I have a question, not sure if its Trivia or not, but I have these 4 players, what they have in common beside 3 of them being white centers obviously... Can anyone put it together?

Their initials are all consonants. What's my prize?

I´d guess Akeem but I am sure the right answer will be something like "player X who was drafted in 1958 was born in Panama-"

This is correct. Born in the Bahamas and selected number one overall by Portland in 1978

Not surprised that a Warriors fan got it since he is the father of Klay Thompson

Hint: he's the only player from his country, so far, to have played in the NBA.
