     What NBA player’s names are ALWAYS pronounced wrong?

     

    The one that annoys me the most is Serge Ibaka…..even the Blazers announcer can’t get it right tonight…….it’s Ibaka not EYE-baka…..he’s not an Apple product……that announcer should be fined he’s said it 2 times….his partner finally got him to say it right.

     It’s curently debatable in the DMV area if you pronounce Andray Blatche’s name "Ann-Dray or "Ahn-Dray. It doesn’t matter to me though, because I just call him Blatche. As in @#$% you Blatche and @#$%@#$%@ Blatche everytime he shoots an ill-advised shot or decides to not play defense, and I yell at the TV.

     Kevin Seraphin. A lot of people say Kevin, but it it is pronounced like Ka-veen Seraphin, since he is from France.

    Andrea Bargnani is an easy one, I think dwayne Casey has mispronounced his name before. I cant stand pronouncing Dirks last name as No-win-ski I always pronounce it No-wit-zki. I bet Bonner gets called Boner alot.

    It’s obviously pronounced Dare-in Williams, not Dee-ron Williams, but yet people constantly mispronounce it.

    I heard someone say is it Dare-in or Duh-ron. I thought it was pronounced Der-ron. But trying to distinguish Duh-ron from Der-on is making my mind hurt.

    the problem is not in the name or lastname but in the american grammar.. if each vowel was always pronounced the same way there would be no problem..
