best name

1. Scientific Mapp. If this guy had made the NBA he would of been number one on your list every year. :)

How about the one they ARE saying all the time... his highness, Predrag Stojakovic?

These are some wack names for top ten list I think you guys should come up with a better list and I was thinking maybe I could help you guys with a list,because I know some great basketball players. Here is my list at the bottom. Allen Iverson
Tracy MaGrady
Paul Peirce
TaShawn Prince
Michael Jordan
Chawncy Billup
Vince Carter
Dajuan Wagner
Steve Francis
Carmello Anthony

Are you kidding me? I think Micheal Jordan all the way! MJ is the best and all you people know it! stop lying! Look its not Darko Milic! He sucks! MJ all the all way!

I know close to nothing about basketball, but one evening I was watching a special they were doing on a certain player who was part of a reading program for kids. He was being recogniezed for giving back to the community I guess. and they showed him reading to children in a public library. Any who I think he was a pro player. I want to know his name. The most gorgeous man I've ever laid my eyes on. He was a white red haired guy. Wore a goat-tee and had the prettiest sleepy blue eyes. ***gush*** Okay any idea who that is ?? Let me know please. Thanks.

How can no one mention Carlos Boozer? This is probably the best name ever, anywhere. Sure it's not so flashy, like your , Ruben Boumtje Boumtje's or Nene's, but that's what makes it so lovable. The alcoholic implications, the over all crappiness. It sounds like the name of a guy you'd actually meet, at an 80's club or a car stereo exposition or a kiddie porn chat room: it's a name of true beauty.
