The long-awaited answer...

So after a recent conversation about Ocean's Eleven (the remake), a question came up regarding the scene where Brad Pitt rattles off what they would need to pull off the job. Here's the quote:

Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald... ever!

After doing some research, (mostly found here) they break down as:

"The drivers are Virgil and Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck, Scott Caan) and this makes me think that they are actually the Jethros (because they come from Utah and they aren't exactly the brightest guys ever - aka Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies)."

"I also suspect that the Boesky is Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) after Ivan Boesky, disgraced Wall Street inside trader. Tishkoff, like Boesky knew the insides and workings of a casino, and had plenty of money to sink into pulling off the heist.

"I'm also thinking that the Leon Spinks is Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle) after Leon Spinks the [African American] boxer who defeated Mohammed Ali. Basher is the one who delivers the "knockout punch" with the electromagnetic pulse generator that takes out the city's power supply."

" We already know that the Grease Man is The Incredible Yen (Shaobo Qin), because Ocean and Ryan say it when they are scoping him out.

As for the others, Jim Brown mostly likely means James Brown, meaning they need a black guy (Bernie Mac.) And Ella Fitzgerald could be a reference to playing the piano, meaning light-fingered, referring to the pickpocket (Matt Damon.) Seems like a bit of a stretch, but makes sense....
