I didn’t know where to put this so I started a new thread.

Speaking of our rooks of '18, I heard they were kicking around a nickname for all three ... T.K.O.

Personally, I'm totally against the self-given nickname so I hope they thought better of the notion.

They did not give that to themselves. I think Baze did. I posted and quoted it from one of the early post draft interviews in a draft thread here. They had to tell Trae what it stood for and everyone got a good chuckle,

? nice! TKO!

Definitely like it.  One of the very rare "initials" nicknames that works for me because TKO actually means something unlike JT23 or whatever.

I can dig it TKO.

I only brought it up to denounce it and all you jacklegs love it.

SMH.  Givin' all you the double-bird right now.

It’s slick but I won’t utter it until they win a playoff series as an underdog.

As long as they live up to it I'm cool with it. I'm sure Prince, Collins, Dorsey, Bembry and Baze thought "if these 3 live up to there hype". It's going to be the total knock out punch we need to be better this coming season and in the future.
