Kevin Martin leading scorer of the Vegas summerleague

I really like KMart, I was hoping and praying that he would fall to the Pacers on draft night.

We ended up getting my favorite player in the game today, though (<<<<), so it's all good.

Still like KMart, however! :)

Its Special K, not KMart. :)
 
I am sorry, I just can't use that Special K moniker. He likes it, ok. But I have to agree with whoever else it was on here that said it sounded...well, kinda fruity. Something about the word "special". It sounds like a word your grandma uses to describe a cute little boy who helps her with her groceries, not the nickname of a full grown man/professional athlete. In a league populated by The Diesel, AK47, The Matrix and Big Ben, being called "Special"...

So guess I'm stuck with "Kevin" for the moment, although its occurred to me to maybe just go with "K". Except then people might think I was spelling. Or being really lazy with "OK". ;)

Slash would have been a good one -- he was cool back in the day (and I guess is again now with Velvelt Revolver). And besides, Slash sounds tough while also describing Kevin's game. But unfortunately the ship has already sailed -- apparently the kid likes "Special K" so what are you going to do? We've already had a cereal box nickname logo competition, and despite my best efforts to dissuade everybdoy and get them to pick something cool and sexy such as "The Flying Platypus", Special K it was.

But Slash would have been a good one. Need more nicknames like Slash on your team. Slash, and then find a PF named "Bash", another guy named "Mash", "Crush", "Maim"....and our starting center "Disembowel". :D I mean, who would you rather face in a game -- a guy named "Special K" or a guy named "Disembowel"??? :p We could make it like Nene, and require every player acquired by Sacto to get an official name change a a condition of employment. Then we could have the names on the back of the jerseys and have cool boxscores with our starting Fs Bash and Mash, our starting backcourt of Slice and Slash, our starting center Disembowel, and our famous 6th man Flay. :D

Hmm, I'm finding it rather hard to imagine most of our current guys fitting those nick-names, I think some trades might be in order
We could, you know, just call him Kevin;)

You crack me up:D
 
Yeah I was never a fan of Special K...as a matter of fact thats the first I've ever typed it...I always say Kevin...

Special K the actual cereal isn't even good...I mean if your gonna give somebody a nickname after a cereal at least make it a cool cereal...you know how much we'd make fun of Clipper fans or Elton Brand if somebody gave him the nickname Raisin Brand...thats pretty pathetic

;)

Well yes, but my favorite cereal is Cocoa Pebbles and I don't want to see him called that either. ;)

Of course I suspose that still beats being called "Fruity Pebbles"... :p

While I have always liked the name Special K, I do understand the point that, to some, it is too sissified. And, Francisco, calling him The Big Cereal irritates me every time I read it. Then again, that may be your intent. I don't know.

Kevin is really a slashing to the basket type player. Why didn't someone come up with that before? It fits him so well. I will call him Kevin, as I usually do, but if you ever see me use 'Slash' it refers to Kevin as well. :D

A good start would be signing former XFL running back He Hate Me as backup point guard.

If I denied it would you believe me?

It's nothing personal - I'm not trying to annoy you.

My intent is just a satirical comment on how I feel about the "Special K" moniker. And I don't care if Kevin likes being called Special K or not. We assign nicknames to connote a style, an attitude, an outstanding characteristic of a player. I think "Special K" conjures the wrong kind of images - I've said so many times in ways less benign than calling him "The Big Cereal".

I'll stop calling him "The Big Cereal" when everyone else stops calling him "Special K" k?

Okay. Slash it is.:p
 
How bout Nitram for a nickname. (martin backwards) Sounds alright to me.
or Nivek Nitram.

Sounds too much like a sleep aide or an anti nausea medication.;)

Exactly. Nitram will cause so much trouble for opponents this year they will need the nausea medication, hence the name Nitram.
 
I'll go with Slash. I will refrain from using the Big nickname, until someone breaks the peace by using the Special nickname.
 
His nickname will come on its own... lets not force one... This year he'll play alot and it will come you will see.. just be patient :D
