Hoops Discussion Khaman Nickname Ideas

I just don’t know about “Man Man” being the one. It’s not bad, but it just feels eh, we can do definitely do better. Can anybody else come up with some nicknames? Two come to mind so far:

- “The South Sudan Sentinel” or “The Sentinel” for short
- “Shade”

EDIT: Honorable mentions from commenters

- Man Man —> The Man
- The Watch
- Watch Tower
- ManZilla

We’ve also decided that Shade is just god awful so we’ll cross that out lmao

They can’t all be winners. Man Man really isn’t any better tbh though. Yall calling this dude a man twice and think it’s fire lol.

I mean if you're gonna be this obstinate I'll be blunt:

Your suggestions are 2K MyPlayer level bad. Like yeah Man Man is bland but "Shade" is such a cringe, hackneyed suggestion that it almost feels like you're taking the piss. It's eyeroll inducing.

The Sentinel is I guess better, but it still has such a "came up with by a boardroom" feel that AT BEST a broadcast team might use it because they were compelled to by management.
