View Full Version : The NBA Name Game
Glenn 01-31-2006, 10:59 AM Not sure if this is going to work or not, it could be swat city, but here goes.
If you can have all of the players in the league with the same last name, which last name would you take?
Example: Wallace
Ben
Sheed
Gerald
Is there another last name that would give you a better package of players than that?
It doesn't have to be multiple players, you can say Garnett if you'd rather have him than those 3 guys above.
(This will be more fun if you think about it off the top of your head and not just look up all the player names on nba.com)
WTFchris 01-31-2006, 11:02 AM Bryant. He's a one man team. Just kidding. I'll have to think about that.
I like doing this debate with College instead of names too BTW.
Off the top of my head Oneal would be good (if you consider different spellings to work).
Shaq
Jermaine
uh, I guess that is it.
WTFchris 01-31-2006, 11:07 AM What about the Williams?
Aaron
Mo
Eric
Jason
Jay?
Marvin
Deron
Millers?
Andre
Brad
Mike
Jones?
Eddie
Donkey
Fred
James
Jurmaine
Glenn 01-31-2006, 11:08 AM Here's one to consider:
James
LeBron
Mike
Jerome
more?
BigggChris04 01-31-2006, 11:08 AM 2 off the top of my head are
...
Davis:
Antonio Davis
Baron Davis
Ricky Davis
Dale Davis
...
Ima leave the other out there and see if someone else says it before I do
BigggChris04 01-31-2006, 11:09 AM Welp
...
I was thinking Miller and Chris#2 said it already
WTFchris 01-31-2006, 11:11 AM problem is that almost no name would result in a 5 man team. That's what makes a college debate fun. You can usually field an entire team.
Glenn 01-31-2006, 11:12 AM If it helps, just think of it as a trade package, not fielding a team.
In other words, out of all the ideas suggested, which package would have the most value?

...
You can always go with a 1/2 court 3 on 3
...
Maybe
1 gaurd
1 forward
1 center
...
But then again, every on with that last name might not have diff positions, ok Ima shut up now
WTFchris 01-31-2006, 11:24 AM no love for the robinsons? Cliffy, nate, bernard Jr?
Glenn 01-31-2006, 11:28 AM Howard is pretty solid
I can think of Josh, Juwan & Dwight
Glenn 01-31-2006, 11:29 AM Are there any other Diops besides Desagna? (sp?)
WTFchris 01-31-2006, 11:33 AM Milicic is pretty solid [smilie=anxious.gif]
Stoudamire
Damon, Salim, Amare'
Smith (theres a bunch)
Thomas (again a bunch)
BigggChris04 01-31-2006, 11:39 AM What bout Stoudmire
...
Amire
Damon
Salim
...
[:::EDIT:::]
Ma bad didnt see that there
Pharaoh 01-31-2006, 11:41 AM GD - the game lasted 8 minutes.
Chris killed it
I think using College is a good way to go
Glenn 01-31-2006, 11:42 AM Milicic is pretty solid [smilie=anxious.gif]
Killed it here? lol
Which Chris?
I still think it's a good discussion, maybe I'll keep it going right here in my office.
BigggChris04 01-31-2006, 11:43 AM Allen
...
Ray
Malik
Tony
...
I think Davis is the best so far
...
The only comparasion I feel are the
Wallaces
James
Miller
Glenn 01-31-2006, 11:43 AM Too bad no Reggie for that Miller list.
Milicic is pretty solid [smilie=anxious.gif]

LOL, the winner of the WTF Name game is definately Chris.
[Edit: Of course, if I wasn't a jack-ass I would have considered the G family and never made this post]

How's about you do "the college thing" and let us have our fun here?
It wasn't supposed to be about "searching", btw.
LOL

GD - I've done the college thing and am now too old to do it again

*scratches head*
I dunno?

I thought you said something else
Glenn 01-31-2006, 12:03 PM So far the best ones seem to be:
Wallace (Ben, Sheed, Gerald)
O'Neal (Shaq, Jermaine)
Miller (Brad, Mike, Andre)
James (LeBron, Mike, Jerome)
Davis (Baron, Antonio, Ricky, Dale)
Fool might be onto something with the Smiths & the Thomas', but he didn't list the players.
I'd have to "search" them, especially the Smith's as I can't keep them all straight.
Also, the Stoudamire's are better than the Millers (who are on you list of "the best").

You have to include names of players past to make this thing work. C'mon people, head on a swivel. Head on a swivel.
I wish TK was the name or a forum member past.
