[Copperhead]

I'm new to the board and don't live in Charlotte. Can someone please fill me in on the nicknames for players used here (Ammo,etc)

[ziggy]

Ammo - Adam Morrison
Crash - Gerald Wallace
Twiggy - Ryan Hollins
Sean May - There are about a dozen weight related nicknames floating around :biggrin:

[ohara831]

I'll give you the ones I know of:

Ammo = Adam Morrison
Hammer = Matt Carroll
Crash, GW, = Gerald Wallace
Lex = Alexis Ajinca
DJ = D.J. Augustin
Felts = Raymond Felton
Krispy Kreme, fat ass, blimp, ect = Sean May
Mek, OK50 = Emeka Okafor
Naz = Nazr Mohammed

If anyone has any to add or update to this please do....:cool:

[SWedd523]

We DO need some new ones for Boris and Raja considering that Mr. Singletary is the designated "little sean":cool:

[bfer]

Dont forget Gumby for Alexis.

[docend24]

I stll like Good Sean more:)

ALT135 for Ajinça (rarely used - press ALT and type 135 to get the reasoning). never heard Gumby and don't know what is supossed to mean.

McMay could be adde to list os May's nicknames (not many positives ones)

and those from previous posts

(apart that the french connection nickname is being established for Diaw-Ajinça duo)

I always thought that DJ needs a better nickname �iDJ's his first name)

so how about

SPIN, cuz DJs always spins the LP, and DJ's so damn quick, he spins the opponent's head!

[TattoodCats4life]

Raja's nickname per his website is "The Exalted One" (Even has a lion crest type logo). I'm going to get one of his t-shirts though, orange logo blue shirt looks wicked and bobcat-y.

[ALong13]

Like Okafor's OK50, DJ signs autographs with DJ14 so that works also...


Gerald Wallace - G-Force
Matt Caroll & at times Ammo, I like to call Brick, but I think I'm the only one...

i tried alt135 and it didnt do anything

[TattoodCats4life]

ç that is alt135.. like in Alexis Ajinça

[Muttley]

I've had trouble with the alt135 thing. Are you supposed to hold Alt? Do you type 135 in order or all at once? Am I a moron? I can't get it to work.

i cant either

it just brings up the file menu

[TheBeagle]

The Saint! I get royalties for that, right? :biggrin:

As far as I know, there's no definitive nickname for anyone; just don't make them too esoteric, and everybody'll get the drift.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Raja stuff, Tattood; the Charlotte gear shirts are pretty sweet!

I believe that Raja is hindi for "prince" (think the tiger in Disney's "Aladdin"), which could also be literally translated to mean "the exhaulted one". Hopefully this means he's not full of himself, but that his parents have thought really highly of him for a while now. I for one believe Beagle's testaments about what MT says, so it's probably the latter case.

Just press Left Alt, hold it and type 135 all at once. i din¨t try it in Linux or with Mac but it should work.

[Muttley]

alexis... damn. I'm using a Dell laptop. Maybe I've got some setting disabled or something. Oh well. Thanks for your help anyways.
