The Best: Names in sports

Welcome to "The Best," a new series from the people who brought you "Would You Do," "Blogger Interviews" and "What Really Grinds My Gears."

It's just what it sounds like: what's the best ______? "Best" is such a subjective word and that's really the point -- let's get you guys talking! If this works, there will be intelligent, thoughtful debate on the day's topic. And if it doesn't work, well, back to the drawing board.

Nothing distinguishes a person quite like a name does. It, in a way, defines who we are.

We're known as the guys who have really long, hard-to-pronounce last names. Here's how a typical conversation regarding our name goes:

Typical idiot: Why do you have a dash in your name?
Us: It's called a "hyphen."
Typical idiot: So you have two last names?
Us: No, just one, but it's hyphenated. It's Landres hyphen Schnur.
Typical idiot: How do you say that?
Us: You know what? Forget it. Just forget it.

See, names are fun! And there are a myriad of professional athletes, past and present, with great ones. Here's our take on the best name in sports:

5. Coco Crisp
4. Stubby Clapp
3. Speedy Claxton
2. Quint0n McCracken.
1. God Shammgod

Now you go.
