    After the game on comcasts "Talking Ball" a female fan suggested calling Armon's Johnson's new nickname should be the "Hammer". I like his aggressiveness and his current situation on the team. I partially agree. :D :ghoti:

    I thought it was already decided. Adam Bjarnaegnensen was saying he needs a nic-name, maybe he's just not in the know.

    Armon Gilliam was "The Hammer". If you want to copy it I guess it's okay.

    Yes, Gilliam was the Hammer, but it's not exactly unprecedented for a name to get recycled -- Dwight Howard getting the Super man label when Shaq had it, comes to mind.

    It crosses sport disciplines too. George Gervin......Chuck Liddell.

    There's only so many good nicknames.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    How about "hopefully a good young prospect, but let's give him some time to develop and forge his identity, therefore organically suggesting a nickname"?

    I think it has a ring. Try describing, aloud, an imaginary game call involving AJ using that nickname. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results.
