Steeve Ho You Fat! Yay Steeve! Thank you all for playing. There will indeed be another competition: 84 names are already being parsed for the 64 spots available, and should more be found, an NIT may even be possible. Well, unless it’s overkill. And now back to basketball operations matters.

April 6th, 2014
[Previously: First round, second round, sweet sixteen, second round, elite eight, final four.] This is it, the final showdown. After a long, fiercely competitive, hit-count friendly month of titanic struggle and mesmering battle, we have eliminated 62 competitors in the first annual Ridiculous Basketball Player Names competition, and are down to the final pair. So established already are their names in basketball player folklore that it is beyond tricky to think of a single fresh and funny thing to say about them. And thus we need only provide their stories so far.

April 3rd, 2014
[Previously: First round, second round, sweet sixteen, second round, elite eight.] 60 down, four to go. (Click here for full size version) As always, these names are completely genuine. If you don’t believe it, Google it. (1) Grienntys Chief Kickingstallionsims v (1) Gang Wang Journeys so far: (1) Grienntys Chief Kickingstallionsims First round: Won 359-40 v (16) Indiana Faithfull Second round: Won 125-39 v (8) God’sgift Achiuwa Sweet Sixteen: Won 85-37 v (5) Solomon HorseChief Elite Eight: Won 40-34 v (3) Typhoon Dusk Nurse The previously unassailable Chief finally hit trouble in the form of Nurse. He won anyway, but the pre-tournament favourite is fallible. (1) Gang Wang First round: Won 237-59 v (16) Storm Clonch Second round: Won 104-41 v (8) Hunter Dick Sweet Sixteen: Won 59-39 v (5) Chubby Cox Elite Eight: Won 38-31 v (2) Ebenezer Noonoo Odd thing is, it’s not that uncommon of a name.

Maybe this assuages it some. (10) Scientific Mapp First round: Won 178-134 v (7) God Shammgod Second round: Won 107-37 v (2) B.J. Banjo Sweet Sixteen: Won 65-35 v (3) Spongy Benjamin Elite Eight: Won 55-17 v (1) Just-in-Love Smith As the bracket’s creator, I take some pride in having had three number one seeds make the final four.
