Nickname Nomination for Kawhi Leonard

[GSH]

I don't know if Kawhi has received a good nickname, but if he has I haven't heard it. I like PoundingTheRock, but "Luau" sucks. And "The Human Avatar" is too long and not so catchy. (Even Amare knew to use STAT instead of "Standing Tall And Talented".)

During the game tonight, I heard Bill Land refer to him as "The Aztec". I know it's because he went to SD State, but I thought, "Hey, that's not a bad nickname." Sort of like "The Chief" for Robert Parrish. I always think of Aztecs as being kind of cold-blooded, so that part fits.

Maybe there's already one that I don't know about. Maybe Kawhi is such a bad-ass that he doesn't need a nickname. But I like "The Aztec" better than anything else I've heard, so I'm throwing it out for official consideration.

[timvp]

KY because fans of other teams are Jelly their team didn't draft him.

[ajballer4]

Kawhibunga

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I been calling him The Kid, or WMD

[joeyjfive]

Every time he scores or makes a play on defense I just shout out the most random names for him. Kaw-weiner in ur mouth, Kaw-wenus, Kaw-why not, all these suck tbh.

[Beanzamillion21]

Mitt's :wtf

[Russ]

I thought George Hill had a "deer in the headlights" look.

After the trade, Kawhi's expression looks completely different -- like the headlights the deer is looking into.

So my nickame for Kawhi (with his big blank eyes) is "Headlights."

Kawhi "Headlights" Leonard. :toast

[Dingle Barry]

Kawondor

[tenbeersbold]

Kawaii....there done

[DieMrBond]

Kawhibunga

The first time I saw someone write this, I laughed. It's easily the best nickname for him.

[jjktkk]

Silent Assassin.

[TwelveGs210]

How about "The One Who Is Annointed"..its pretty catchy, admit it.

[Bill_Brasky]

Plastic man!!

[angelbelow]

I like (The) Aztec.

It's catchy and its unique.

[Darkwaters]

(Even Amare knew to use STAT instead of "Standing Tall And Talented".)


Amare uses "STAT" for "Standing Tall and Talented"?

STAT is already an acronym and he can't steal it. It stands for "Sooner than already there". Give me five units of O negative PRBC on this patient, STAT!

Thats like nicknaming Dejuan Blair "Large old lumberer" and calling him "LOL" for short.

[capek]

Just riffing here...

Klondike. Alliterative, cold and sweat, just like Kawhi's game.

...meh, that's all I got lol

[mikekim]

I don't know if Kawhi has received a good nickname, but if he has I haven't heard it. I like PoundingTheRock, but "Luau" sucks. And "The Human Avatar" is too long and not so catchy. (Even Amare knew to use STAT instead of "Standing Tall And Talented".)

During the game tonight, I heard Bill Land refer to him as "The Aztec". I know it's because he went to SD State, but I thought, "Hey, that's not a bad nickname." Sort of like "The Chief" for Robert Parrish. I always think of Aztecs as being kind of cold-blooded, so that part fits.

Maybe there's already one that I don't know about. Maybe Kawhi is such a bad-ass that he doesn't need a nickname. But I like "The Aztec" better than anything else I've heard, so I'm throwing it out for official consideration.

Without looking at anyone's responses on this thread...what about "T.H.A. Aztec"?

[mikekim]

KY because fans of other teams are Jelly their team didn't draft him.

I vote this for his slogan that goes with whatever nickname is settled upon by fans.

[Proxy]

I think his first name is fine... Kawhi is original sounding enough. Manu is just Manu. Kawhi is just Kawhi.

[mudyez]

I'm going the nba2k way: "Number 2"














































uhhh....wait!!!!

:D

[jiggy_55]

Lol me and my bro use "Kawhi Hawaii" haha it's just catchy and cool. You say the ending of "Hawaii" like you would say Kawhi :lol. So you're not using the actual pronunciation of Hawaii.

[Kuestmaster]

Kawhibunga

this

[Kamnik]

i like (the) aztec.

It's catchy and its unique.

+1

[mountainballer]

CONDOR

[siraulo23]

The Aztec and of course...





.

Kawhibunga

:lol

[Doctor J]

Do you guys know that 'kawai' means 'beautiful' or 'wonderful' in Japanese?
It's exactly the same pronounciation.

He's 'Mr. Beautiful'.

[colargol]

the unexpected

[Manufan909]

I thought George Hill had a "deer in the headlights" look.

After the trade, Kawhi's expression looks completely different -- like the headlights the deer is looking into.

So my nickame for Kawhi (with his big blank eyes) is "Headlights."

Kawhi "Headlights" Leonard. :toast

He can have Manu's old nickname, stone face.:king

[100%duncan]

Kawhibunga Leonardo

[mudyez]

Do you guys know that 'kawai' means 'beautiful' or 'wonderful' in Japanese?
It's exactly the same pronounciation.

He's 'Mr. Beautiful'.

So who wants to scream "Mr. Beauuuuuuutiiiiiiiiiifuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllll!!!" after a Leonard dunk?

Anyone?

[mexicanjunior]

It's too bad he can never switch to The Admiral's old number, then he could be...

KAWAII-5-0!

[BanditHiro]

The Aztec is the best nickname thrown out there so far.

[Hamez]

My friends and I call him Bumblebee, cause he doesn’t say much but he is BAD ASS. Or we just call him Kiwi.

[YODA]

I was tryign to think of stuff to fit his playing style. He shows very little emotion whether he is doing well or bad. Always seems to be cool under the pressure. The Ice man obviously is taken. How about .....
" Mr Freeze" or maybe " Snowman" or " Mr Spock" Justy thowing stuff out there off top of my head.

[tp2021]

He's obviously not a demon sister but

Gorgon for his stone-faced stare.

Plus he has "serpent hair."

So there.

[quanzinelli]

The Aztec Assassin ... Good alliteration ... and it some how makes me think of the ninja, Sean (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=EXw&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=X&ei=c210T_-XIsqO2wWxz730Dg&ved=0CBoQBSgA&q=alliteration&spell=1&biw=1920&bih=1018)

as far as Mr. Spock goes ... Leonard Nimoy perhaps

[tp2021]

Or, the Hangman. Y'all saw that shot last night, you know what I'm talkin about.

kOvoqj8vmes

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Sadly the Aztec word for just about anything is at least 8 syllables long and looks like something ducks would type while on acid. I don't think any announcer is going will want to try to yelling, "QUETZLCOATL!" when he dunks it with authority.

[timtonymanurich]

I nominate "The Hand" OR The Handler." We're all very aware of his GI-NORMOUS mitts.
Kinda like "The Glove" for G-Payton.

[Obstructed_View]

Elevator Fart.

[Old School 44]

It's too bad he can never switch to The Admiral's old number, then he could be...

KAWAII-5-0!

Yes...too bad, but cue the music anyway!
AepyGm9Me6w

[Carnage&Mayhem]

So who wants to scream "Mr. Beauuuuuuutiiiiiiiiiifuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllll!!!" after a Leonard dunk?

Anyone?



I do

[Arc]

i just call him the avatar.

[Leetonidas]

How about "Banana Hands"

[tp2021]

I nominate "The Hand" OR The Handler." We're all very aware of his GI-NORMOUS mitts.
Kinda like "The Glove" for G-Payton.

How about The Vice for his no-slip grip?

Or, The Clamp for his hands and defensive prowess?

[Blake]

The Koala

[lefty]

Lucky 13



Because we drafted him with the 15th pick and he is wearing number 2



15-2 = 13
















Ok that was retarded :downspin:

[GSH]

The Koala


I brought the name thing up with a friend this morning, and he said to call him Panda, because he eats shoots and leaves. It's another old joke, but I thought it was funny.

Somehow, I can't see calling Kawhi Leonard either a Koala or a Panda, though.

[sehui]

Kamikaze? In Japanese, the literal translation is "divine wind" but obviously if you were paying attention in HS history class you'd know what I'm referring to.

BTW, kawaii and kawhi doesn't sound exactly the same, to the poster who said that earlier.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

I second the KY nickname tbh

[lefty]

Super HULK


the superhuman Leonard Kawhi

[tp2021]

Ka-Wile E. Coyote

[mingus]

How about "Banana Hands"

Racist.

What about "The Hitman"?

Or "The Stoic"

[beachwood]

Kawally Leopard

[stxspurs]

Elevator Fart.

I seriously Lol'd

[YODA]

Do you guys know that 'kawai' means 'beautiful' or 'wonderful' in Japanese?
It's exactly the same pronounciation.

He's 'Mr. Beautiful'.


If thats the case, how about a San Antonio flair like....


"El Guapo"

[Leetonidas]

Racist.

What about "The Hitman"?

Or "The Stoic"

lol you racist fuck :lol

[benefactor]

He's got such a unique first name I don't see any reason to call him anything else.

[tp2021]

Kawhi Flyer

[Vic Petro]

I thought we already decided on the Avatar?

[G-Dawgg]

Cow-Eye Leonard

[G-Dawgg]

He's got such a unique first name I don't see any reason to call him anything else.

Totally agree 100%

[Big Empty]

Kawhibunga
LOL this one! Easily

[Spurtacus]

I love Kawhibunga, but its not really a nickname. Probably something you shout whenver he hits a shot or makes a nice play.

[VBM]

When the Spurs get the top seed, he can be called "One West Kawhi-kiki."

[Obstructed_View]

I seriously Lol'd

Yeah, either you get the obscurity or you don't. :lol

[Spursnlego]

Hands?

[DPG21920]

I'd call him Dodson cause he raping err'one out here.

[Spurtacus]

Kawhi 'The Leopard' Leonard


Leopard: The species' success in the wild is in part due to its opportunistic hunting behavior, its adaptability to habitats, its ability to run at speeds approaching 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph), its unequaled ability to climb trees even when carrying a heavy carcass,[2] and its notorious ability for stealth. The leopard consumes virtually any animal that it can hunt down and catch.

If that doesn't describe how Kawhi plays then I don't know what does.

[SamoanTD]

About Manu's name in samoan manu means animal or beast just throwing that out there but for kawhi should jus be kawhi lol

[Cory Joseph]

Kawhi 5-0

[Cant_Be_Faded]

How about Lando?

Or Thundergun?

[CGD]

Cow Eye

[Drachen]

Kawhibunga

I don't really see this as a nickname as much as I see it as something that someone yells when he makes a big play. Kinda like when Bill Schoening says "and that's a manu tres" or "Red rocket with the splashdown" for Kawhi it would be simply "KAWHIBUNGA"

[Drachen]

I love Kawhibunga, but its not really a nickname. Probably something you shout whenver he hits a shot or makes a nice play.

LOL oops

[Sense]

Aztec is the best one...

[Interrohater]

I believe bill land or someone called him kaboom. I like that best because it sounds good when he dunks or hits a three.

[justinandimcool]

Aztec is the best one...

or just "Tec". it's shorter, plus he acts like a robot :lobt2:

[thOOdee]

The flyin kawhi-an

[I. Hustle]

I dub him KaWheezy

[callo1]

Kawhi
"You make me laugh old man"

http://i39.tinypic.com/2nsylhk.jpg
"I wonder if he knows that I am pissing myself"

[Dex]

I think Aztec suit him.

I absolutely love Kawhibunga, but it's not really a nickname. Just something you yell when he does awesome things, as he is prone to do.

[Brazil]

I like the condor

[DPG21920]

I like just Avatar.

[daslicer]

My friend gave him a simple nickname which is Uncle Kawhi because after he shuts down guys they scream uncle.

[slayermin]

Riverside Wrecker because he destroys the competition.

[admiralfats]

what about "Obsidian"? Aztecs used obsidian to for weapons. It's really sharp and awesome, like Kawhi.

Kawhi "Giant Hands" Leonard

"ICE" cause his demeanor reminds people of Gervin

[Hamez]

“Aztec” is stupid, nobody would call Timmy “Demon Deacon” just cause he went to Wake Forest.

[VBM]

“Aztec” is stupid, nobody wouldn’t call Timmy “Demon Deacon” just cause he went to Wake Forest.

*immediately looking up any current NBA players from Wichita St.*

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Curious Kawhi

[disciple]

I always call out what he reminds me of when he:

1.) stays with his man even when the opponent doesn't know he's there

2.) reaches out and takes from his opponent when it seems he' not close

3.) takes the very life from his opponent by denying him his way of life

4.) extracts fear from his opponent

5.) has the appearance of 'other worldly'

6.) has the hair to match

7.) has the cold hearted non emotional stare of, "your dead-meat buddy, I can do this all day"

..........and finally he carries the persona that demands a knickname without a prefix. He's not THE .............. Anything. He's simply PREDATOR !!!

[gambit1990]

Riverside Wrecker because he destroys the competition.

haha, i like this.

i didn't like the aztec early on, but i'm coming around to it.

no one has anything better?

[Libri]

Aztec is good but the problem is that if the Spurs lose against Pau and the Lakers you will never hear the end of "the Spaniard conquered the Aztec."

[Doug Collins]

Kawondor

Kawondor or Kawhibunga are the only 2 real options.

"The Aztec" is pretty much the dumbest nickname ever tbh. LOL Get it?!?! He went to San Diego State and they're the Aztecs! anti-lulz

[Spursfanfromafar]

"The Klaw"....cue Jim Carrey's voice from Liar Liar..

[Borat Sagyidev]

KY because fans of other teams are Jelly their team didn't draft him.

[SilverSpur]

The Aztec. Has a ring to it. Like "The Spaniard" in the Gladiator

[SilverSpur]

The Aztec. It has a ring to it. Like "The Spaniard" in the Gladiator.
Also the name "Kawhi" in Japanese means "cute". So maybe "2cute"? No maybe not. The Aztec it is.

[SilverSpur]

Too bad his number isn't #6
Remember the Bill Cosby movie
"Leonard pt 6"

[8FOR!3]

Either Kawhi "The Aztec" Leonard. Or Kawhi "Boom Shaka Laka" Leonard

[tuncaboylu]

Kiwi?

[Behrooz24]

http://i42.tinypic.com/3133oqr.jpg

"Boondocks" or "Riley"

[Interrohater]

If most of you are going with some corny ass nicknames, I'd rather go with Count Blockula or Half man half kraken, or Chitty Chitty Slam Slam. All corny. All perfect.



Spurs talk will never agree to a nickname

[Agloco]

The Second Coming

[sexinthatsx]

K-nard!

[sexinthatsx]

or "Special K"

[sexinthatsx]

I actually really like "Special K", it just rolls of the tip of the tongue

[Man In Black]

As in Former Spur Legend Larry Kenon? Special K was his nickname.

you stole my nickname good sir....i have been calling him the Condor since he was drafted.....he is from Cali, has a huge wingspan, and is a rare bird for sure......Condor definitely fits him.

[Keepin' it real]

Or how about no nickname?

-- "If his mama named him Clay, I'mma call him Clay."

Condor is better than kawondor. Trying to put his name in it makes it stupid.

and kawhibunga would not be a nickname.

[disciple]

He is #2 and he makes his opponents say it all the time....................

..................OH SHIT !

[GSH]

Okay... tonight Timmy was sitting in front of the scorer's table, waiting to come into the game, and he yelled out, "All right, come on something-or-other". None of us could understand what he said, and it was my daughter who thought he said, "Come one YY." It took a couple of seconds to realize he was cheering on Kawhi, and calling him "Wai-Wai".

Seriously? It reminds me of the girl in Harry Potter calling Ron, "Won-Won". You've got to be a serious badass to go on national television and call a teammate Wai-Wai.

[hooperflash]

There was a shootaround interview a while back this season, Duncan did acknowledge the "Whi-Whi" nickname.

Edit: "Let's Go WHI-WHI!" (In Tim's deeper voice ha)

[wtgspurs]

Yet in another Shootaround video Kawhi said some people call him Y Y ( why why) or something similar to that.

[KL2]

Yeah, heard TD call him Whi Whi as he was getting ready to check in.

[SA210]

[Sec24Row7]

Silent but Deadly.

[Mugen]

Over a year old and this thread is still one of the most Jason Collins-esque on Spurstalk tbh.

[wildcardX]

More scary snake nickname time, lets call Kawhi the Rattler or the Viper. He can rattle opponents and if you're not guarding him well, he can sneak in bite you on your ass(not literally of course). He can join Red Mamba Bonner and THE BRAZILIAN COBRA Splitter!

Ok, I have not found anything of Cobras living in Brazil but I refuse to call Splitter The Bushmaster(wtf?) or the Anaconda.

It would be ok if he were Mexican. Weak nickname for a black guy.

jeez lefty....smh

btw, i can't think of a good nickname either. I stole Kawhibunga from El Nono.

KY could work but might be a better nickname for Jason Collins.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I like special K or Doctor K, either one of those is fine with me imo

[HemisfairArena]

Kilo. Two letters from the first and last name.

[3 Legged Dog]

"The Future"... when the wheels finally fall off

I like Kawhi. I really do. But I don't think that he is an alpha male. Not on offense. I don't see him ever having the ball handling skills and the instincts needed to be a franchise player.

i'd love to be wrong.

[Biggems]

Condor is still my favorite

but what about Special K

[EVAY]

I like Special K...and just think of all the endorsement money he could get if that was his nickname.

[lefty]

Kwalm, Kool and Kollected


KKK


Nevermind

[3 Legged Dog]

I like special K or Doctor K, either one of those is fine with me imo

Larry Kenon was "Special K." For those that don't know, Kenon was a 70s Spurs small forward that averaged better than 20 PST and 10 rebounds per game. Like Leonard he was a very good rebounding small forward. While Kenon was a better offensive player, Leonard is a better defender.

Sorry, but he's Leonard Part VI to most of the league.

Yep, this is his nickname.

[bdictjames]

Waii-Waii.

That's what Timmy calls him. He's a young guy. Maybe when he's older, then he'll have a more mature nickname.

[SpurPadre]

How about "Klay Thompson's REAL Daddy"?

[BigVee]

My friends and I call him The Quiet Man. I spend half my time each game yelling for someone to give The Quiet Man the ball.

[TrueSpursFan]

I nominate "The Hand" OR The Handler." We're all very aware of his GI-NORMOUS mitts.
Kinda like "The Glove" for G-Payton.

I started hearing this more often during the playoffs. I believe on abc, don't remember who exactly but they took the liberty to nickname kawhi for us. "The Hand"

[barakz21]

Someone mentoned "mitts" once...I like it.

[DMC]

Let him develop his game and get a characteristic other than his hands (which many NBA players have). For the last game we can call him Lanky Clanky because he missed all those open looks. For the next game maybe we can call him Bones because he breaks Lebron's fibula.

[milkyway21]

Y OR WHI

[pikkiwoki]

How about Sugar Y Leonard?

Sugar Y Leonard vs. Sugar Ray Allen and Sugar Shane Battier

Kawhi "The Kraken" Leonard.

The Kawraken.

They're always talking about his arms and his hands. The length, the size, the awesomeness. This is probably how Lebron imagines Kawhi in his dreams. I read a tweet, or maybe it was a post that made me think of this; tt was something like: it is now official, Kawhi Leonard has six arms. lol

Okay, that's a no on the Kawraken thing. But nice artwork. I get the part about him having six arms though.

The Kwagmire.


2.a situation from which extrication is very difficult:

[The Great Fantastic]

The Usurper. He's going to take the crown from the King, even though he has no interest in wearing it.

[Darkwaters]

The Usurper. He's going to take the crown from the King, even though he has no interest in wearing it.

I'm going to assume thats a Game of Thrones reference.

Seriously, Kawhi the Kingslayer is just too obvious!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I like The Hand. It's simple, it fits. On a nerdier level it works as a reference to an order of super ninja in the Marvel universe, which fits because he's silent as a ninja and that gives it a sense of continuity to the last big time SF the Spurs drafted, Sean "Ninja" Elliott.

Trouble is, special K is taken. Why not Planet K? I thought Kryptonite was pretty good, but I also liked Elevator Fart.

[MilesTeg]

The Kingslayer. Definitely a cool nickname, although it is giving Lebron too much importance maybe.

Yeah Lebron is not the King sorry never was
