Armon's New Nickname

[Nate Dogg]

After the game on comcasts "Talking Ball" a female fan suggested calling Armon's Johnson's new nickname should be the "Hammer". I like his aggressiveness and his current situation on the team. I partially agree.

Rice and MB have been calling him that the whole road trip, I like it! STOP.......... HAMMER TIME!

I thought it was already decided. Adam Bjarnaegnensen was saying he needs a nic-name, maybe he's just not in the know.

This forum thought it should be the Hammer months ago

Armon Gilliam was "The Hammer". If you want to copy it I guess it's okay.

Yes, Gilliam was the Hammer, but it's not exactly unprecedented for a name to get recycled -- Dwight Howard getting the Super man label when Shaq had it, comes to mind.

Walt Frazier........ Clyde Drexler

Walt Frazier........ Clyde Drexler

It crosses sport disciplines too. George Gervin......Chuck Liddell.

There's only so many good nicknames.

How about "hopefully a good young prospect, but let's give him some time to develop and forge his identity, therefore organically suggesting a nickname"?

I think it has a ring. Try describing, aloud, an imaginary game call involving AJ using that nickname. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results.

You've got my vote.

I know the female caller and they have been calling him Armon Hammer ( arm & Hammer) since Summer league.

You're just a blast at parties, aren't you?

 

[Duckhook]

How about "Fire Marshall", because he shuts shit down????

 

[ABM]

Does anyone else think he kind of looks like Eric Snow? (physically speaking)

Call him Armon "Cliff Harris" Johnson

Of course I am. I've tried using that nickname in imaginary game calls at parties...it kills.

But, TBH, I don't think I'm taking an anti-fun position. I like nicknames...I just think that ones given to players the moment they enter the league or join the team tend to sound forced. I prefer a nickname that proceeds from an appreciation of the player's style.

A guy that comments on Barrett's blog came up with Armonizer. I kind of like that. He Armonized the Bucks!

 

[Further]

I think his Nickname should be "Jack"
Or "ballpeen"


Or take another route, and call him "The Deodorizer"
