Get this man a proper nickname ...

[NOVoodoo]

His name doesn't give you much to work with, but his number does.

Agent Zero is taken, but I'm sure there's something there with the #0, if ya'll want to think along those lines...

Lillard Skillard? Ok, I am slapping myself for that one......

If Lyllard Skyllard came to town, I wound attend the show...

The Big O

Please, please, no!

I was watching an Oregon game this year and saw that ya'll (or allegedly Snoop Dogg), have nicknamed De'Anthony Thomas the "Black Mamba."

Really!?!?

Please, don't continue the trend with "The Big O."

It's already bad enough that every up-and-coming prospect wants to rock #23. If I see another tall, athletic player without any actual game rocking the #23, I'm going to be sick to my stomach...

Give the man an ORIGINAL nickname!

...to his credit, allegedly Snoop Lion has been calling him that since BEFORE Kobe started trending this name. But I agree, I just threw it in there for the sake of comparing their early careers.

What about "Hyphy"?!

 

[NOVoodoo]

Dude's from Oakland right? That could actually fit...

And Kobe jacked it from a movie. There are no original nicknames.

Nonsense... we're talking sports, not movies.

De'Anthony Thomas being the "Black Mamba" is akin to DeAndre Jordan being nicknamed "Air Jordan."

I'm sorry,... it's just a shitty nickname. Thomas is good enough to have a nickname that is original to the realm of sports.

It's like LeBron choosing #23. I never understood that one. If LeBron had chosen #85, or something out of the box like that, then everybody in the US would recognize that #85 equals LeBron James. The #23 number choice makes about as much sense to me as De'Anthony Thomas' nickname.

He didn't choose it. It was given to him by Snoop Dog... and supposedly before Kobe had it. And like I said, Kobe jacked it from a movie. It was a stupid nickname in the first place for an athlete.

C'mon... really?!?!

Kobe is universally established in the sports realm as the "BLACK MAMBA."

Wherever the nickname was derived is inconsequential, unless it is jacked from another sports star. You don't think that Snoop Dogg nicknamed him on the basis of Kobe?

I mean, if Karl Malone's nickname, "The Postman," was derived from a movie reference, would it make it okay that everyone started calling Matt Barkley, "The Postman"?

And you know what, Kobe just decided that was going to be his nickname. How fucking lame is that?

From this point on, my nickname will be "Big Penis Badass Motherfucker". Please refer to me as that and only that.

 

[Mediocre Man]

The Big O!

Since he compares to the real Big O so far, why not Lil' O

Malone was "the Mailman" and it was because "he delivered." Not because Kevin Costner made a crappy movie.

Give it time...anyone that deserves a nickname will have it properly develop over time

Ok, so I didn't know that Big O was Oscar Robertson's nickname. My Bad.

Lil O totally works.

 

[julius]

Did someone already say "the savior"?

(Green)

Maybe his nickname should just be his name, because he's good enough he doesn't need one.

You say "Lil O" and I hear "Lilo". Nicknames based on movies are bad, FAMS!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Li'l Big O?

 

[BBert]

I'm not a big nickname fan. But there are a few here that don't bug me.

Oscar Robertson was my first basketball hero. Lill O is not bad considering the early stat comparison and all the O connections.

I like The Omen. O Train made me laugh. I like it actually. We already have the L Train. Batum can be The B Train. It's going to take at least that many connections to get us to the finals.

Dexter isn't a coroner.

Yeah but he still does " unofficial" autopsies

Interesting that this is a thread about nicknames and we all had to give ourselves an S2 nickname. I say we call him The BGCP..... The Black Guy Causin' Panic!

 

[ABM]

Lillard of The (Willamette) Valley?

 

[oldmangrouch]

After what he did to Nash, how can it be anything but "the Omen"????

 

[RoyToy]

The Omen is the best

Lillard seems to really like the Oakland/Ogden/Oregon thing as that's how he chose 0 as his number, so might as well keep the alliteration up with the Omen

He has Omense skills. Er, wait.
