    I do like the idea of a Klingon related nickname but it should be something different then just changing 1-2 letters.

    If he gets a solid block or has lock down defense, I'm calling him Cling Wrap.

    People on reddit are already nicknaming him Donovan Clegane, named after "The Mountain" from Game of Thrones. Because of my affinity for Donovan's music, every time Clingan enters the game or heads back to thr bench I'll be singing, "First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is" in my head.

    The Hurdy Gurdy Man is a GREAT album. Title track, obviously, but also Get Thy Bearings - it might actually be my favorite track of his. That one and Sunshine Superman's Season of the Witch.

    I saw him live many times...a lifelong fan...last time I saw him was in San Francisco at the Palace of Fine Arts opening for Yes...he was solo and just played acoustically but that voice is just amazing! I loved his album Songs for Children from Scottish Children's songs like Happiness runs and the Magpie

    Do you believe there is a chance he'll plop someone's eyes out on the court?

    Clingan is wearing 23 because he can't wear 32.

    Last player to wear 32 for the Blazers was a tall white center.

    That would be a flagrant foul for sure.
