I apologize if this has been posted in the past. A thread like this seems to be a natural topic of discussion over the years. Also, I know this rips off Dickie V’s annual All Name Team (Scientifik Mapp), but what are the best Niner athlete names through the years? I believe Pino Pipes actually made Dicky V’s list one year. (That must have been a slow year.)
Some awesome names I can think of:
Malru Dottin
Pino Pipes
Gabby Ndoundjo
Kevin “Butter” Johnson
Leemire Goldwire hands down. And especially hands up when the hands are his hands and a basketball is leaving them.
I also like The Goonj. “The Goonj, Terror of the Southeast”
Nickname
Trigger Terrell has always been my favorite! Of course his real name was James I believe.
Real name
Alexander Kuel
Diego - he didn’t even need a last name! All of our opponents feared Diego and the kiss!
Mira Mupier
Diego Gueverra
Brendan Plavich, (Plav or Plavvy) I always liked that.
Karrianne Huffstetler
Kace Jones you better watch your speed.
Ivonna Mandik… x female bball player
I also liked Cam Stephens.

The thread is titled “Best Names in 9er History,” not “Biggest Busts in 9er History.”
Cornbread is easily the best Niner name ever. stop. May be, but it doesn't help that the guy who got that nickname is a jerk and an ungrateful hack.
I bet “The Goonj, Terror of the Southeast” could eat Cornbread for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, WITHOUT a drink and not miss a beat.

Can we please have a thread devoted to that latter part to replace the golddusters thread?
Ivonna Mandik
Pino Pipes
Tim “The Little Barking Bitch” Collie
Hands down, Pino has the best name.
