Re: NICKNAME VOTE

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

I've been trying to keep out of this nickname thing, because, it's
dumb, and because manufacturing an artificial nickname  (e.g. "the
answer," "the admiral" etc.) is phony marketing bullshit.  The best
names are ones that teammates make up, like all the years they called
Chris Ford "Doc" after he dunked in a game once.  Or Ken "the animal"
Bannister.  Or Gary "the glove" Payton -- I always liked that.  The
one I like best so far, though, is "the package."  It's cool, and it
gets to the point about Pierce.  Antoine still doesn't have a
nickname.  White Chocolate is so retro, I totally dig it -- too bad
"chocolate thunder, from the planet Lovetron" is taken.
