"Tastes Great, Less Filling" - "that's awesome, Bill" Who remembers that commercial from the 80s?

Franchise pillar, painkiller, downhill thriller, no-filler

Trying to figure out something with distiller to imply he’s created reason to celebrate or a play on high life/champagne of beers.

Milling Machine? Windmiller? Pulverizer?

Middle Child.

Because he generally gets ignored during our run of success (despite winning an award) while people discuss Melo or Kon. Also for his attitude on the court. He is always looking to rustle some feathers with a little remark and a smirk.

^His faces are tops. Very expressive, was working on something with "griller" earlier. A WIP.

You have a closer read on the pulse of the youth than myself, is the first initial-shortened last name nickname back in vogue? A-rod, b-diddy, etc? Everything old is new again.

I really do like “It’s Miller Time”, and yes I remember those commercials well. It didn’t fit him previous years, but Brandon is earning the title. He seems to be embracing the duty of stepping up in the big moments, and he’s carried this team many times in this fantastic win cycle.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

If he was in Australia it would be Millsy, shorten it then add sy at the end, job done.

Isn’t that right Swedsy

There's got to be a story behind that name.

And I don't want to know.

Idk but suprised he doesn't have a good name, since Brandon Miller is pretty vanilla.

but sometimes names just make no sense. LaMelo goes by "Dip"

not that I'm anybody but I just call him Brando

leading man, oscar worthy performer, killer (too soon?)

all that emotive facemaking and monologuing about opponent foul shots

"WOOT!"
