A first shot at Nicknames for the New Kings!

So what nicknames do you think will be used for the four new Kings?

Here is my shot at it:

Tyreke Evans = "Tyreke the Freak"
Omri Casspri = "O.C."
Jon Brockman = "Big Broccoli"
Sergio Rodriguez = "S-Rod"
 
in israel we call Casspi
"the prince caspion" hahahha :D

Welcome, fellow Kings fans from Israel.

I'm sure there will be a lot more NBA fans and a lot of Kings fans in Israel now. I think he is going to be a good player. I see Casspi developing into a tougher and more athletic version of Hedo Turkoglu.

Any videos of his press conference or initial reaction?
 
I thought I heard someone call Tyreke "Turk", maybe they just couldn't pronounce his name. It may have even been Gavin while he was drooling all over himself defending the pick.

With Brockman I keep thinking of either the President or Brock Lesnar. Maybe they can call him the Pres. Or even lamer yet, B'rock O'slamma (or jamma).

I really don't care what their nicknames are if they can play.
 
Tyreke - Tyreke Tyreaks
Casspi - Omri with the Bombri
Brockman - Brock the Hawk

Sergio Rodriguez = Spanish Chocolate (you have to get this one right because he got the nickname as an homage to our own former player, White Chocolate)

The others are equally obvious:

Tyreke Evans = Overripe Kumquat
Omri Casspri = Omri Casspri
Jon Brockman = Petunia
 
Tyreke Evans nickname: Havoc?

I've thought about this even before they decided to put 'Reke Havoc' on a billboard, so I figure I may as well try to take credit for what was an original idea at about 6 pm yesterday.

How about it?
Tyreke "Havoc" Evans.

From his highlight vids, it seems that he can get inside the paint whenever he so chooses, and once he is driving, he can 'reke havoc.'

I dunno, yesterday I almost slapped myself because I thought it was kind of lame, but I feel justified with it now that marketing decided to go ahead and put it on a billboard.

Mods, feel free to add a poll if one of you think it is necessary.
 
venom - I didn't add a poll but I did move your post into the thread already running about nicknames for the new players.

:)
 
Just saw an Evans tweet on kings.com. He kind of likes Reke Havoc. :D

I've never really looked at the Kings players twitters before. Its kind of cool because it doesn't feel so impersonal like when they talk on the camera. I think its funny how Cisco's is all in Spanish.
 
Sergio Rodriguez has already several nicknames. As you said "Spanish Chocolate" is one of them. But also "El Chacho" which in his hometown (Canary Island) is similar to "The men" or "The guy" like "Hey men, whats up?". And he also has the nickname "Mojo Picón" which is the name of a tipycal sauce from his hometown too; it's a hot sauce, "mojo-sauce" and "picón-hot". He prefers these 2 more than "spanish chocolate" ;)
 
First, welcome to Kingsfans.com It's good to see so many new Kings fans joining the fun.

I like the idea of "mojo picón" as a nickname... "And 'mojo's got his 'mojo' on!"

:)

Reke Havoc - Tyreke Evans
Prince Casspian - Omri Casspi
Spanish Chocolate - Sergio Rodriguez
John Brockman - Lazer


existing Kings nicknames?
Speedracer - Kevin Martin ( i also heard someone call him operator before, cuz he is always on the line)
El Flaco - Cisco Garcia
Bjax - Bobby Jackson
Hawes/Hawesome - Spencer Hawes
Shock - Jason Thompson
Kane - Donte Greene

anything else?
 
I like Tyreke Havoc. its clever and just cool.

Lol I like lazer for brockman, it reminds me of Ben Stillers dodgeball team in the movie dodgeball where he names off all his teamates lol. "meet Lazer!, Blazer!"
 
Suprised no one has suggested "Tyger" since he went to Memphis, but I guess "Hugo" or "Havoc" will have to suffice.

Love "Mojo Picon" and "The Bouncer" by the way, but "The Bouncer" sounds like it should be for someone who can jump...
