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

[Blackjack]

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.

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.

[Mister Sinister]

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

Just another facet of my unbridled and unrivaled geek-dom. Black Bolt is a Marvel Comics character who does not talk, because the powers of his voice are awesomely destructive.

Well, at least it makes sense now.

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.
