The Greg Oden Nickname Contest
January 24 2007 11:07 PM -- Filed in: Basketball
It occurred to me tonight that Greg Oden does not
have a nickname. At least not one that the public is
aware of and, furthermore, at least not one that has
gained any traction amongst the media. After watching
him put up yet another double-double in Evanston
tonight (17 &17 for your info),
it's apparent that he deserves one. I mean, all
good/great/interesting players have a nick right?
Oden shouldn't be any different. Then, I thought
perhaps he doesn't even a need a nickname. He
could go the first name-only method, much like
other players before him - Larry, Magic, Michael,
Oscar, Wilt, LeBron. But, "Greg" alone doesn't
work. So, I ask you all to offer your suggestions
for The Greg Oden Nickname Contest.
Put on the Chris Berman hat and let your ideas flow. Fill up the comments section below. I'll whittle it down to the 4 best and, early next month, create a poll for final voting. Have at it.
