Can we assign credible nicknames 2 individual Hawk

[Guest Walter]

and the team as a whole ONCE AND FOR ALL?!?

I love Horford's nick (The Godfather) and SW (The Landlord) is good (but also isn't lived up to) but the remaining nicknames leave alot to be desired (J-Chill, J-Smoove). Please, not only should we come up with some better nicknames but we should "back them" in hopes that they get utilized.

I like "Agent Smith" but may already be too dated. Still, better than J-Smoove IMO.

Marvin needs a nickname...BAD.

Law should be easy enough. Law & Order has been posted.

I don't have any answers here. I just think we need to help marketing a little. Maybe we can further brainstørm and then post a poll individually. Some may even prefer the status quo.

I believe Marvin is "Picture Perfect".

I like the Agent Smith idea. Also reminds you of "the matrix" (another player with a similar skillset). There is already an Agent Zero though...

[Guest Walter]

Marvin Gay song title as Marvin William's nickname.

"There's only three things for certain. Tax, death, and trouble man"

Also...

"...I'm ready to make it" (I sure as hell hope so.).

With decent nicknames some individual player marketing might be beneficial. I.E. a billboard with MW as "Trouble Man" with that tagline.

...and I can hardly think of anything better for him.

There has to be a better one as well as one that he can live up to.

I can also see "textbook" to represent his shooting form since he's going back to school.

For ZaZa how about " Unfrozen Caveman Center" he looks kind of like a Neanderthal man

He's unfrozen? When? By Whom!?!

Then just "Neander-tall" or "Caveman Z".

I heard this somewhere else, but it is perfect.

Josh Smith is AEROSMITH!

[AnnArborHawk]

I vote for calling Marvin "Hype".

I think you're stuck with J-Smoove and J-Chill, can't see ever getting enough momentum to change those...

[AnnArborHawk]

And if I had the power to give Josh Smith a new nickname, I'd have to borrow a line from Talladega Nights.

"They call me the Magic Man. Now you see me. Now you don't."

Some ideas:

For Law the legal names are cool, but how about "ACE" since at the end of games he's our ace in the hole.

I do like Agent Smith. But there still has to be something better.

Its too bad that Stacy Augman was already Plastic Man as that would be perfect for Childress.

If you want to continue with the Z to caveman, then we should go with Captain Caveman. For those of you too young to have watched cartoons on Saturdays in the late 70s, this was actually a cartoon. The PA system then could do that caveman yell thing from the cartoon.

Solomon could be "Slim", but that sucks. (Does it really matter since he won't be on the court that much?)

My daughter calls Marvin Sasquatch because the dude has some damn big feet. Not sure that would catch on here though.

Well just my two cents.

LOL . . "Hype" Williams is a music video producer. Can't use that one.

Everyone knows Zaza Pachulia should be Patches

"Hack!"

"Why doth Yi hackeths me so?" exclaimed Dwight Howard as he makes his 5th trip to the line.

4 fouls in 16 minutes so far for Yi.

As for Marvin, just make it simple, and call him "Deuce-Four" or "Deuce-Fo'"

[jerrywest]

If Josh Smith isn't Spiderman, nobody is.

Marvin can be called "Rainbow" for his picture perfect arc.

When JJ plays with Acie,Marvin,JS and Horford we can call them "JJ and the fantastic Four"

For Acie I like "ACE". It sounds perfect.

JJ deserves a great name but I can't think of any. Someone who can do it all.

[sick_five]

I think Marvin's is "Marvelous" Marvin.

Acie could be a called bunch of names. "Ice."

Solomon is already "Solo."

J-Smoove and J-Chill are gona stay, but yo could call Smith, the "Second Coming," as in the 2nd coming of the Human Highlight Reel...

[Dexmethylphenidate]

I like "The Enforcer" for Josh Smith.

[BusBoyIsBack]

Acie Law's name is cool enough already

JJ

Marvelous Marvin

JSmoove/High 5

The GodFather
