I was just looking at the Siena roster and saw a name "just-in'love Smith." This may be the most unusual name have ever seen....anyone got one that's better or just as unusual?  |

Not in this tournament, but in the Indiana HS final four more than 30 years ago I remember a player on one roster by the name of "King Solomon Duke".

Would Ole Miss' Ansu Sesay or George Washington's Pops Mensu-Bonsu be acceptable as unusual names?

Scott Drew's own Ekpe Udoh - not sure if I got the spelling. Leave it to Scott to find guys like that, plus Lacedarius Dunn.

Valpo89, you're right, it is Ekpe Udoh, but then Scott also has Tweety Carter too.

Isaiah Thomas of Washington, his name isn't unusual but the way he got it is. He was named after the Indiana Thomas because his father lost a bet on a Lakers/Piston playoff game in 1979.

The Indiana Isaiah Thomas was not on the Pistons in 1979. He played on IU's 1981 national title team. So the bet must have come later. |
