Favors nickname?

Post #1 » by **NyCeEvO** » Thu Jul 29, 2010 12:41 pm

This should be fun. We've had many nicknames for current and former Nets (J-Kidd, K-Mart, Twitt/T-Will, B-Lo, Hump, etc.).

What should be Derrick Favors nickname?

Guy we traded for CP3.

Actually following that logic, it's not long enough. I'd much rather prefer if it was 'guy we traded for CP3 without taking back Okafor's contract'. That's a lot better!!!

They are total opposites lol. It sounds funny but I don't know if we'd want to associate Derrick with him.

Derrick "You'll get no" Favors

Derrick "Facial" Favors (although that can be interpreted differently)

HAHA! I don't think the words 'facial' and 'favors' should be in the same sentence let alone a nickname.

I'm wondering if there is something better than the usual 'first initial and abbreviation of the last name' (e.g. D-Fav) but I can't think of any good names.

Of course I understand the humor but the coincidence was too much to ignore. I'm not ragging on you or anything. Just making sure...

Make it "Dick Facial Favors" lmao...

But honestly, let it play out. He hasn't even played a single regular season game yet and we're trying to give him a nickname already. Oh and the best nicknames usually don't involve their names: Air, Magic, Legend, Sky Walker, Chocolate Thunder.

But for the fun of it....I'mma start calling him Derrick "done you dirtaaay" Favors

When I started this thread, this isn't the type of fun that I expected to come from the idea lol.

Trade Bait.... is a short and sweet nickname.

Watch. He ends up spending 15 years here and becomes the greatest player in franchise history....
