30Q: What Nicknames/Catchphrases Will StR and Jerry Reynolds Come Up With?

PrintWe're asking 30 questions about the Kings' 2010-11 season.
Last year, a nickname invented by Aykis16 here at StR and made famous by Jerry Reynolds got huge attention -- even Shaq gave it a nod: Jon Brockman, the Brock Ness Monster.
A perfect marriage of brevity, wit and truth, Nessie became the centerpiece of a marketing campaign built around the team's 10th man.
With that said, this is a serious topic. Use this thread to provide ideas or suggestions as to nicknames for the new Kings, or new nicknames for returning Kings. No need to remind us of existing nicknames (Reke Havoc, Boogie. El Flaco), and please keep it light-hearted and avoid being too critical. We're all winners, especially you, champ.

A lot of people will be looking for Cousins to mess up this season. Some will even provoke him.
He’s the DeMarked Man.

Or simply...
DaMarked Man, yes?
I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one’s self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one’s own powers.

I looked forward to DMC's DMZ
For all of you non-military folks that is De-Militarized Zone. It exists between the Koreas as that war never ended and they constantly send troop in to test each other.

If he was more defensive oriented I like it

It is more like you enter that zone and it gets him riled up
The North and South Koreas would almost re-start the war by sending their troops into the DMZ.. It would cause battles that escalated…
It is all about battles. DMC is going to battle if you get into his space. Stay out of the DMZ. Cause yeah that will start a battle you are not prepared to finish.

Jerry has tried to use
‘Butch Casspi and the Cisco Kid’ (which I take half credit for) but Cisco and Casspi weren’t on the court all that much together last year.
I’m working on a Jeter name that doesn’t involve feces. . . .

The nickname kingpin is in the house.
Samuel Dalembert – SamWow! (you’ll say Wow! every time), Dali-Slama (I think section or kfan came up with this one)
DeMarcus Cousins – Boogie is his nickname, but there are some Jerryisms and other nicknames: DeMonster (credit TZ with that), Red Flags. I’ll have to give this one some more thought.
Darnell Jackson – Death Nell (because if he’s in the game, you know its going really good or really bad), The Juice Man (For some reason I just like the sound of Darnell “the Juice Man” Jackson)
Hassan Whiteside – Inspector Gadget (go-go gadget arms), S.W.A.T. (Shots with Altered Trajectories), Stretch, Hassan Upside, Hassan Weakside
Donald Sloan – Abominable Sloanman
Antoine Wright – Wright Guard
Pooh Jeter – Saint Jeter the Rock (Spin-off of St. Peter the Rock, except in Jeter’s case Rock doesn’t mean foundation of the catholic church, it means the basketball)
Luther Head – Lex Luther
Marcus Landry – Bowler Hat (to go with Carl’s Top Hat)

I love when he says “Ty Evans!”
But I can imagine when DeMarcus blocks a shot on one side and sprints to the other side of the court and gets a dunk…“this kid is a monster! Boogie Monster!”

Going to go juvenile and Random
Jeter: Teddy Ruxpin is on fire from downtown
Marcus Landry: The Other One (i.e. [de]marcus, Landry)
Umm... I thought we were officially referring to Voison as the Chick Replacing Amick at the Paper? or CRAP, for short.
I'm still all for calling Boogie "Ol' Hickory"

When Cousins is having a good shooting night
You’ll hear Jerry say “DeMarcus is on de mark tonight!”

You have no idea
I want to photoshop a Star Wars poster with Kings players. But it’ll be another week or so before I’m set up to do so.

I don't expect Jerry to use this
but in game threads I plan on referring to Cousins as “Gift of Kahn”. I also think Kings fans should start greeting each other with “Thanks be to Kahn”.

Thought up a new one for Tyreke
I even went ahead and did a search, but didn’t come up with any matches.
Whenever Tyreke blows by an opponent, they’re…

Interesting idea by machine translator
Several months ago, a google translator I’ve use to share paper in hebrew with StR, proposed a cool translation for Omri family name. It called him “The Money”. Revamping “The Answer” patent, kinda.
Hassan "Chastity Belt" Whiteside
Because he keeps balls away from the hole.

I could see Jerry just calling DMC "Cuz." It's delightfully country.
Another “Dalem-BLOCK.” I’m trying to follow up “Bomb-ri” with a real winner.
Antoine Wright heading to the line after being hacked certainly begs to be called “And one Wright.”
I am hoping against all logic that Carl shows up with a head full of dreadlocks, only to hear Jerry call him “Knots Landry.”
The rest of my ideas revolve around the Kings signing someone named Dingus McGhee as a free agent, so I’ll just defer until that actually happens.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen. And for a limited time, every third person who follows me on Twitter (andy_sims) gets a free ice cream cone.
Which I will eat.
Just a guess
I’m thinking either of these will be use by Jerry or sign lady.
DaMarcus is DA MAN.
And the Rook saves the Kings
And that's wassup.

Not sure what the context will be
but it’s absolutely certain that at some point Jerry will use “Boogie Woogie”
Here is a few:
Hassan as Slim Pickins or maybe Stretch (Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards
)
How about “Looks like Pooh had his honey today.” Cause that is better than “Pooh has a case of the runs…”
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
Only problem is Hassan is not slim anymore.
Dude has seriously bulked up and likely will continue to do so.

He could still be stretch...
I was thinking him gaining 25 lbs might not show up that much, but it sounds like it did. Good for him.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
He looks more bulky than Dalembert to be honest.
Author of the Pick and Scroll. Follow me on Twitter here.
Cool!
Most long and tall guys have long muscle tissue. Makes it really hard to bulk up. If he has short muscle fibers and can bulk up he will be a monster in no time.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
For Utter Cheese, Kiddos.
Pooh Jeter – The Runs. Because he’s fast. Really fast. Like how you would be when you’ve got the runs.
Hassan Whiteside – The Hassassin. Killing you softly with his swat. OR…
Hassan Whiteside – The Sultan Of Swat.
DeMarcus Cousins – The Cousinator. A villain who becomes a hero. Also an unstoppable force in the future.
Marcus Landry – Laundry. Because he’s filthy (in a good way).
This.

I like the Sultan of Swat
I can see him Photoshopped into a Swat guy.

Awesome!
Damn, how did I miss that. As always, Akis, you are ahead of the curve. Job well done!!

I'm a fan of "The Hassassin".

Oh. Oops.
(I think I watched every game last season)
OK, Mustang, I get it...
I’m a plagiarist. I assure you it was accidental. Has anyone suggested “Evans Almighty”? Also how come Jerry never called Casspi “the Zohan”? That is without a doubt the best nickname in professional sports!
