7 NBA Players Whose First Name You Don't Know!

The shortest player in NBA history's first name is Tyrone, NOT Muggsy. He got the nickname by his friends when he was young and the name caught on.

Another short NBA player whose birth name isn't known by many. His actual name is Anthony, Spud is just his nickname.

Jamal is just his middle name, his first name is actually Aaron. He is only known as Jamal though... and J Crossover.

Tony is not his first name, it's William. Tony is just the altered version of his middle name, Anthony.

If you were wondering who would name their child Fat, it's not his first name. His name is actually Lafayette, his brother called him Fett for short, but the name eventually became Fat.

Ray is just his middle name. His real name is Walter. When he hits a three the announcers say "Ray!", not "Walter!"

Curry is actually named after his dad. No, his name isn't Dell, it's Wardell. So, I could have put him on here too, but it's close enough, so i'll let him slide.
