    He reminds me of a Keanu, "Johnny Utah" from Point Break, kind of vibe.

    I could totally see Leonard tell us "I am an F...B....I.... agent."

    I personally think these are both terrible as well, but I'm not much a nickname guy anyways. I pretty much never use them seriously or when trying to be funny.

    Well shit, you got me there. To be fair though, I don't know if I ever actually called Przybilla the vanilla gorilla, I just needed a username and loved Joel. Plus I get to use pictures of albino gorillas as my avatar, so that was a big plus.

    Over heard him on media day says he doesn't think he deserves it. Seemed like it embarrassed him a little

    Have to disagree. Not sure about your exchange, but Meyers is a very cool, down to earth guy.

    I'm sure he's a cool guy, but this is just from personal experience and from seeing him around the bars and whatnot when he was in Champaign. He was somewhat notorious for being extremely immature.

    Keep in mind, this is 2-3 years ago. Just from listening to him now it seems like he's grown up a bit. I've always had a soft spot for Meyers since we went to the same school, but it was admittedly hard to keep defending him after his second season. I'm extremely glad he's managed to turn the corner, and I'm probably his biggest supporter now.

    Probably because he's afraid of your gang affiliations. :devilwink:

    Well he can drop it now and reclaim it in a few years once he's averaging 22/10 and leading us to the conference finals. ;)

    If Portland put some motion and off the ball screens for cutters around Leonard on the high post, we might see some terrific basketball. But I don't think we will see it. The three point
    shot takes less commitment, and togetherness. My oh my, what Jack Ramsay would do with Mr. Leonard!

    So you are mad at the entire league, then, since the 3pt shot has risen across the board.
