We Need a New Nickname for "Chief"

[e_blazer]

Based on his propensity for wild-assed drives into traffic around the basket, I'm currently favoring, "FUCK NO!!!"

Who are the Chefs?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Chief is a cultural appropriation. You need to check your privilege at the door, yo.

 

[Chris Craig]

I call him "freaq" or "freak" or Al freak Aminu" though it's Al Farouq and pronounced far-ook...but I thought it was close enough, and it fits

He needs to be fined every time he takes more than 3 dribbles.

Like a shock collar of sorts but hit his wallet.

An actual shock collar might not be a bad idea.

I keep hearing about his defense. Maybe he needs to change positions though, as a PF he is not very good at all and IMO is hurting more than helping. Not that we have good options at the position.....Yet.

He plays (as does the team) a good deal better when he is at the 3

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

I was thinking we should call him Radar (green font)....

The team played great last year with Animu at the four because he wasn't terrible defending bigger forwards and he added another three-point shooter to the court. He was our Harrison Barnes. Now that his three-point shot has disappeared, his viability as a small ball 4 (or a normal ball 3) is waning.

I would add him to the list of trade-able players. Although if he came off the bench he would be fine.

The Queef?

 

[barfo]

If you want to get rid of him, how about Fire Chief?

I thought Aminu's nickname on s2 was "The Catapult".

Maybe Trebuchet?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Maybe something like The Nigerian Nightmare.

That could be both good and bad, kind of like Aminu's game. When he'd good, he gives the opponents nightmares, when he's not, he gives his coach, teammates and fans nightmares.

I'm wondering if you have any statistical evidence of that?

 

[riverman]

Slypokerchief would have been my choice

Isn't Meyers already using that one? (Fire Meyers...)

 

[theprunetang]

His shot reminds me of a V-2 rocket.

[BigGameDamian]

Ranger?

 

[Nikolokolus]

 

[BlayZa]

Al-Farouq Aminu

I'll-FireOffABrick Aminute

 

[julius]

"Pass to guard" is my nickname for him.

 

[WillG]

I like "The Catapult" - very fitting.

When I'm watching the game:
Al-Farouq Aminu

Then he gets possesion of the ball:
Ah Fook 'ereweGo!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

"Fast Brick"

 

[dviss1]

Really good players and really poor players have nicknames. IMHO Aminu doesn't fit either description (really good/poor player).

He doesn't have a nickname. We're simply saying his birth name in English.
