**OFFICIAL*** Jaden McDaniels FAN Nickname Contest - Winner Sent To Jim Peterson

wolfen · Post #1 » by **wolfen** » Mon Mar 6, 2023 4:26 pm

Jaden McDaniels needs a nickname, everybody knows it. It's time for the FANS to come up with a good one. We'll submit the winner to Jim Peterson so he can use it during broadcasts and hopefully, we'll hear it out of the mouths of the likes of Kevin Harlan during the playoffs.

Here's how we'll do it. Submit your choice by clicking either of the links below to enter your choice. You can suggest as many nicknames as you want, but don't submit the same one over and over. You'll be asked to identify your "handle" or "moniker" in the form as well. You'll also be able to explain the reasoning behind your choice in the form if you would like to (not required).

I'll close the form for entries on Sunday evening - March 12.

Then on Monday morning, March 13, I'll open the voting form (links below) where I'll put the top 5 submissions in for you to vote on.

The voting form will only let you vote ONE time for your top choice. To lock down the form this way, it will require you to enter you email address.

We'll close that form on Sunday evening - March 19th. Then I'll announce the winning nickname on the morning of March 20th and I'll alert Jim Pete of the contest.

You can help spread the word. Feel free to post the links to any forum that you talk Wolves!!

Let's do this!!

Thanks,
Wolfen

OK guys, votes are trickling in. Put your nickname idea in the form - https://tinyurl.com/2p872x9y

Get creative, let's get crackin'. You can use one that you may have heard from someone else if you want, doesn't have to be original...

submitted mine for “clamp GAWD”
Just fear that nickname is already taken.

Jaden himself prefers "Slim", so that's probably what it should be:

Fair.

But IMO, its more important what the player likes than what we do.

I’m not in that camp. You don’t create nor approve your own nickname.

100% agree that you never can pick your own nickname, but I guess I find it disrespectful to use a nickname that a player doesn't care for.

Like I've never called Edwards "Ant Man" again since he told Marnie that he didn't like it and preferred "Ant".

It makes me wonder if SloMo likes his nickname?

Apparently he adopted it after an AAU tournament. He is seemingly all in favor. I believe Jim Pete mentioned it earlier in the season.

He actually uses it in his Twitter and Instagram handles, so I'm pretty sure he embraces it.

How about "The Cooler"

Cooler = slang for jail

Also, cooler = giving the other guy bad luck/an off night
