Spin - Why Don't These New Generation NBA Stars Have Nicknames?

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Seems like these young bucks aint about that AKA life

Paul George doesnt get a nickname?
Blake Griffin?
Kyrie Irving?
James Harden?
Westbrook?
Aldridge?

Coli exclusives aside, most of em dont have nicknames or just fall back on generic initial/last name combinations (CP3, KD, K.Love, D.Rose)

What happened to the days of The Iceman and Dr. Dunkenstein?

Human Highlight Film

Now we have Big Baby and Swaggy P

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Because those weakass bytches arent worth a nickname. King james, mamba, flash, fundamental, and others that are got aliases.

 

[Houston911]

Paul George - Paul Gorgeous (forgot who came up with that but it was genius)
Blake Griffin - Caramel Shoulders was his old nick name. In honor of these thread I give you "Half-Breed, Half-Amazing"

Thats my point, those are all OLD players, breh. Dont look now but Bron and Wade been in the league a damn decade, and the rest of em already own timeshares in them Larry Holmes Gardens.

The best young players dont have nicknames

 

[Mr. Foxx Foxx]

Swaggy P has is own nickname and his own thread,

Shaq gave Wade the flash nickname.

I'm fine with initials for players like KD and PG ... Hell even LMA

 

[AVXL]

The Coli deemed Paul George, George Paul

Most of these dudes don't have the personality to have great nicknames too, great talents, but boring people otherwise

 

[HHR]

Durantula is quite possibly the worst nickname a superstar has ever had.

I stay calling Kyrie "Uncle Drew"

Blake Griffin has a sense of humor and is all up in commercials. Russ Westbrook doesnt have personality?

Splash Bros only good young players with an official nick

 

[DoubleClutch]

I remember last season they were trying to call Steph Curry "the human torch" and now Dennis Scott always calls him "spicy curry". Not having a Nickname is better than having a bad one

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

People tend to call Kyrie "Uncle Drew" because of the commercials. That's the only one I can think of right now.

[Majestic Pape]

Kyrie Irving has "Uncle Drew"

A lot of people run around calling James Harden "The Beard"

Because we're corny as shyt nowadays.

How about this.

Let's create a directory of sorts of players whose nicknames we give them, and since we got the innanet goin nutz, at least we can say we did our part. Matter of fact, 2 lists, one for the Coli, the other for Houston911 to give flavors to random ball players' shoulders
