Don’t forget Jim Les!

There's also Zhou Qi and some guy named Jim Fox who actually played more than 700 games in the NBA. But I didn't find someone with <6 letters.

Looks like Wally Sczerbiak. Solid NBA career and pretty good analyst.

Don't go to basketball reference or cheat. Just dig deep into your noggin and think of who you can come up with.

I'll start with a two pack. Junior Harrington and Vincent Yarbrough. Amazingly the starting back court for the Carmelo/LeBron tanking Nuggets, aka the worst roster in NBA history.



Ironic how you're telling people not cheat and to dig deep into their noggin when this very topic was posted on Reddit NBA this morning...

I recently watched Field of Dreams and decided to see if I could figure out who the NBA equivalent of Moonlight Graham was and found JamesOn Curry. He played 1 NBA game for less than a minute. I did a quick google search just now and lo and behold ESPN has pretty long an article about him and the similarity to Moonlight Graham.
