    The Gift is pretty nice, I gotta admit. But it doesn't seem to fit his playing style that much. Seems like a nickname destined for a pass-first PG. Besides, 3 or 5 years from now only Portland and New Jersey will remember they trade his pick for Gerald Wallace.

    God damn that trade was awesome. It seemed like a swindle at the time, and every day it just gets better and better. The Nets are going to be paying Crash $10mil/year through the 2016 season.

    It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year. Plus, I don't care what anyone else says. I am calling him Jelly

    because jam doesn't shake?

    That reminds me of the joke from How I met your mother.

    Sounds like it's time to make a poll--Omen v Gift, nickname grudge match.

    Then lets call David Kahn Jelly... that works better.



    Isn't it a bit early for a thread devoted to deciding his nickname, such as "The Gift"... :sigh: Yuck. That's cringe inducing. What did we decide on for Bayless, TRex or something? Yeah, that was worth it.

    This premature ejac is annoying.. I think there are pills for this.

    After last season, I think we're entitled to a little positive thinking.

    Oh cool, it's Chris Haynes who likes to lump all of us into one category because of one person. Say hi to Dwight for us, will you?

    I thought it was B-Rex, which totally works because he's got tiny arms like a T-Rex, and went extinct in Portland.

    Yes, however I see a difference in positive thinking & nicknaming a guy who hasn't completed training camp 'the gift', but knock yourself out. It's of my opinion that the nickname options being floated around are very very bad.

    Jelly? Is that because Honey & Butter were taken? How about 'the condiment'? Or 'something we spread on toast'? Has a nice ring to it.
