There are good NBA-inspired names. There are great NBA-inspired names. There are bad NBA-inspired names. And there are terrible NBA-inspired names. I’m not sure which category this young man’s moniker fits into, but I do know it’s amazing, in some way, good or bad.

Here’s a final question. Better name, Stockton Malone Shorts, or LaMelo Ball?
