Next years draft has some players with some pretty cool names:
Enes Kantor
Fab Melo
Jack Pullen
Herb Pope….
Some past NBA players with good names
Here are some of my favorites:
Cherokee Parks
Bonzi & Bubba Wells (who doesn’t love brothers with crazy names?)
Vonteego Cummings (this would be a great porn name)
Magnum Rolle
Lafayette Lever (one of the most underrated players of all time)
Butch Beard….
What are some of your favorite (real) names of NBA players?

I guess I can’t say Vonteegos last name, or what type of work it would be good for.
(when the site automatically censers a name that means it is truly a cool name!)

I am horrible for saying this but, watch out for Peter Jurkin.
Also, I looked up some decent ones on-line for the heck of it and found these gems:
Picasso Simmons, Murray State
Dominitrix Johnson, Illinois St
Chris P-orn, Elon (You can’t say p orn on this site?)
King Cannon, Central Arkansas
Qavotstaraj Waddell, Chattanooga
Iman Shokouhizadeh, Centenary
Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos, Northern Colorado
Uwemedimo Eshietedoho, UMBC
Philippe Tchekane Bofia, Maine
Jacob Turnipseed, Nicholls State
Soloman HorseChief, Pacific
Urule Igbavboa, Valparasio
Parfait Bitee, Rhode Island
Spongy Benjamin, Marist
Chamberlain “Champ” Oguchi, Oregon
I loved Reuben Boutmje-Boutmje and Chief Kickingstallionsims too, good call on both of those to the posters. Also have to say Duke Crews formerly of Tennessee is one of the cooler names I have ever heard. Also, their was a European player whose name was Gregor F-ucka (without the -). For a while it looked like he might come to the NBA, but alas, never got the chance to cop that glorious jersey with his last name on the back. If he went to Utah, people would probably petition him to change his name.
