This may be an old man yells at clouds moment, but Nicknames are historically a big part of the sport and it seems like no one really gets a nickname anymore.
If I can wear my homer hat for a minute. Ja Morant is a player than needs a real nickname.
Hailing from Dalzell, SC (home also of Ray Allen), Ja Morant has so many opportunities for a really iconic nickname.
You could go with the Dalzell Dash or even the nickname of Dalzell fits him well. Ja "Razzle Dazzle" Morant.
What player on your team deserves an iconic nickname and what's your submission?
Let's say one day Alex says, "The Globalists have won! We're all gonna die! And you all deserve it! I quit!" Then really walks away and never comes back. He shuts down InfoWars and all the affiliated sites. He moves to some ranch/bunker somewhere, and we never hear from him again. What would JorDan do? And what would happen to Knowledge Fight?
Iβm watching this Penguins vs Blues game right now, and man, Binnington continues to astound me. The guyβs such a child. I forgave him for swinging his stick at that players head last year, called it a fluke. But since then I canβt stop noticing him throwing fits and not taking things well. He just gave up an obviously good goal and lost his shit because someone touched him outside the crease. His reaction caused the coach to challenge, and resulted in a PP goal from the lost challenge. And even then heβs looking at his teammates like theyβre a bunch of idiots. I was really impressed with his play all game until he pulled that shit. Iβve seen him do this kind of thing often in the last year.
Can you imagine if every time someone scored a big goal on Saros he lost his shit and tried to blame people? Even when there might be interference he lets the coaches figure it out and doesnβt press the issue. Thank god for Saros!
Edit: wow yβall. I had no fucking idea so many people hated him as much as me. Good shit.
>Jordan Poole on Moses Moody's 37 points and what the G League can do for a young rookie like him: "It's huge just being able to play a game. I'm just proud he took 28 shots. I never took 28 shots."
>Steve Kerr on Moses Moody's 37 points in the G League tonight: "He's a great shooter and he's shown that in our practices... I'm thrilled that he and JK are playing, getting good reps in SC. There's a reason they were both lottery picks."
For r/NBA fans that don't remember me last year, I was watching the Wizards like the hawk. I am focused on the tangibles that coaches can do, such as altering lineups. Last year, Scott Brooks was being incompetent by playing the worst player in the East over and over. He finally was waived.
I kept posting about it and his play-by-plays. In my view, the team can only perform as well as the worst player on the court. The defense and offense scheme around the worst players. Wizards really took off after benching and waiving Jerome Robinson.

DeAndre Jordan will be the next man up. I will not let him get away with his atrocious play.
Please see my post on 11/25 for the previous game: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/r1pl0l/with_daj_on_the_court_lakers_are_84_net_rating_on/
Lakers should've won by at least 6-10 points by regulation if they never played DAJ. They can always start Dwight and then swap in AD and even LeBron at center like we did before.
Golden State had a strategy of playing their suboptimal lineup as the starting lineup with Zaza Pachulia. Their best lineup was obviously Draymond at center but knew it was not sustainable. Zaza was an enforcer and did a ton of the hustle and dirty work.
DAJ is the complete opposite where he does not hustle, does not box out, cannot catch passes, and he might be worse than Jerome Robinson.
- Where is DAJ? Alex Len is already down the floor. No one to help rebound here. This guy just slacks off so much!

Crazy how 12 years later, Steph is to become the greatest shooter of all-time cementing it with the record against the very team that so desperately wanted and needed to draft the star PG out of Davidson.
