Jonas Valanciunas aka Chewbacca

[LiSTWithLani]

I had to share with you all my name for Jonas -

This makes sense as a nickname, is cool and MLSE should be pushing it!

Standing 7'0" tall

• Weighing in at 255
• Hairy, particularly his beard
• Strong and likable
• His name has a 'Chew' sound in it "Valan'Chew'Nas"

PLUS Star Wars is a cult classic with huge exposure that helps our brand grow into other markets. The series is so unbelievably lucrative that they would be silly to not jump at this opportunity to print shirts, hats, mugs, etc. with our players on them in the theme of Star Wars.

Can someone superimpose Jonas' head onto this photo and perhaps make it basketball centric?

Bonus: with each made basket, or blocked shot they can cycle through these awesome sounds:

Yeah, this is sort of my response to a name that did not make sense.

Chewbacca or Chewy for short

I suck at this

The Chewbacca episode 1,2,3 plays Australian state league. Hes got a face that's deserving of being buried in a Chewbacca bodysuit.

Got a.friend with the nn chewy so I'd like.that one. Kind of makes sense too. A whole he'll of a lot more than big science. Still don't get that bill nye reference. The only thing Thwy have in common is skin colour. Kinda racist of Drake now.thaybyou think about it. Lol

Needs crucial CB4 input

[EG73]

Nice idea. I Luke chew or chewie
(Weird coincidence : like was autocorrected as Luke).

and 'Skywalker' for Ross when he dunks
and Jabba the hut for Oliver Miller


Worst nickname idea was Big VaJonas. I chose to not attempt at photoshopping JV (bearded or not?) with a vagina.

[Rhettmatic]

Could it get MLSE sued? If so I'm in.

It's better than "Big Science"

I miss the skinny, mobile, beardless Jonas... The way Raptors training staff botched his player development really sucks.

I still think that Jonas would get steamrolled in the post most nights if teams were game planning for him. He needs to speed up his decision making process more than his feet. If he had the brain of Chuck Hayes on defence he'd be fine.

I am so glad to hear a positive response to this! I have been calling him it since his beard and after a JV bucket a nice Chewbacca rolling scream is very satisfying!
