First team:
PG - Steffphon Pettigrew - Thanks to Straight Bangin' for bringing this one to my attention - it's a gem. I don't think there's really any excuse for this one... Steffphon's parents were obviously aware of the power wielded by the "ph" combination since they didn't omit it, so the added "ff" is just a blatant slap in the face of english teachers all over the world.
SG - Dwyane Wade - the classic example how to spice up a boring name. Sprinkle in a little dyslexia and some mad hops and you've got the most exciting player in the NBA . The worst part of this one is that his actual name is Dwyane Tyrone Wade, Junior. Misspelling the name once was bad enough but passing it on from generation to generation? For shame.
SF - Anfernee Deon "Penny" Hardaway - probably the most egregious example on the list. Really? Anfernee? Is that even close? Luckily, Penny has the whole line of Lil' Penny commercials to redeem himself in our hearts.
PF - Amar'e Stoudemire - I don't even know what an apostrophe is supposed to sound like here. Maybe it's something like !Xobile.
C - Kwynsie Pittsnogle (future prospect) - Kevin's son was the inspiration for this post.
