Splitter Nickname?

[PM5K]

Does this cat have a nickname?

If not I was thinking:

Banana Splitter

Or

Eye Of The Tiago


....

[JR3]

Does he rap? He could be Tiago SPITTER!

[Obstructed_View]

Could he play a game in the NBA first?

[DesignatedT]

golden god.

[PM5K]

Does he rap? He could be Tiago SPITTER!

Ooh, very intriguing. Tony raps, maybe they can start a group if Timmy can rap too: 3T (Tony, Tiago, Timmy).

[PM5K]

Could he play a game in the NBA first?

Oh hell no, the nickname comes first, we have until tonight so hurry.

[NASpurs]

Split Her

[lefty]

The Defenses Splitter.
Ass Splitter (RJ approves)

[JR3]

Could he play a game in the NBA first?

I was going to respond like this, but then I looked in the rule book and there is no rule stating that the guy has to play an NBA game first... Many players have their nickname long before their first NBA game.

[PM5K]

I lol'd

[PM5K]

then I looked in the rule book and there is no rule stating that the guy has to play an NBA game first...

Yup, exactly right my friend. Page 36, paragraph 24 subsection 36 states exactly that.

[lefty]

The electric splitter

[PM5K]

Tiago "Venom" Splitter.

Seriously though, the guy must already have a nick name right?

[NASpurs]

Tiago in Brazil: Butt Splitter

I was bored.

[PM5K]

Tiago in Brazil: Butt Splitter

I was bored.

So you're saying he's gay? I'm telling.

[TJastal]

the spanish stallion

[NASpurs]

Tiago Splitter and Gary Neal: Running the Train in Brazil co-staring George "Tripod" Hill and Richard Jefferson

[PM5K]

the spanish stallion

That sounds kinda gross.

[z0sa]

Splitter is a badass name in its own right.

[NASpurs]

I don't have nicknames. Just bad porn names and titles apparently. What was the point of this thread again?

[lefty]

San Tiago

[PM5K]

What was the point of this thread again?

I don't know, I forgot.

[Hooks]

His nickname is The Golden God.

[PM5K]

Hopefully he wants to add some gold to his collection:

[ohmwrecker]

His nickname is The Golden God.

No, it's not.

[PM5K]

What's it supposed to mean though?

[sananspursfan21]

san tiago

[PM5K]

Until he's got a ring it's gonna have to be The Golden Prince. Timmy is The Golden God around here.

Already suggested

[MarCowMar]

Tiago Sitter, cuz you know, he's always sitting on the bench.

[ohmwrecker]

3d7dfVfcvo4

Just because some radio douche called him "Golden God" doesn't make it his nickname. I really hope it doesn't stick because it is really fucking lame.

[DesignatedT]

lol calm down bro.

[JR3]

How did the Tiago name originate? Did someone's Tia go somewhere cool?

[PM5K]

Yeah it's almost as bad as the name Cayden.

[PM5K]

How did the Tiago name originate? Did someone's Tia go somewhere cool?

Someone's Tia go somewhere and Split her legs.


:rollin

[JR3]

How did the Tiago name originate? Did someone's Tia go somewhere cool?

I'll accept my Corny award now. Thank you.:king

[Obstructed_View]

Tiago "boneca de porcelana" Splitter

[PM5K]

I think the problem we have here is were using English words for a guy from Brazil that speaks Portuguese.

How bout Vencedor, it means winner in Portuguese

[arles]

Banana Splitter FTW :ihit

[PM5K]

Tiago "boneca de porcelana" Splitter

Damn you're already ahead of me, but porcelain doll?

Anything other than The Splitmeister is not worthy.

Based on this cultural info of Portuguese people your initial comments wouldn't seem fitting.
Im no good with Portugese but It appears Tiago is a reserved guy and doesn't carry any nicknames unless they are untold from childhood or something.
Branca Enchilada?

Pressure much?

Hey the article said they weren't expecting much, and him just being out there was great because the wait has been so long.

But yeah you're right, that's non pressure pressure.

[JR3]

So guess giving Tiago a nick name will remain a Split decision. lol

When your name is Tiago Splitter . . . do you really need a nickname?

[PM5K]

When your name is Tiago Splitter . . . do you really need a nickname?

I don't know if you need one but with a name like that I wouldn't count on one.

We can rip the Chris Paul nick name and call him TS22, except it sounds like Tropical Storm, and who wants to be a tropical storm when you can be a hurricane?

[mark of a champion]

Dude can get out on the break and run, how about... T-GO

[PM5K]

Dude can get out on the break and run, how about... T-GO

That's what the refs are gonna say when he starts his complaining.

[bigdog]

Every time I hear his name, I think of Master Splinter from Ninja Turtles.

[Obstructed_View]

Damn you're already ahead of me, but porcelain doll?

:lol Nothing else sounded good. I typed stuff into google translate for like ten minutes. That was the translation for "china doll". The translation for "man pretty" was the next coolest.

[AlleyOopNazi]

Just found this on wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_name
"Some typical Portuguese hypocoristics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocoristic) (the ones marked with * are almost exclusively Brazilian):....


Tiago = Tiaguinho, Ti, Guinho*"

So the Guinho would be the exclusive Brazilian hypcoristic for his name. I like Ti better

credible, no. But are we at ST any better? Uhhhh...

[PM5K]

:lol Nothing else sounded good. I typed stuff into google translate for like ten minutes. That was the translation for "china doll". The translation for "man pretty" was the next coolest.

I typed in new guy and it came back with new guy...

[AlleyOopNazi]

lol Master Splitter ^^ thats funny

[rayray2k8]

Golden God!

[AlleyOopNazi]

Golden God is too anti-semitic lolz

[Cessation]

At least half the population of San Antonio will agree on the Golden God.

[bigdog]

lol Master Splitter ^^ thats funny

Master Splitter has to be his nickname. Its just too awesome.

[JR3]

I vote Master Splitter. I like it.

[In-SPUR-Raider]

Master Splitter has to be his nickname. Its just too awesome.


Actually, there's 4 girls in the Silver & Black Pack that wear black turtle shells with silver lining. They call themselves "The Spurtles"

So with fans already dressing up as Ninja Turtles, I say... MASTER SPLITTER IT IS!! lol

[#2!]

Tiago Fucking Splitter. His name is awesome by itself.


But the best ones in here are San Tiago, and Master Splitter (though I don't think most people would get it w/out an explanation).

[tp2021]

Actually, I think more people would get the Ninja turtles reference than would need an explanation.

- Tiaguinho means little Tiago and he's a 7'0 guy so...
- Males shouldn't call him by "ti". Usually only girls call someone named Tiago as "Ti". You'd look like a gay.

Guinho doesn't work for a guy named Tiago... its just a mistake by the person who wrote the article.

Btw for those interested Tiago in its origins means "god's gift"

[bigdog]

I'm surprised you guys liked the name. :lol
Ever since they drafted him the name Master Splitter comes to mind when they talk about him.

[stxspurs]

Ooh, very intriguing. Tony raps, maybe they can start a group if Timmy can rap too: 3T (Tony, Tiago, Timmy).

too late

[AlleyOopNazi]

yea, but all the blue-heads won't get it

[SplitterHook]

thats why wiki sucks

Nah, "tiaguinho" and "ti" are real nicknames. Only "guinho" is wrong.

You could call him thiagão (big tiago) instead of tiaguinho(little tiago), lol

Still I bet his mom call him tiaguinho, lol. "Ti" also works but you need to be a real close friend/family member or just a girl. I have a cousin named Iiago and I used to call him "Ti" when we were kids but not after we grew up...

Too fucking awkward, lol.

When I first saw him playing for the Brazilian NT at the age of 15 I thought "splitter" was his nickname, derived from Master Splinter. lol.

Later I found it was his real name. Master Splitter looks cool, lol.

With a badass name like Tiago Splitter, I'm not sure he needs a nickname.

That being said, the Turtles fan in me is getting on the Master Splitter bandwagon.

I want to see some baseline bums dressed as Nunja Turtle Spurs and Master Splitter, i would totally LAWL knowing that it came from ST.com forums

[5in10]

Tiago splitter the brazilian hitter.

[Hooks]

His OFFICIAL nickname is "The Golden God", but I guess he can have two (Master Splitter). Shaq has more than one nickname-"Superman" "The Diesel", Kobe-"Rapist" "Black mamba", Garnett-"KG" "The Big ticket" etc.

Do have any kind of credible citation to support this claim? I will accept nothing less than video of Splitter calling himself "Golden God". Until then, please refrain from talking out of your ass.

[AlleyOopNazi]

call him a golden god and God will smite you down. I aint doin it

[DJB]

Taco Splitter

Splitters one of those guys where their last name is the best nickname that he could possibly get.

I'm going to wait and see if he even plays tonight and how he does. Until then I'm going to try and think of something that rhymes with Jon Koncak.

[Cessation]

Don't hate on the Golden God.

Master Splitter is kind of childish and unoriginal, ninja turtles, i mean, come on, Golden God is appropriate and funny, its not being said in all seriousness.

[rascal]

I haven't seen a good nickname yet. A good part of the fan base won't relate to Ninja turtles. Golden God sounds gay.

[rascal]

Coming up with a nickname for Splitter doesn't look easy from the responses here.

I have a couple of good nicknames for Anderson. "Lights Out" or "3Ball".

[8FOR!3]

Tiago "The Splitmeister" Splitter
James "Lights Out" Anderson

[Captain Oblivious]

Tiago "Bone" Splitter

[Cry Havoc]

The Atom.

Anytime he has a hot game we can say he's going nuclear on the other team.

"Tiago's really splitting some Laker atoms tonight."

[TJastal]

how bout 'lunchpail'? or the 'brown-baggin' brazilian?'

[Cry Havoc]

Come on, people. The ATOM. It's completely original and it makes Tiago sound like a freaking nuclear bomb.

Yep. When your real name is cooler than most nicknames, you don't need one.
