That's a great one.

What about his dad: Butch van Breda Kolff

There are also the obvious great names we overlook because we've been exposed to them so often.

Both Lew Alcinder and Kareem Abdul Jabbar are great names for a dominant, yet graceful center.

Wilt Chamberlain is about the best name you can have for a player of his skill set.

When I was a kid playing Strat-O-Matic basketball, I always loved the name Granville Waiters. That was a good thing, because there wasn't much else to love about Granville's Strat-O-Matic card.
