Nick Young is exactly the kind of guy who can give himself a nickname and have it feel right. That he didn't know what the "P" stood for was just the icing on the cake.

"I think if you look good, you play good. So you know, the 'Swaggy' starts with how I come in the arena - how I dress, the shoes I wear. The 'P' is a mystery. I can't tell you that right now. I might write a book someday."

I'd put Hibachi in the same boat.

If I had to guess for Nick Young, the P is for pimp.

Kuminga.... Young G

Should we call Moody "Mad-eye"?

"Moses" is just cool for me. Just a rare name.

Here in Brazil it's a uncommon name too (Moisés).

I’ve been trying to think about his characteristics as a player (at least what we know so far). Furthermore, I think short names are best, one word in most cases.

1. State of perpetual attack readiness, forces defense to be on high alert
—> DEFCON-1
—> Aggro

2. Desire and ability to get to the hoop with little resistance, seems to always be his first instinct
—> Downhill
—> Slipstream
—> Gravitron

3. Forceful, but crafty and unpredictable moving around
—> Cyclone

4. Muscular, but waits for opportunity and strikes quickly
—> The Panther (no, I’m not gonna use “Black”, it’s implied with panthers anyway)

5. Fun/random
—> K-Pop (would really work if he played for the Spurs)
—> New Tires (you gotta push them to test them out right?)
—> Powerup

K...hear me out. Kuminga's attitude reminds me of.....Kobe Bryant.
Here's why. Remember when Kobe started playing games? He was like air balling shots etc....not looking that great. BUT...you could tell he didn't give a 'F' and he KNEW he was meant to be on the floor. He was decisive and impactful.

What I love about Kuminga is his confidence based by quick decisions based on power and skill. I've not seen one lowlight where he looked unskilled in the attempt.

Man...if we hit on just two of Wiseman, Moody, Kuminga....future is looking really bright.
