Nov. 13--Twice this week, NBA players had their names misspelled on their jerseys.
In the Bulls' victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday, big man Andre Drummond played the game with "Drummund" on his uniform. Wednesday night, Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap started the game with "Milsap" before the error got corrected.
These incidents recalled the time longtime Bulls equipment manager John Ligmanowski had some fun at then-rookie Joakim Noah's expense.
As Noah was preparing to play his first-ever NBA exhibition in LaCrosse, Wis., against the Bucks, Ligmanowski placed a jersey inside Noah's locker with the name "NOHA" on the back.
By game time, the jersey had been replaced with the proper spelling. And Noah enjoyed Ligmanowski's prank on that Oct. 9, 2007, night.
"That was cool," Noah said then.
