All-Time, All-Everything great names team

[wizard1]

Drakes new signee, Daddy Ugbede, certainly makes the cut on the All-Time great names team but probably isn't a starter when up against---
Napolean Lightning
Sir Valient Brown
World B. Free
God shamGod

Anyone have any recommended recruits??

[DUBulldog]

Back when West Texas State was in the MVC, they had a guy named Goliath Yeggins....always loved that name.

The Ya-Ya one isn't as bad for me anymore seeing as I'm fairly familiar with a Toure Yaya hahahaha

I don't consider them great name team members when they have to change their given names. Most if them do it for attention. World B. Free, come on.

What about an all-time BU hoops name team? Have we ever done that on this site?

I don't have the knowledge of the past like most of you, but I would nominate:

-- Adebayo Akinkule -- Bayo was one of my favorite players
-- Will Egolf
-- Montana Heirman
-- Xanthus Houston
-- Saihou Jassey -- say what? Saihou!
-- Mbaukwu Nwaogwugwu - I have no idea if I spelled that correctly

I'm sure there are many that I'm missing from back in the day...

My personal favorite was Baskerville Holmes. As a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, struck me as funny.
