Just For Fun ...... Who Had The Biggest Shtik In The NBA Past & Present

Just for fun on a rainy day, I was thinking about who had the Biggest Shtik or Act in the NBA Past or Present. A few who come to mind are Walt "Clyde" Frazier in his 1930's clothing style & fur coat and Rolls Royce, Denis Rodman and his Tattoos and rainbow hair dyes and Labron James and his rosin snow show he gives everyone at the scoring table each game.

Daryl Dawkins had a pretty good act.

Bill Russell had a goatee when facial hair was frowned upon, wore capes, opened a soul food restaurant in downton Boston, and used to tell opponents, "Bring the salt and pepper because you're going to eat the ball tonite."

I guess this qualifies as both Loscy and Cousy schtick.

JIM LOSCUTOFF: "Cooz was almost like a freak. He was just over 6-foot and he was so skinny, but he had huge hands, long arms and big feet. He also had that French accent and he couldn't say his Rs.

"He would say, "I have great po-whiffel vision."

"Once, he did a commercial for Roman Meal Bread, but he called it, "Wo-man Meal Bed."

"We teased him about that stuff all the time."

I don't think "shtick" is the right word for him, but the guy who comes to mind is Earl Monroe. Earl the Pearl. Black Jesus. The guy that Jesus Shuttleworth (Ray Allen) was named after in "He Got Game." They called him "Thomas Edison" because he invented so many moves. Handled the ball like it was on a string. Man could put on a show.
