    For questions relating to name pronunciation.  Help each other out.

    My question: Thaddeus Young.  I’ve heard both THAD-de-us and Thu-DEE-us

    It’s "Josh" like "Chris Bosh" and "Smith" like, like…I’ll assume you’re struggling with the "Josh" part

     Is it pronounced Brian Scalabrine or The Almight God?

    On a serious, semi-related note, how do you pronounce GOTYE? This song is probably #1 in the world and I’ll admit, I like it lol. But I can never pronounce dudes name

    I found a guy on youtube that does some NBA pronunciations, including my guy Chukwudiebere Maduabum. Here’s the Dwyane Wade one for example, seems legit.

    Gotye is pretty much the pride of Australian music at the moment, that song was number 1 in Australia in 2011.  It’s pronounced Gor-tee-air.

     

    Don’t worry I used to call him Got-yee.  My mates never let me hear the end of it.

    BTW – Great song!

     J.P. Tokoto.  I thought it was Tuh-koh-toh, but the announcers say it as Toh-kuh-toh.

      It is Tuh-koh-toh. His grandfather was my soccer coach. It was bothering me that ESPN was mispronouncing it.

    The European player’s names are almost never pronounced correctly.
