A proposal for a Greg Oden nickname
I realize that I've already weighed in on this issue (my previous opinion was that Greg's nickname should come from Mo Lucas). But it just struck me that there is a beautiful synergy here: Greg has been given Williams' jersey number so we, THE FANS, should give him the name "Buck". That is a real nickname, one that isn't made up by marketers but instead fits the man like a glove. "Buck" has authenticity and links our guy Oden back to our old school warrior.
Other than that, "Treebeard" is very cool.
I'm calling him Buck Oden. Edit: And how did I forget the fact that our guy is from THE Ohio State University BUCKeyes? Beautiful? Yeah, I think so.

Greg Oden + Gold = Goden....
"Greg shoots over Shack... It's Goden!"
"Greg's play has been Goden tonight."
"Greg Goden's O'Neils shot out of here!
NOT in the house that Goden built!"
Or a nickname.
Greg "Goden" Oden.
Or a jingle, like the "Bluebonet" jingle.
"The Blazers game is better,
with Oden the Goden in it."
Or to explain how the Spurs lose to the Blazers.
"There was just to much Goden tonight."

In his interview with Miss Gossip
I like Treebeard too, but I saw Bill Russell called that the other day ; I don't know if that was new or he had been called that in the past.
I was a big Buck Williams fan so it's hard enough to see his number taken without being retired - I'd hate to see his name taken too. (And I just found a spot for my nearly life-size poster of him so it's going back up for the first time in many years.)
