I am JaVale...but they call me Lemonhead!

I gotta go with Caron. "Lemonhead" is great nickname, and a spot-on visual.




Besides, I'm always partial to a goofy nickname over a overly cool, laudatory nickname (e.g., "The Assassin," "The Dominator," "Smoove J," etc.). A goofy nickname has a greater potential to actually stick.

Well played.

Kid Vegas rolls easily. Javele "Kid Vegas" McGee.

How about "McGee the G" lol

[clubbing_caveman]

For some reason "Lemonhead" cracks me up. Maybe it's just the fact that CB threw it into the interview.

Haha! Yes, I really like Lemonhead. Thats pretty funny. Especially since its a name given by a teammate.
Time for a vote yet? Maybe we can have a deadline to have a name picked by the start of the next game. Speaking of which...where's the next game thread?

[JWizmentality]

Alright, the poll is up with the best ones.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Stewie fits Pecherov, and unfortunately, also, Lemonhead fits McGee.

jay Mickey with the block!

It takes getting it done on the court over time before you get a great nick name like tough juice.


It has has to be something about how high he gets or the length of his arms.
JaVale McGee nicknames.

Rubberman - works with the fantasic 4 them.
The Big Lemon - seem a lot of big man have big in there Nickname.
The Eraser
McSlam
SDI - Nothing get past his defense.
Dr No
Sky Rocket - found this in a search.
The Big Secret - His mom gave him that
The Choppa - This has been reported in a search. helicopter arms


Duncan's - Big Fundamental - oh catchy

Or like Shaq, you can have many names.
The Diesel", "Shaq Fu", "The Big Aristotle", The Big Daddy", "Superman", "The Big Agave, "The Big Cactus", "The Big Shaqtus", "The Big Galactus", "Wilt Chamberneezy", "The Big Baryshnikov", "The Real Deal" and most recently, after earning his MBA, "Dr. Shaq

Kobe - Black Mamba

This link should get the brain working from seeing other names.

They have N1 as "Bean Burrito" - Nick Young
and AB aka Bullet Proof is The Blatchine Gun" – Andray Blatche - what ?

Nov 11, 2008 ... JaVale McGee's nickname is The Choppa, but he is also a crazy slinky monster

[bulletproof_32]

Keynote's pic sealed it for me. "Lemonhead" gets my vote.

[Scabs304]

Didn't see the pic of lemonhead or I would of defintly done that. Although Java is still a close second.

[Donkey McDonkerton]

def lemonhead

[JWizmentality]

Looks like Lemonhead running away with it.

Javale is hereby dubbed Lemonhead and shall henceforth be referred to as such on the Wizboard. Anybody attempting to use any other moniker shall be forthwith mocked as "Lame".

[RickRoll_inDC]

mark me down for lemonhead

[Dat2U]

I have to go with Lemonhead too. It's the best one I've seen thus far but it's missing something. It needs an additional kick to it. Like a beginning or ending. Something to start it off or end it. Maybe J-Lemonhead, McLemonhead or Lemonhead McGee.

[hands11]

Mark me down as Lame. Never was much of a conformist.

Mom would be proud.

For me the hunt is still open. Lemonhead while funny doesn't really meet the level of an NBA nickname
worthy of this talented young man.

If he keep it up, something with more power will come out.

Like the Human Eraser or Sky Walker.

It will likely start off with something like his mom started. The Big Secret to go in line with
The Big Ticket. But then he will no long be a secret.

That will give way to something like
JaVale, The Eraser, McGee
JaVale, The Motor, McGee
JaVale, Rubberman, McGee
JaVale, The Wall
Mr Fantastic

But you'll can do what you want.

[BigA]

"Lemonhead" is fine for now since he's a rookie and Butler came up with it. If he develops in the way we hope it probably won't do for the long term.

[crackhed]

lemonhead is cool but it lacks nastiness or excitement.. and he brings both. jammin java is more suited for his game. does he have an opinion on the subject.. anyone know?

[WizarDynasty]

you can't give lemon head to a guy who blocks three point shots on perimeter, a guy who catches alleyhoops from halfcourt lobs on a fast break, a guy who completely shut down an allstar carlos boozer, a guy who catches pass jumping from in bounds and reverses slams, a guy that is like dennis rodman when it comes to tracking down rebounds. Lemonhead just won't do...J-takeover..something along those lines...but i guess you gotta keep a humble component since he is still a rookie and you don't want his ego getting to out of control...and we have yet to see how he does against ...well the the good thing is there aren't any more bulky centers like shaq in the east coast anymore and he did well against a power player like boozer.

I think we should stick to the nickname that has kept him motivated all this time..BIG Secret..or Secret Weapon..sorry Kev...but he has had Secret has his nickname alot longer than you have..especially since his mom...cough...basketball mom..who is responsible for what we are enjoying right now...named him.--who maybe J-McSecret
