BuzzerBeater Forums

I miss the funny names threads. Since league V is pretty boring, i'm going to post a couple times a week on forums. I welcome your replies and kindmess. I made up a starting five lneup for funny names, they aren't players in BB, just made up.

Center - Aaron Brickford.. A brick says it right. He wont' move on defense, and he needs a step-ladder to make a dunk. Shoots bricks beyond 12 feet. no arm strength, but a solid body.

Power Forward - Rubber Springer - a great jump shot, but poor shot selection. He loves offense, but gives no effort on defense. Won awards in high jump and pole vault. Broke his ankle wearing cleats at a swimming pool.

Small forward - Coco Ulo - We thoguht he's from the Philippipnes, but he said that's false. I dont know much about the kid, but he's starting his rookie year. He's very tough and suffers no injuries, playing through. Also seems hollow in the head. It means coconut Head.

Shooting Guard - Buster Keaton - not the actor, but he has the same name. Learned to shoot the tree standing still, as a wall fell on top of him. Occasional fighter, but only wen't into the stands to buy a hot dog and get a bucket of popcorn.

Point Guard - Kelly Cruz - the body build confused us, but a pregnancy test revealed that she is female,. She has very good ball skills, directs the offense an good at pick-and-roll setup. She trask talks like Ron Artest. We'll have to replace her in a few months.

Yu Shiting could take all of them, especially because he is on a team of Sneaky Bastards.

my league has Sidney Barrett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfrBVgGMl-o

Oh wow, you're a Syd Barrett fan?
Thought his real first name was Roger though. (or something like that.) But maybe I'm wrong.

The Sacramento Kings, at one point in time, were once rumored to be front runners to acquire Kevin Love, via trade. Unfortunatley, that never came to fruition. That's too bad, as it would have made for an interesting front court: Gay - Love - Cousins.

I guess Sac will just have to settle for the, Gay - Thompson - Cousins, front court combo. And at times, when Travis outlaw is playing SF, and Rudy Gay slides over to the PF (not my favorit rotation): Outlaw - Gay - Cousins. Man....you suck Sac! Oh wait, I love Sac. That's my favorite team. We're going to make the playoffs this season. Suck it, haters!

If Yu Shiting was on my roster, I'd make sure his locker is located next to the bathroom so that no "accidents" would occur. No doubt he got that name due to a lack of body control. Well, I'l have to ask a Chinese person what that name represents .. sorry.

Jonathan "metal mouth" Padilla signed with the Pacers today. While this guy is a dedicated basketball player with years of playing at many levels, many people are afraid to play him. Luis Suarez has his bad habit, apparently playing hungry. Padilla suffered a mouth problem when he was young, which resulted in metal braces and metal teeth. With a strong bite force, Padilla can puncture a basketball with a stiff bite. No doubt other teams are afraid to play us. It's unfortunate, but we don't mind the forfeits.

Roger Waters became the leader of the band after Syd's demise.

There are two Roger Waters, one playing in D6 the other retired, neither of note


Same with David Gilmore.

Yeah I got that.
But thought I remember reading that Syd went back to using his real name after quitting music. Thought it was also Roger?

ETA- it was:

According to a 2005 profile by biographer Tim Willis, Barrett, who had reverted to using his original name of Roger, continued to live in his late mother's semi-detached home in Cambridge, and had returned to painting,

I do stand corrected! Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways!

Here is a list of funny names that I have found in game during my scouring of the TL:

(33462407) Harry Hooker. He charges salary by the game.
(33462422) His name is Brain! Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? Narf!
(32715395) Tuna Tugcu. He should be on a team with Mike Trout and Brandon Bass.
(14053407) Little Burkett. Is there a Big Burkett, too?
(8836895) Nir Vana. He's divine!
