Here's my top 10 (in no particular order)
1. Kiki Vandeweghe "Kiki" is German for "curly headed" and was his nickname as a kid.
2. Fat Lever An All Star point guard. "Fat" is obviously just his nickname.
3. Mookie Blaylock Apparently this is also the original name of the band Pearl Jam.
4. Tree Rollins Reportedly the last player to wear Converse Chuck Taylors in an NBA game.
5. World B. Free Put up 46 points against future 1980 NBA Champions Kareem and Magic Johnson.
6. Fennis Dembo Some people believe he is a murderer.
7. Pervis Ellison Defeated Duke.
8. Wang ZhiZhi Put up 7 points in less than 2 minutes.
9. Orlando Woolridge An early teammate in MJ's career.
10. Bison Dele Apparently disappeared on a trip to Hawaii.
