I haven't really paid extremely close attention so please correct me if I'm way off-base, but from what I can gather he has some real maturity issues, too? Maybe he really doesn't give a poo poo.

All of the beat reporters comment on his immaturity.

I'm sorry Mr. Marion, but our new candidate is far more qualified. Just take a look at Kevin Martin's career success from 3.

I feel like Black Mamba still takes the title, I mean I think Kobe started using before the second movie even came out.

Also, when was the last time you thought about Kill Bill, man did that second movie kill all the hype


Also, we should all be glad that none of KD's terrible nicknames ever caught on. Remember The Servant?

Matrix is actually a really good name for Marion. It's an extremely versatile hatchback that carries more cargo than you think it can while still getting great gas mileage. And it had an AC plug back before it was cool. The versatility, practicality, and gadgets perfectly summarize his game

Also, I watched the Matrix on TV the other day, and lemme tell you, Marion aged way more gracefully than the movie did.

What about best nicknames? White Chocolate, probably, but I’m a lifelong Kings fan.

Fultz also looks like he’s just not strong enough yet to have confidence in his jimbo. Obviously he was at some point, but I agree that his shoulder is locked up and he’s just heaving it like I would have to.

One of Jim Pete's top 5 last week was for nicknames. The nicknames had to be liked by the person, and everyone had to use it. Like, "Air Jordan" didn't count cuz nobody called him "Air."
