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.

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

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.

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.

Kawaii....there done

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

Silent Assassin.

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

Plastic man!!

I like (The) Aztec.

It's catchy and its unique.

(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

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

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!!!!

[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 . So you're not using the actual pronunciation of Hawaii.
