For me there are three gems to this season so far: I would add Bamba to this list.

The Berlin Bomber if he keeps bombing the threes. Kind of like the Bronx Bomber was Babe Ruth's nickname.

Well...associating bombs with Berlin could possibly be not the most well welcomed nickname by german people...or by anyone who knows a little bit of history :roll:

Bombing threes is a pretty common basketball term tho.

Pretty funny reading the old posts.

I think it was only a couple weeks ago that a couple Warriors fans were over here flexing, after Moody and Kuminga did well in SL.

Also the allies bombarded then Berlin to win the WWII and the city got absolutely destroyed. There is no positive association haha.

I'm surprised no one in the NBA has ever used bomber. Some of the biggest sports icons in other sports have used it. The Bronx Bomber and the Brown Bomber.

David Thorpe on Chad Ford's podcast said he thinks Franz can be Khris Middleton

Just relax, Franz isnt the type of guy who’s going to win ROtY or whatever individual awards, but he’s good enough to lift a team and win games.

a Franz-Isaac-Bamba (if he continues this solid play) combination would be amazing.

Damn it Franz. You proving me right so early in the season.

Ok.. anyone here has a problem with the " FRANZCHISE " nickname? That sounds golden.
