Who's got some good a.k.a.'s???

Let's see what kind of creativity we've got on Spurs Talk.

If you've got a good a.ka (legit or humorous) for a Spurs player or move let's see what you've got. :smokin

Here's a couple to start it off.


Tim Duncan a.k.a - "Blackjack"

-He's got one of the best poker faces in the biz.
-When it comes to points and rebounds he knows how to double-down.
-Nothing beats having 21.

Manu Ginobili a.k.a. - "Voodoo"

-He's a magician with the ball, specializing in silver and black magic.
-He uses his elbows as pins and his cross-over to break limbs.
-Manu is the voodoo, that B.Sho sees him do, all too well.


Tony's "Teardop" a.k.a. - "The Eiffel Shower"
-I can't take credit for it (think I heard it from a caller on the radio) but thought it was pretty fitting. :toast

I'd copy/paste my comic book counterpart list, but...eh. I'm lazy.

At this point though, I think if Pop ever had a blowout he'd strongly consider walking.

Kurt Thomas a.k.a The Rim's Pimp. You want to put it in there? He'll either make you pay for it or make you bleed, sucka. Or both.

Bruce Bowen a.k.a. Your Ugly Friend at the Club. He makes it nearly impossible to score, and no matter how hard you try you just can't get rid of him long enough to get your game going.

Ian Mahinmi a.k.a. "Does He Mahinmi"

ex. After riding the pine for the majority of the season Pop calls on Ian to check in at the scorers table, to which Ian replies "Does he Mahinmi???"

If you can get any money out of johns to hook up with a 60 year old chain smoker with one boob then you're the most incredible pimp I've ever heard of. My wide brimmed purple felt hat is off to you, sir.

Good one.

Too bad if it is true though.

I like Matt Bonner, which is no small thing for me to say considering I lost Rasho when the Spurs acquired Matt.

But then again, Pop apparently loves replacing Sho with people he is not going to play... aka Butterfingers Nazr.

This is genius.

Spider-Man is definitely fitting for Ginobili, but it feels like there are just too many people referred to as "Spider" or "Spider-Man."(besides, there's only one "Spider" to me, and he's from Brasil.:smokin)

Here's what I came up with for Manu.

Quote:

---

Manu Ginobili a.k.a. - "Voodoo"

-He's a magician with the ball, specializing in silver and black magic.
-He uses his elbows as pins and his cross-over to break limbs.
-Manu is the voodoo, that B.Sho sees him do, all too well.

I've been sticking with "Havoc", but what do you guys think of "Hawk?"

With his wingspan, ball-hawking skills, and looks,(I'm not sure if it's his eyes or what about his face:lol) "Hawk" just came to mind.

George "Hawk" Hill???

I liked when Sean called him "Roach" because he hung out in the corners, and you just couldn't kill him or get rid of him.:lol

Anthony Tolliver...aka....chuck n duck!

If George Hill was bourbon he'd be Old Grand-dad's 100 proof.
