With all the fuss over Mike D'Antoni going to the Knicks, I got to thinking: who's in the All-Apostrophe NBA team?
Current players would be better, but am prepared to take all-time if there's not that many going around at the moment.
O'Neal is a lock, while D'Antoni is coach. Who else is there?
(And if this guy leaves the NFL and plays in the NBA, he makes it - no question.)

May need to expand it out to the hyphen-apostrophe team
Jermaine and Shaq O'neal
Patrick O'bryant
Shareef Abdur-Rahim
Didier Ilunga-Mbenga

D'Brickashaw Ferguson is a freak of nature. 6 foot 6, 300+ pounds and wingspan of 7'3" (holy crap, thats 2.21 m!!!), a vertical leap of 30 inch's!!!! If this guy can shoot, he would be a basketball freak of nature!

Did consider All-Hyphen team: Abdul-Jabbar a lock for that.
The other one which would be fun for a word nerd like me is the All-Alliterative team, ie guys like:
Dale Davis
George Gervin
Tim Thomas
Jimmy Jackson
Mike Miller
Brent Barry
Steve Smith
etc
Surely an NBL All-Alliterative team can be blueskied* here too?
Leroy Loggins
Mike McKay
etc
*Blueskied = Blue Sky Session = wanky business jargon = creation of corporate highflier self-image = image is reality = my new job = Vice-President of Imagineering

PG - Chris Paul
SG - Dwyane Wade
SF - Lebron James
PF - David Lee
C - Kurt Thomas
Ray Allen
Carmelo Anthony
Brent Barry
Devean George
Josh Howard
Coach: Byron Scott
Asst: George Karl
This is pretty weak, but sure was fun

I've always thought a good question for a quiz night would be:
"In major league baseball, which 3 players have alliterated Babe Ruth's single season home run record?"
Feel free to answer it, if you can.

Barry Bonds
Sam Sosa
and Adelaide's own Mark McGwire
