Isn't it CheikhA "Ya-Ya" Dia?
Also I request a write-in for my #2 all-time favorite Hoya (after Charles Smith):
Boubacar Aw.
I would pay a lot of money for a #22 Boubacar Aw jersey from that era.

Excluding the Africans, who clearly blow everyone else away, Octavious Spann is damn good name.

I always thought Gene Smith's, Bill Martin's, Joey and Fred Brown's names were unique.

If you throw in Dikembe's WHOLE name, there is no contest...
Does anyone know it right off-hand?

Ya-Ya almost had my vote, but Dikembe got the nod because he's Dikembe, for god's sake!
How about the best nickname? I always liked Joe "Happy Feet" Toumou.

The best name is "Patrick Ewing" but I'm guessing the survey refers to something else.  |

Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacques Wamutombo Would anyone believe me if I said I didn't have to look that up? Given that people say that Dikembe was a lot older than he said he was, does Dikembe's name mean he is former hoya John Jacques' father? |

I would have to go AW! But with the list supplied, Boumtje takes the cake.

Damnit, I knew I forgot someone. Oh well... we'll keep a tally off-line of the Aw supporters.
My bad.

Funny story about Ya Ya and Boubacar.
One day, Ya Ya and Boubacar (who were very close as Sengalis) were eating lunch with a friend of mine. In this, Ya Ya (who got my vote for best name) was explaining that he would like to return to Senegal with his GU degree in hand and run for president.
At this, Boubacar started to loudly proclaim, "Never vote for Ya Ya! Never vote for Ya Ya!"
Ya Ya replied, "If you don't shut up, when I'm President I'll denaturalize you!"
