[tim_duncan_fan]

Yes? No?

Hell no?

[sook]

[DMC]

Sugar K... not Sugar Kane

[313]

Sounds kinda sweet

[testies]

I prefer Kawhi "Canada" Leonard

without frenchies, he'd be much better off

[NASpurs]

Another dumb fucking nickname from Shrek.

[DAF86]

gay as fuck.

You are just jelous of the super duper cool nickname of our player.

[davidbowie]

anythings better than ka-wow

[tim_duncan_fan]

Sugar K... not Sugar Kane

Pretty sure it's both.

Not sure I like it either way.

Sweet in athletic/hip hop circles usually means soft and homosexual.

[313]

anythings better than ka-wowor kapow :lmao

[DMC]

It's not both. K is for Kawhi.

[davidbowie]

kawhi "your uncle just got out of prison braids" leonard

[TheRemix]

Sugar kane ? Sounds gay

[DarrinS]

Sad

[sook]

You are just jelous of the super duper cool nickname of our player.

:lol Kiwi is a good nickname imo

[Jimcs50]

We had Mr K on our team, guess we can have Sugar K.

[tim_duncan_fan]

It's not both. K is for Kawhi.
I thought Shaq said "because he's sweet as sugar cane" but I could be wrong.

[gilmor]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Ray_Leonard

After Sugar Ray.. legendary boxer

[capek]

fuck that nickname tbh

[Jimcs50]

Sugar K!!!!!!

[AFBlue]

He doesn't need a nickname...too flashy. I like the gesture Baynes just did...says it all without saying a damn thing. Fits Kawhi like a glove.

[KL2]

Call him KY cause he's smooth as fuck.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Sugar Kane is gonna stick.

Wow.

[RD2191]

Come on Patty

[RD2191]

Kawhi doing it all.

[apalisoc_9]

We've run like 345723490582340 plays for mills in the third..and none for kawhi wtf

Rick Fox on NBA TV: "The Claw".Thats cool too, tbh.

[PÒÓCH]

What is he? A boxer? Naw just Naw.

[jag]

That nigga's name is KAWHI...he doesn't need a nickname. Especially not something as gay as Sugar K/Kane.

[Malik Hairston]

Too many forced nicknames these days, tbh..

[Robz4000]

His nickname is dat nigga Kawhi

[DAF86]

Kawhi just said he likes Sugar. Definitive no-no to "The Claw" unfortunately.

[Pound the rock]

Nay!!!

[heyheymymy]

it's kawhi or whi-whi. none of this sugar kane shit wtf is that supposed to mean?

[testies]

Its Sugar K (kay), you idiots

to rhyme with Sugar Ray Leonard

[G-Dawgg]

That's gay'ed out...

[wtgspurs]

Sugar Ray Leonard is actually Kawhi's Family, they're related

[jbspurs]

The English - Tagalog definition of kaway. ... kaway: kaway n. waving of the hands to get attention


He's got big handS.. How about "BIG KAWAII"?

[james evans]

doesn't roll off the tongue. garbage nickname. he could have just called him "the mitten". a play on gary payton's nickname due to the size of leonard's hands

[DPG21920]

Kawhi Not RJ Leonard.

[313]

That nigga's name is KAWHI...he doesn't need a nickname. Especially not something as gay as Sugar K/Kane.

[313]

His nickname is dat nigga Kawhi

[G-Dawgg]

Fuck yo nickname clown...

[ohmwrecker]

A. Shaq said "Sugar K".
B. It's better than any nickname anyone here has ever thought of for any player ever.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

I've always called him Baby Lebron Tbh.
But the Sugar Kay Leonard shit is ok imo.

[milkyway21]

The Claw .

[SnakeBoy]

Sugar K is a terrible nickname in the middle of a diabetes epidemic tbh...maybe Splenda K

[silverblackfan]

What happened to "The Hand"? Was that already taken? It is all I think of when the bench stands up showing the symbol.

[Venti Quattro]

So gay

[Spur|n|Austin]

His first ever podium appearance tonight showed another side to him, it was great.


http://www.nba.com/spurs/video/2014/05/15/140515diawmp4-3270821/

[NASpurs]

With hands that size, The Human Tripod (no homo).

[dav4463]

Sugar K really isn't so bad. It plays homage to the old Spurs........Old school fans will remember Larry Kenon and Mike Gale.......Mr. K or Special K....and Mike Gale was nicknamed Sugar!

Other yr people saying 'Special K', I like that.

[NASpurs]

I don't. Makes it sound like he rides the short bus.

Kawhi "Long Dick" Leonard, tbh..

[spursmvp]

He said in the interview he likes "sugar K" better than "the claw"

[Baynes]

Kiwi>>>>>>>>>>Sugar

[thekingrobert]

my nickname for him is the Kawhi-et Storm

[SpurAddict561]

Kawow

He's such a beast, finally he logged some decent minutes. We are gonna need him to do big things for us going forward if we want #5.

[PublicOption]

OP, you stupid fuck, its Sugar "K" Leonard. He's is referencing Sugar "Ray" Leonard.

Its not that hard to understand.

[Sausage]

http://thebigtino.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/la-mano.jpg

[DarrinS]

I'm guessing Hand Job is out.

[Kidd K]

I don't like it, it's fuckin stupid imo.

If he just wanted to call him "Sweetness" like Walter Payton, I would have been fine with that.

That said, I liked the MJ one hand pump dunk last night. Kawhi also does the MJ post fadeaway to. Looks exactly like Jordan's move.

[Spurs9]

Better than Shlong Hill tbh

[MeloHype]

Pretty sure it's both.

Not sure I like it either way.

Sweet in athletic/hip hop circles usually means soft and homosexual.I'm sure nobody meant Walter Payton was soft or gay when they gave him the nickname 'sweetness'

[Jimcs50]

Sugar K is going to stick. Leonard likes it. When Shaq hangs a moniker on you, it sticks. None of us liked The Big Fundamental at first, but it is now his nickname.


I liked Sugar Ray, so I like Sugar K.

[snickles]

Yes? No?

Hell no?

"SK" Leonard sounds better than "sugar k". it can mean 2 different things

[Vic Petro]

http://thebigtino.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/la-mano.jpg

He is and has been "The Hand" as dubbed by Patty Mills. If I recall they were talking about what Kawhi's superhero identity would be, and they decided it would be "The Hand" which I think is perfect. The sign his teammates make on the bench would be his superhero logo across his chest.

[disciple]

Here is another one my cousin just made...

http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/fss/6d2632212b96adf19bfec7cc4db04f7/Untitled-21+copy.png

In my house he is simply 'Predator'.

No the I front of it because he is what he is without a knickname.

Everyone on both teams knows he is around. They can feel his prescience. They know he will show up somewhere and reek havoc.

Predator

I liked Sugar Ray, so I like Sugar K.

Agreed tbh. I really don't see why so many people dislike it...might help if they got it right and didn't think it was "Sugar Kane" instead of "Sugar K".

[Spur|n|Austin]

Gotta love his response to the nickname -

Monroe: "Kawhi, the TV guys have been trying to give you a nickname tonight. Had you heard about that yet?"
KL: "Yes. Um. A few people told me Shaq or Barkley were calling me Sugar K Leonard (laughs)"
Monroe: "You OK with that?"
KL: "Tshh, that's there job, to come up with stuff and sell it to the fans, so - it's alright with me."
Monroe: "The NBA TV guys were calling you The Claw. Do you like that better?"
KL: "Um no, I don't like that one (laughs)"

:lol

[xtremesteven33]

Shaq seems to have a knack for giving nicknames. I like it. Spurstalk salty as fuck they didn't come up with it first tbh

[gameFACE]

Sugar K isn't bad. I like it. But tbh I probably like "The Hand" better since Spurs players already have a Hand salute.

[Jimcs50]

That's not a hand salute, that's the Claw salute....it's from the movie Liar Liar with Jim Carrey

[Vic Petro]

That's not a hand salute, that's the Claw salute....it's from the movie Liar Liar with Jim Carrey

That may have been the origin but the Spurs use it as the signal for The Hand, similar to the bat signal for Batman.

[TheRemix]

You know its starting to grow on me now

[gameFACE]

That's not a hand salute, that's the Claw salute....it's from the movie Liar Liar with Jim Carrey
They're not making a claw shape with their hands. Never seen that movie, though. In any case everyone in the AT&T should do it.

[tp2021]

The Long Arm of the Law was on full display last night.

[Darius McCrary]

Why does every nickname these days have to allude to that sweet stuff?

[xtremesteven33]

"Sugar K Leonard" or "SugarK"

Both have a nice ring to it, rolls off the tongue with ease and is associated with greatness in "Sugar Ray Leonard". As soon as I heard it I liked it.

[Blake]

I heard Cobra Kawhi and liked it

Except Sugar Ray Leonard was a showboating idiot.

[Capster]

That nigga's name is KAWHI...he doesn't need a nickname. Especially not something as gay as Sugar K/Kane.

I'm with JaG.......Kawhi is just fine. Sugar K/Kane is just juvenile and stupid. Just leave it at Kawhi.

Ooooh that's good. I like sugar k, but prefer cobra kawhi.

[superbigtime]

Special K makes more sense. This dude doesn't need some stupid nickname. Kawhi is good enough.

[PÒÓCH]

This is the only Sugar Leonard. Can't they come up with something more unique? Or why is there a need to have a nickname? Kawhi is more uncommon,particular and cool enough on it's own.

You too can have Kawhi's hands:

[3 Legged Dog]

Pretty sure it's both.

Not sure I like it either way.

Sweet in athletic/hip hop circles usually means soft and homosexual.

No. It's Sugar K Leonard. It's a spin off on Sugar Ray Leonard. Hall of fame boxer

[3 Legged Dog]

Other yr people saying 'Special K', I like that.
Larry Kenon (the only Spur small forward to average 20-10 for his entire tenure with the team) was "Special K"

[3 Legged Dog]

I'm guessing Hand Job is out.

More appropriate (considering his defensive tendencies) would be Kawhi "Reach Around" Leonard

[sexinthatsx]

lol Kawhi doesn't like to be called "The claw"

[Captivus]

"The Steal"?

No. They are different. in the Claw the fingers are not together and they are curved... like a claw.

Larry Kenon was called Special K, but we weren't hung up on politically correct sayings then!
