True Hoop’s Henry Abbott does a bit

True Hoop’s Henry Abbott does a bit of research into baby names inspired by NBA players. “[Kobe] was drafted in 1996, and in 1997 the name debuted at #553. 2001 was its best year ever, when it was the 223rd most common name in America. Donald, Keith, Troy, Lance, Simon, Chad, Dante, Douglas, Tony, Joe all ranked lower.”
