Miami Heat

French basketball player Steeve Ho You Fat has been trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. 

His name has captivated NBA fans throughout his career but it reached a new level Tuesday. During a game, an announcer couldn't help but make note of his unique name. The video has since gone viral, drawing reaction from thousands of fans. 

"Ho You Fat with a 3," the announcer said. "Yes, I just said that. That is that man's name. Don't tweet at me. I don't want a tweet from anybody. That is that man's name." 

The Heat have had their fair share of players with memorable names. According to the website www.nbaplayerswithfunnynames.com, two players made the top 20 list. Center Wang Zhizhi checked in at No. 20 while point guard Bimbo Coles was No. 3. 

Zhizhi played with the Heat from 2003-05 and is now a basketball coach in China. Cole starred for the Heat from 1990-96.
