In a recent news article, I saw a reference to a former college basketball player from the University of Providence, in Rhode Island. I actually can’t believe I didn’t remember, or hear more about this guy. I looked up his stats online, and there’s not much on his play on the court… just lots and lots of references to his name. And why not? It had to have been the strangest name EVER for ANY athlete EVER. I think.

So who was this crazy named player?

His name was Shamgod. God Shamgod. Seriously. That’s on his birth certificate.

And he played for PROVIDENCE.

Just a funny piece of NCAA history as we approach the month of March. 🙂
