Mario nickname??? 

Post#1 » by Jay-Rod » Sat Jun 27, 2015 10:07 pm

Just wondering if anybody had a good nickname for Mario other than Super Mario. That nickname was already used in the past by Mario Elie, who actually just got hired as a Magic assistant coach. I'm just not a fan of recycled nicknames...anybody got anything???

On a daily basis he's Mario. When he's putting up a sick statline he's Super Mario. Now, when he's in crazy mode and "running over everybody"... Wario?

Whatever happens to the cool nicknames that are not a play on the player's own names? They are so boring, T-mac of the world.
Nicknames like the Dream, Halfman halfAmazing, the Hammer, etc.. are way cooler. Did we run out of them? lol

"super mario" is a boring play on the player's own name but "hakeem the dream" isn't?

...Halfman halfAmazing...


always thought this was a stupid nickname. i'm a big fan of nas, but what does this even mean? wouldn't you rather be all man and all amazing?

...the Hammer, etc.. are way cooler.


andrew declercq's nickname was pretty cool. also very accurate.

...Did we run out of them? lol


still don't know what's so bad about super mario. would you prefer "croatian sensation" instead?

I guess it'll just stay super Mario...seems fitting that it'll stay that way since society is so damn lazy and uncreative to think of something new. Just keep recycling old ideas. Oh we'll, maybe somebody will think of something, I'm out of ideas. Although I did like the Wario idea when he starts playing hard.

Jumpman - that was the name of Mario in the donkey kong games. Beside Mario Chalmers already took the "super mario" name.
