True that. The only one I would say that comes close is Lights Out Shawne Merriman.

There was a basketball player in the 1990s named Larry Johnson who did a series of commercials for Nike (I think), where he dressed in drag as his own "grandmama." Like Mama McNabb, only with Donovan in the dress.
When the Chiefs RB came along with the same name, Chris Berman slapped the old Hornet & Knick's nickname on him because he's unoriginal.
Bad Company

"daylight come and I got to Delhomme" is a bad one, I doubt that is even it, but WHATEVER
Curtis "My Favorite" Martin was good, in 1998 :mad:
"Incomprable" Mike Vick was pretty good too
I hate Chris Berman.
Anyway, Marcus "Cotton" Camby :(

Oliver Miller was a fat center who the Timberwolves picked up during the year they got No. 1 seed in the west.
Those were the days.

I think you're mistaken.. "White Chocolate" is a skinny, bald white dude that plays streetball.. Never heard Jason Williams reffered to as that..

Wasn't he also on Family Matters as the Grandmama character?
