    Am I the first one to come up with that nickname for Afflalo? Also, when he dunks, he's American Airlines!

    Except Arron is only spelled with one A. The third A is from his middle name.

    I think I'll wait for him to actually do something before I worry about a nickname.

    Don't like it; there's no meaning behind pocket aces that applies to him.

    Triple A is better but think that would work if he was a huge muscular big man, not a thin guard.

    I'll just type out AAA and say Afflalo until I hear something better.

    "AA" is easy to type. I'm going with that.
