BJ "Logs" Mullens - was that a blumpkin reference?

Both Teams Played Hard said...

AJ Price's makes sense. His game should lead to him being very well-known in Mexico.

Toasterhands said...

Bron Jockman is my favorite.

"The Smear" comes in 2nd.

MC Welk said...

Thou art the Noble Homo.

Is Beardo a reference to Fisto from He-Man? Unsettling

Unknown said...

Nice list, but I went to IU and it's Robert "Darth" Vaden.

KNEE JERK NBA said...

Terrence 'Turnpike Barbie' Williams, perhaps?

Props for 'Sister' Christian, btw. PURE WIN.

Unknown said...

Taj "Mahal" Gibson?

Walt said...

Tyreke (Shooter) Evans
Tyreke (Drive By) Evans
Tyreke (Aiding and Abetting) Evans
Kings announcer: "... and Evans drives the getaway car, um, lane."

Walt said...

Big Trojans fan and I have to say, it should be Demar "DeBust" DeRozan, or "Debunked" DeRozan. He can also be referred to as "Package Deal" since he only went to USC after Tim Floyd gave Lil Romeo a basketball scholarship.
P.S. Taj Gibson can be referred to as Old Man Gibson, Methuselah Gibson, I'm Old Enough to Run for Congress Gibson.

Walt: I don't get the Tyreke crime references? Are you referring to when he walked into an abandoned house? Clown.

Patrick said...

Ol' Shatterbones is my favorite. Austin Daye is going to be such a chump in this league.
