Kevin sort of reminds me a bit of Richard Hamilton, except for the jump shot. Both are wire thin and active as hell on the court...both athletic as hell, too.
This is very odd. I don't seem to ever recall such a desperate race to pin an official nickname on one of our players before. Did Gerald ever get one? Kind of reminds me of the old asian shopkeeper in the movie Tremors who kept on insisting that the single most important thing they could do about the monster worms trying to eat the town was give them a name...right up until the moment one of them ate him. I mean, really now...is it really THAT important???
then you'll feel sorry for the Harlem Globetrotter with that nickname already

Quite simply, we haven't had a draft pick show up with a college nickname that was the same one as an established NBA star's. Some fans want to ID him with a unique moniker. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

When I see "Flash" I think of "all flash and no substance." I'd learn to live with it I guess, but I can't help thinking...
How about "the kid"? He looks about 15, and it'll lower expectations for the rook (if he's Flash, I'm expecting to be wowed). Besides, I think KG's outgrown it.
It's before my time, but I think "My Favorite Martin" would get a few chuckles.
"Bones" is accurate and sounds cool and when he gets knocked down by a charge (at least once per game) we can say, "he's dead, Jim."

Hey, I don't know if this has been posted or not because the article's about 10 days old now... it looks like the Diesel's already publicly using the nickname "Flash" for his new 'son', or so he calls him.
Let's just hope it's another one of those Shaq's one-time statements that will disappear into thin air.. but if it sticks, then we better think of a new name for Kevin.
