    From Casey's Forward Center Blog, a very cool post about what the Blazers players would like their "jersey nickname" to be. Some of them are surprising and some were obvious. What are your thoughts?

    I'll just post a few for a conversation-starter. (Click on this link to Casey's blog to see all 15 guys)

    I like L Smooth much better than L Train.

    He's soooo awesome! I love that about him. Humble yet confident. Never knew those could be used in the same breath for nba players

    Of course all the white guys are too "traditional" for nicknames on their jerseys.

    He should have "Przybilla" as his nickname... just for fun.

    CJ and Watson didn't want nicknames on their jersey's either. Freeland and Claver just said they've never had a nickname. It looked to me like Leonard and Freeland didn't want one out of respect for the game. Nothing wrong with that.

    I don't know why, but when I read Leonard's quote, all I could think about was him in the scene from Office Space, "No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked putting a nickname on your jersey like that, man."
