Jerryism of the Year: Brock Ness Monster

PrintJerry Reynolds is a friend of the site, and before the season we helped him come up with some nicknames for the new Kings. Aykis16 offered up Brock Ness Monster in honor of rookie Jon Brockman, and it not only became the clear-cut choice for Jerryism of the Year, but also the basis of a massive marketing campaign for the franchise. Because of all this, Aykis16 has earned a portion of J.R.'s royalities on the nickname. Unfortunately, 20% of zero is zero.
It really was a banner year for Jerryisms. Ty-riffic. Omri Bomb-ri. Plenty of Beno Drain-os and a few too few Hawesomes. Thanks Heavens for Tyreke Evans. Cass-tastic. (OK, so they all weren't Peabody worthy.)
And 1: StR Game Thread favorite for me? Don-tré.

My favorite Phantomism
The Brocktologist, for the way that he gets up into his opponent. Rise Guys laugh of the year for me – I had to pull the car over.
Favorite Reynolds moment – when Grant described a back-and-forth portion of the game as “a real see-saw battle, Jer,” and Jerry responded, “Uh, Grant, a see-saw goes up and down,” which was followed by seconds of silence, except for the sound of Napes crisping up nicely in the background.
I love me some Jerry Reynolds.

I remember one of the games they were promoting season tickets
Then JR said, “I have the best seat in the house because I get to sit next to the great Grant Napear.” Then it was just more awkward silence until live action resumed.

Personally, I prefer Jewbacca.
But only if he keeps the beard and starts dressing like Vlade Divac

Pretty good.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
I would alter it to be
Butch Casspity and the Cisco Kid.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
Jerry used this once early in the season
When they were talking about Injured Cisco working with Omri.

I'm just disappointed
I never heard a “playa from Judea” from JR.

“Beno Drain-o” is the absolute best because Jerry delivers the phrase like he thinks the cleverest son of a bitch to ever walk this earth. I love it.
“Broctopus.” is second. I’m surely the only one who likes it better than “Brock Ness Monster,” though.
"El once, chico. Eleven."
Brockman was on Rise Guys this morning
Not a big fan of “Broctopus.” Apparently, the last syllable can lend itself to quite the ribbing from teammates.

We'll just have the last syllable be ironic.
Like when you call a ginormously fat man “Tiny.”
"El once, chico. Eleven."
Best nickname not used on TV?

Awe, no love for "Beno Midrange Jumpero"
I think DonTré is awesome. Well done Sims, but I’m kind of partial to JeruSLAM!

Yeah JeruSLAM
That was a pretty darn good one.

It's not Brockness Monster
but it’s fun.

This was truly a great year for nicknames.

Yes it was
You ever check out this thread? Some Spencer nicknames including the never used “The SHaw of I Slam” and the origin of “Shock and Hawes.”

I was a little surprised that "The Soaring Semite" and "Air Jewdon" never got much love.

Some of these grow on you.
I wasn’t crazy about Brockness Monster, at first, but I have to admit that it turned out to be very fitting and very fruitful in terms of a lot of creative ideas and marketing.
I loved Ty-riffic from the inception, as well as Thank Heaven for Tyreke Evans and Reke Havoc.
Although my initial impression of Beno Drain-o was negative, I have to admit that it comes to mind every time Beno makes a basket.
Don-tré is very fitting in the threads, as he frequently hits a 3-point shot.
Hawesome is clever, but since I don’t consider Spencer to be “Awesome,” it rarely hits its mark, for me.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
You can call him
Haaaawwwwes or Hawful.

I'm down with Hawful
there is a difference between the jerryisms and nicknames we use in the game threads. Personally, in the heat of posting on a game thread I can’t really go with a nickname over 7 letters. Beno draino works, but just barely so while I like JeruSlam I’ll never use it.
