As if there was ever another choice for the weirdest player in the 1980s, Darryl Dawkins has a legitimate hold of the second-weirdest-player-ever title.
Dawkins was most well known for his nickname Chocolate Thunder and his ability to bring down backboards in a chaotic shower of bits of glass and muscle, but he was even stranger than that.
He claimed to be an alien from the planet Lovetron where he practiced "interplanetary funkmanship" in the offseason and spent time with his girlfriend, Juicy Lucy.
On top of that, as if you needed anything else, Dawkins also named his dunks, including the backboard breaker, which was dubbed, "The Chocolate-Thunder-Flying, Robinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking, Glass-Breaking, Rump-Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam, Glass-Breaker-I-Am-Jam."
