Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

Trevor Mbakwe nickname suggestion

We don't HAVE to have a nickname for Trevor Mbakwe but why not ask for suggestions.  We did this a couple years ago and came away with "DJ Swat" for Damian Johnson an "Absolute Zero" for Al Nolen (we may have had others as well but they didn't stick).

So give me some creative nicknames for Trevor Mbakwe.  My nomination...

    In-N-Out

The California based fast food burger chain known for their fabulous "Double-Double" burgers.  Get it?  "Double-Double"? 

that's my suggestion and I think it is pretty good but as usual our loyal TDG followers will probably come up with something better (and quicker to type).

He does look like he could tear a droid’s arm off after his dunks.

I've already covered this

Reign Man II. He’s exactly like a young Shawn Kemp.

sorry DWG

while I agree that he is very similar to Kemp, nobody wants to be called the second of anything.

Anybody would be thrilled to be called a young Shawn Kemp.

Chewbaka or some derivative

 is a natural fit. Trevor Mbakwe said quickly even sounds like Chewbaka…Chewbaka was a beast, bad-ass….seems too perfect.

I think Reign Man requires explanation to people, which by definition essentially eliminates it, right?

alright

I was really excited when I came up with In-N-Out today but I guess it isn’t as popular as Chewbakwe. Did FBT come up with that?

To the best of my knowledge

I did. I mentioned it at the very beginning of the season. I haven’t seen anyone else use it.

Chewbakwe has my vote

Simple, funny, and fitting! Nicely done Rencito.

MMM...Bak

Said in a manner similar to the famous Hanson song “MMM…Bop”
Chewbakwe is an obvious one, MMM…bak makes ya think a little bit!
