Snoop Dogg is from Lafayette, so maybe some of you Cajuns know him.

Big Baby
AD - initials
Dr. J - not playing now
Pistol Pete - not playing now
Penny Hardaway - not playing now
Magic Johnson - not playing now
CP3 - intials and number, but I'll take it
The Jet for Jason Terry - that isn't used as much as his name
Birdman - good one!

how many NBA fans know Dr J's real name?


I bet most can say it. Spell it correctly? I bet it splits.

Julius Irving or Julius Erving

I know. But I bet many don't.
