Never Nervous Pervis & Bono

Pervis Ellison

Pervis Ellison (born April 3, 1967 in Savannah, Georgia) is a former college and professional NBA basketball player.

Ellison was nicknamed "Never Nervous Pervis" for his play with the University of Louisville. At 6'9" (206 cm) and 210 lb (95 kg), he started all four years as the center under coach Denny Crum. In his freshman year he led Louisville to its second national championship and was named the Most Outstanding Player — the first time a freshman had ever been awarded that honor (Carmelo Anthony is the only other player to date to have achieved the honor, winning it as a forward with the Syracuse Orange in 2003).

Ellison was made the first overall pick in the 1989 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings. An injury kept him on the sidelines for 48 of 82 games of his rookie year, after which he was traded to the Washington Bullets. (A Sacramento teammate, Danny Ainge, had nicknamed him "Out of Service Pervis.") Although he was assigned as a backup in 1990-1991, the following year he became a starter and earned Most Improved Player honors after averaging twenty points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.68 blocks per game.

Assorted injuries plagued his career, including two knee problems that kept him benched for 29 games in 1992-1993 and 30 games in 1993-1994. As a free agent, Ellison signed with the Boston Celtics in 1994 but didn't play until midway through the season because he was still rehabilitating from knee problems. A broken toe suffered while moving furniture kept him out of most games between 1996 and 1998. After participating in 69 out of a possible 246 games over the final three seasons with the Celtics, he joined the Seattle SuperSonics in 2000 but retired after playing nine games.

Bono

Born with the name of Paul Hewson on 10 May 1960, Dublin, Ireland, Bono is the lead singer and front man for the Irish rock band U2, one of the most successful bands of the 1980s and 1990s. The group's albums include The Unforgettable Fire (1984), The Joshua Tree (1987), Pop (1997) and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2005); their singles include "Mysterious Ways," "Where The Streets Have No Name," and "Beautiful Day." As a public figure, Bono is also known as an earnest advocate for various political causes, in particular world hunger and African poverty. In 2005 he shared Time magazine's Person of the Year award with Bill and Melinda Gates. In 2006 he was awarded an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II.

Bono reportedly got his nickname from Bono Vox, the Latin term for "good voice" and a brand of hearing aid. The other members of U2 include Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton, and Dave Evans (AKA 'The Edge'). Bono joined Sting, Paul McCartney and dozens of other musicians in Bob Geldof's charity supergroup Band Aid; their 1984 single "Do They Know It's Christmas" sold three million copies and raised millions of pounds for famine relief in Africa. Though he has received an honorary knighthood, Bono is not eligible for the formal title of "Sir." Bono is Irish, and that title is reserved for citizens of the UK and the British commonwealth.
