    Rudy's jersey could have "Gay" over the top and under the number 22 should be added "not that there is anything wrong with that."

          I don't think there's anyone on our team right now that might garner a nickname. Guys get names because they're mentioned in the news a lot and are given a shorter moniker to refer them to. Others might have been infamous for something they did and get a name for that. I'm not sure that we have that right now. There might be some nicknames in the forums here because we're all fanboys, but realistically where you put something in and the general public (average fan) looks and says "Ha, that makes total sense."? I can't think of a single player on our team right now that would deserve that.

            Very true, but if the NBA does roll out and nickname jersey game (see the link in the OP), then every player is going to have something, whether it is earned or not. It's easy for LeBron, Wade and Bosh to have something earned, but even Dexter Pittman, Joel Anthony, and Norris Cole are going to have them. That absurdity is part of the entertainment value intended for this thread. I mean, Aaron Gray as "Sex Falcon" or "White Panther"? lol.

              From what I understand, the nickname jerseys are just going to be used for the Heat and the Nets. So we don't really need to come up with realistic ones, just hilarious ones

                Lowry - Captain KLOE
                Gay - Clutch (it's what we hope he can be)
                Derozan - DeRizen One (The Risen One sounds blasphemous but talking about his hops)
                Amir - 'Mir (he plays that mirror defense)
                Valanciunas - Valaciunasty
                Acy - Pocket Aces
                Novak - Trey (obvious reason)
                Hansborough - Psycho T
                Fields - Golden [fields]
                Gray - Gandolf
                Buycks - Tryke (short for tricycle)
                Augustin - DJ remix
                Daye - Light Knight

                  Watch “yo own ass” Valanciunas
                  Acy “DC”
                  Steve “the obligatory white guy who can hit wide open 3s when left wide open” Novak

                    Oh but what if that is just the beginning? Yes, the plan is for 1 game with 2 teams, but can you really see any team not wanting to jump on that bandwagon (think of the jersey sales revenue from that 1 game). It may take years before the Raps are involved in such a game, but like the playoffs, we can always dream in the meantime.

                      Shit, made my eyes water with some of those, good stuff. Seriously though, this is all well and good for commentary and a few laughs, but am I the only one that thinks putting nicknames on jerseys in reality is a stupid f#$%ing idea? I mean, for some guys that have been around awhile and are popular and well known around the league and already have nicknames, I can maybe understand, but what about the rest of the league? Are they just gonna make shit up just for the sake of it? This all seems rather amateur-ish to me for a league that is supposed to be sporting the best professional basketball players on Earth.

                        The NBA is in the business of selling merchandise, in this case some oddball jerseys. Be the first on your block to own one.
