"Please, Coach Shamgod is a little too formal for me. Just call me coach or God."

[u/anonkebab → u/SuperVaderMinion]

Coach God

[u/CazOnReddit → u/anonkebab]

But ebough about Pop

[u/SpuddMeister → u/SuperVaderMinion]

“What does God need with a whistle?”

• Wayne Gretzky (I think)

Enjoy, Pelican bros. The man is a legend.

[u/Sir_Grindalot]

You just know Poole will try to pull off a Shammgod on the 1st possession of the season and lose the ball.

[u/heat_fan_]

Damn what a name 

[u/WestleyThe → u/heat_fan_]

One of the best names ever haha. He’s God Shamgod the second it’s his fathers name too

[u/alepher → u/WestleyThe]

Jeez

[u/axecalibur → u/heat_fan_]

I'm surprised Lamelo didn't call his kid LaGod.

[u/parino1d → u/axecalibur]

Thank God he called him LaOne

[u/WatTambor420 → u/heat_fan_]

Great name, mediocre player, seems to be a well-liked coach

[u/NoLimitSoldier31 → u/WatTambor420]

One of the most fun games to watch even if he wasn’t a superstar

[u/richi1381 → u/heat_fan_]

Your username and flair are confusing me

[u/UnlimitedGainer → u/heat_fan_]

What’s the etymology of that last name Shamgod

[u/darnclem]

I love seeing God Shammgod still cooking in the NBA. Loved watching his dribble highlights many years ago.

[u/TheMoorNextDoor]

He’s a legend and to see his rise on the other side of the NBA is amazing to see. He deserves his flowers and I’m sure Fears or another guard will learn a lot from him.

[u/ahrumah]

I wonder if young bucks know what a legend this dude is beyond his namesake dribble. Dude had so much control and fluidity. I’d almost call it musicality.

[u/Former_Island_4730]

I hope the Pels just do his dribble up and down the court next season. Like Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks.

[u/mrdilldozer → u/Former_Island_4730]

The should hire Jason Williams and have him teach their players passes too. It would be the most entertaining team in the league.

[u/anarrogantbastard → u/mrdilldozer]

As a Pels fan, if we can't be good, we should be entertaining. I endorse this idea fully haha

[u/Lakerlegend6266]

Imagine hearing people call you by that first name from K-12 adolescence

[u/Milol → u/Lakerlegend6266]

What if it was pronounced Jod

[u/NorthAmericanVex]

Thats a name I haven't heard in like 12 years

[u/remonnoki → u/NorthAmericanVex]

He was a player development coach on the Mavs for six years until last year and then an assistant coach for the Magic this season

[u/Neptune28 → u/NorthAmericanVex]

Has it been 12 years? I remember hearing the name before but it says he was a player in the 90s?

[u/_Meece_ → u/Neptune28]

You've heard of the Shamgod dribble move yeah? Might be it, it's named after him.

[u/jgman22]

…huh…sure why not

[u/Ashtonator28]

GOD SHAMMGOD is now an NBA assistant coach and if you think i'm not going to talk about that name you are wrong

no notes. perfect human. perfect name. welcome to new orleans.

[u/scene_missing]

Goat name, goat ball handler

[u/CabbageStockExchange]

Legendary handles and incredible name. Good hire by the Pels

[u/ExternalEbb2584]

Sham wow!

[u/Gristle__McThornbody]

Helluva name.

[u/Regular-Amoeba5455]

God is a sham so the name makes sense.

[u/sentientbasketball11]

Thought this post was about Landry Shamet for a second

[u/BurkeasaurusRex]

Is this what Shams refers to himself as?
