Players names have always been a topic of discussion.  And they always will be a topic of discussion.  I mean think about it.  Could you see a name more befitting of a quarterback than Colt McCoy?  I sure as hell can’t.  So it’s no surprise that folks like me and others like to bring to light some of the more interesting names in collegiate and pro sports.

Today we’ll be focusing on NCAA Basketball.  2008 had a crop of extremely interesting names.  From your movie stars to porn stars it was an eclectic bunch to say the least.

Here are 20 names that aren’t exactly normal.
