I don't know that he really deserves this (I go back and forth), but I've heard some good LMA nicknames since the series ended. Here are a couple: LaMartha LaMattress LaMarginal anybody got anything they want to add to the list?
Thinner - because he "gets off the paint". Doesn't quite work, but there's a funny in there somewhere.
"He's not as good as I want him to be, therefore he's a pussy! Of course, I wouldn't dare say that to his face without the safety of laws to protect me."
I agree, though. I think Roy's a bit of a pussy too, because I want him to be better than a prime Michael Jordan. If only he cared more and was tougher.
It's not something I'm proud of, but I have been known to yell "LaMarcie" at the TV when he throws up yet another fade-away jumper.
Would someone please hook up Rice's backbone to a cord and give him an electric shock every time he calls Aldridge L.A.? He seems on a mission to convert us. He uses it many times per game. Hardly anyone else ever says it. Everyone else knows it means Lakers.
Maybe it's because I don't take it seriously ... but hearing them (or reading them) made me laugh and I think we all need a good laugh about now. I figure this exercise can be a catharsis for some, and maybe we can get all of the hate out of our systems so we can more honestly evaluate him and realize that's he's a very good player on par with Luol Deng and that aint so bad. Wishful thinking I'm sure.
