Moniker
Larry Bankston has gone by the moniker AJ for several years. He was his fathers namesake and this was the reason that he wanted to distance himself from his father. While growing up many people referred to him as "Little Larry" and this really bothered him because he has stated that "...I am nothing like him. I have never been and I never will." AJ Bankston has stated previously that he chose the AJ moniker because it still provided a deliberate, albeit minute link back to his heritage. The 'A' stands for Allen while the 'J' stands for Junior.
