    Why not just simply "Rex" (or "Rexxx" if you prefer)? It has the T-Rex angle, a pitbull-type sound, is Latin for "king", and homophonous with "wrecks" which is what he does to a defense. Why make it any more complicated than that?

    Because it implies he has little arms, which is undesirable in the NBA.

    I like Bayless for now. Nicknames shouldn't be forced. The best ones are the ones that just happen, and stick for whatever reason.

    I'm not sure he needs a nickname like "The Blade" that sounds kind of ridiculous. JB is just fine for now. I do think they should play part of the chorus from "A Bay Bay" whenever he makes a shot at the Garden though...That would be great.

    :clap:

    I was going to suggest some variation on "John Holmes", based on the same logic. Jerryd "the wad" Bayless?

    After the way he abused Tony Parker, how about, "Eva Longoria's new love interest"?

    "Bulldog Bayless" love how he drives in the lane and looks for contact and is still able to finish. Can't wait till we get to see both he and Roy playing together. Two attacking guards that can shoot from the outside.

    Actually, I kinda like the idea of a joint nickname....."Slash and Burn" has a nice ring to it.

    Thank you. I just hate it when people try to invent a nickname and force it on a player. Nicknames just happen. People already call him B-Rex, which fits him pretty well. B-Rexxx for his penetration, fine. If someone deserves a nickname that's worth a shit, it will happen naturally.
