Tom Gugliotta - Go to any golf course in the land, hang around for a while, and you'll meet Googs eventually. In retirement, the man is playing a lot of golf. Googs was also recently a compelling protagonist in a Twitter meme, created by Evan Dunlap, involving NBA players names as websites (i.e. Tom Googliotta). Other entries = Ndudi eBay, bit.ly Nailon, Michael Flickrson, imageshaq.us, O.J. Mayoclinic.com, PerezWalton, Lior Eliyahoo, timofeymoz.gov, Michael Reddit, and, pleasantly, ShammondSports.com. Everyone was a winner here.

- Tom Gugliotta
Googs last played in 2005 with the Atlanta Hawks, for whom he averaged 7.9 points and 5.5 rebounds in 27 games. He then retired due to the persistent problems he had with his knee, and with the other injuries that led to, such as back complaints. He now plays a lot of golf, and is a member of the Georgia Hole-In-One club. Giggidy.
(Also on that list is a man called Gaylord Hunt. Best name ever? Best name ever.)
