Don't call him big fella!
I was thinking the same response after that. He hate it but I've always hated to the writers calling him that. I kind of hated when they called Duncan "Timmy" too. I can understand the teammates/coaches with Timmy.
But for Ayton, call him his name...never liked the standard go to for bigs with "big fella". Do they call CP3/Carter, etc "little fella"?
Wt actual f? Is this a thing? I've never heard of it, and I've heard numerous times big guys called "big fella" - I never thought it was something negative or derogatory... I was actually giving him props and still get whining here for a term that is used pretty much every basketball game? lol
Yeah, it's used often for big guys. Ayton doesn't like it.
Actually, let me put that less politely: We’ve got a team full of damn trolls.
And anyone is liable to get trolled at any moment.
I’ll start with myself, because I need some justice from these fools. Alright so the one thing I hate — hate — more than anything else, it’s being called a “big man.” Because to me it’s like….. what kinds of things does a big man do?? Not all the things I can do, that much I know. I’m bringing much more to the table than that. So I don’t want to be called a big man, or Big Man, or Big Fella or any of it. Big Fellas, they got nothing on me!! Recognize the versatility, my God.
Anyway….. the second I made that known, it was a huge mistake. Mikal, Jevon, all them trolls — they never let me hear the end of it. Calling me a “big” now every chance they get. I’ll be in the group chat, it’s “what up big fella?” Or when Coach is splitting us up in practice between guards and bigs, it’ll be like, Where should DA go?? Or like, Ohhh you mean “DA and the bigs,” not “the bigs,” right??? It’s hilarious. I mean, I hate it, but it’s hilarious.
