Something to do while we wait...

Well folks, the lockout is only a few days old and already I’m bored.  So, here’s a little something to pass the time.  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Nicknames

 

Yes, all great players need a great nickname whether it’s King James or the Black Mamba or even Shaq Diesel/Big Cactus.  As far as I’ve heard, we don’t have a lot of great nicknames on the Blazers (especially now that "The Vanilla Gorilla, Joel Przybilla" and "Penderbeast" are no longer among us…)  So I propose we come up with a few.   I’d suggest that we aren’t likely to find much better than "Crash" or "Wes Money" but how about for Aldridge, Batum, Oden…Mills, Williams, even B-Roy could use an upgrade.  And let’s not forget our new players either (though I really like "Jon Threebler" for the new kid).

 

Here are few good ones I’ve heard…any suggestions?

 

LMA: La-All-Star, L-Train

 

Oden: Old Man Oden…that’s about it

 

Batum: Batum-shakalaka

 

Mills: Patty Cakes
