Player Nicknames

[PtldPlatypus]

The Rip City Mornings crew has been talking about nicknames for our new guys. Surely there's more creativity here than on their show. Anyone got anything?

 

[TBpup]

Some already have nicknames and Rip City mornings has borrowed from the boards already from the sounds of it.

 

[Hobbesarable]

[Nikolokolus]

'Eddy' for Ed Davis. Nice, right?

 

[B-Roy]

I remember we called Miles Plumlee Plumlajuwon a few years back when he kept killing us. Maybe we can adapt that for his brother.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Evidently, Allen Crabbe goes by Cool Breeze.

I hope he earns the nickname Plumquille Oneal.

Does that mean Dame is the Snake Doctor?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

That's the name of his hair style in the Supercuts binder.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Apparently Ed Davis went by Big Boss Man during his time with the Grizzlies.

Unfortunately for him that nickname is taken by Dame.

I loved that guy back when I was a kid!!

 

[Hobbesarable]

I loved that guy back when I was a kid!!

He was the Boss Man that's for sure. Do you remember when he formed a huge tag team with Akeem as the Twin Towers?

 

[magnifier661]

Crabby Patty!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Incredibly, no. I remembered him winning the first Summer Slam, but I had forgotten all about his tag team work until I read his wikipedia page. Memory has been jogged now though.
