Badinage-Proposed Nickname for AJ: Da Monsta!
It’s important for an NBA superstar to have a nickname.
So, I want to put forth what I think should be AJ’s (and be given credit for henceforth):
Da Monsta.
Pretty perfect, rolls off the tongue, connotes dominance and power … if you’re reading this, Monumental peeps (including Cristina), reach out.

It has a romance language cognate feel, like how they say Nasty Gangster in Slamdunkia.

Da Monsta is — perfection.
And immediately goes up there with the best in the game right now. It’s better, by far, than Ant Man.

High spirits... happy to see it. But a nickname of that kind has to arise spontaneously over time; it can't be laid on externally. Plus, it has to arise from extraordinary play, & this kid hasn't played at all yet.
I would have liked to come away w/ another r1 rookie last night. We better do a great job tonight.

Bear with me on this one, but what if we called him Deni Avdija. Imagine the problems that would solve.

Sometimes that’s how they come — organically, garlanded after greatness has been established.
And sometimes they come before they’re entirely justified. Dr. J was Dr. J at the University of Massachusetts.

I posted your nickname on his IG feed.....
It might get some traction, so you spoke it into the world, and I passed it along.....

Re: Badinage-Proposed Nickname for AJ: Da Monsta!
I say Monstarr because he’s already stealing swagger from the other players. Better be able to play to back it up. But if he becomes the defender he should be then the story is foretold.

His Nickname should be "The Foundation" You have to speak ot into existence. We want him to be the Foundation. So you call him the Foundation!...

Build your team w/5 shooters using P. Pierce Form deeply bent hips and lower back arch at same time b4 rising into shot. Elbow never pointing to the ground! Good teams have an engine player that shoot volume (2000 full season) at 50 percent.Large Hands
