Who has the funnest (or funniest) name in the NBA?

I used to love to say "God Shammgod" & Sarunas Marciulionis & Boumtje Boumtje & GUGLIOTTA & Alla Abdelnaby, but those guys are long gone :depressed

What about today?

-Jorge Garbajosa?
-Rudy Gay? :p:
-Ginobili?
-Zaza Pachulia?
-Kelenna Azubuike?


I'm stuck between Thabo Sefalosha and Mickael Gelabale...sometimes I just start laughin before I get to the end of their names.

Sarunas Jasikevicius, but he is not in the league anymore.

Micheal Gellaballe, the Sonics dude. It sounds like JelloBall

Marco Belinelli

The pronunciation of his last name reminds me of a musical note.

It may not be funny but it's incredible that it's his real name.
How much better could an NBA player's name get? :)

I used to love to say "God Shammgod"

Best name ever. "That's not a REAL God.... that's a sham god!"
:lol

Currently? Cheick Samb. "Cheick le Mec".

"Are our young guys what we need? Let's see...
Talented, mature guards? Check.
High-energy game-changing forwards? Check.
Shot-blocking center? Cheick."

And when Flip has him nailed to the bench, we'll chant "Cheick, please!"

Duncan - because he's got that Scottish King thing going for him
Greg Oden - has a similar Norse thing going too


Tiago Splitter - when he arrives, will be my new favorite NBA name (hopefully he doesn't suck.)


Runner up: Reggie Miller's pronounciation of Fab: Umberto

Yeah, that makes me laugh. Reggie's such an embarrassment.

The FUNNIEST name of all time:

Oh yeah, Frank Brickowski wasn't too bad either.

I forgot about him! Too fun to say (pronounced SKEET-ish-VEE-LEE)...too bad he couldn't cut it in the NBA. If he would've turned into a superstar...man, can you imagine if he played for the Spurs and helped us dominate a game in a win? My own newspaper headline would read:

"SPURS TSKIT ALL OVER THE NUGS"

...damn I'm a pervert.

:nope
