Interesting to check out the US version of the Crocs team as they get ready for the World Titles through here (hope the link works).

JJ Redick is perhaps the most well-known name on the roster, but what's with some of the other names?

Rudy Gay (porn star name if ever I've heard one)
Justin Gray
Taj Gray
Allan Ray

So for commentators, technically you could have five guys on the floor whose names rhyme with "j": "Gay, to Gray, to Ray, to Gray, to JJ...he scores!"

There's also some pics of the guys going bowling, with one of them wearing a funny "I'm not Shaq" shirt having the nickname "Big Baby". However, he looks sufficiently sized that I wouldn't dare joke about it to his face.

Rudy Gay is the projected No 1 pick for the 2006 Draft if he declares. He's a 6-8 SF from UConn.

Taj Gray is a 6-9 PF from Oklahoma State, projected first rounder in the 2006 Draft if he declares.

Another potential porn star is Rajon Rondo, he's a 6-1 PG from Kentucky. Considered a lottery pick for 2006 if he declares.

Here's another name, Mardy Collins, he's a 6-6 PG/SG from Temple. Considered a lottery pick for 2006 if he declares.

"Big Baby" is Glen Davis. He's a 6'8", 300lb fwd/ctr who was about to declare for the NBA draft straight outta high school, but withdrew

As Bo said the shirt Davis wears is pretty damn good. A pic of shaq throwing down a two hander on the front titled "I'm not Shaq", but on the back there is a pic of him throwing down his own nasty two hander with the title "I'm just his student"

In the photo you would swear it Shaq.

By the sound of Davis's bio it appears he could be the second coming of Tractor Traylor, not Shaq.
