detlef schrempf was on the supersonics
and smrek was guarding schrempf
chickie was going crazy calling the game
"its schrempf on smrek! i mean shcrmrek on smrempf! smrek blocks smrek's
shot! SCHMREKALMPF!
and so on
greatest basketball names of all time:
world b free
sedale threatt
tayshaun prince

moochie norris
mookie blaylock
spud webb
cazzie russell
ira newble
manute bol
muggsy bogues
cherokee parks
shandon anderson (it's the shand and that gets me)

and the incomparable smush parker
A solid list, missing just a few:
The brothers Mapp, Majestic and Scientific
Harold "the Show" Arcenaulx
Yuta Tabuse
Moses Scurry
Doremus Bennerman and a blast for the distant past...
Harthorne Nathniel Wingo

And lets' not forget the Lithuanian sensation, Gundars Vetra. Sveiks!
P.S. Vlad Guerroro should totally start calling himself "Vlad Shamvlad". That would be so huge.
Pretty good list. All I got is Gunnar Stapp
. . . and then there was the Dwainey Dwainey guy . . . or something like that. Can't forget him!
