WHAT TDHD UP TO THIS POINT

by ny knickerbocker on Mar 17, 2010 4:50 AM EDT

TD on seeing the season's point guard carousel in front of him up this point:

“It wasn’t that tough,” Douglas said of his extended apprenticeship. “I’m mentally strong. If I don’t play, I’m still going to work out, still do what I have to do and get extra work in and stuff like that. All I know is that whenever I get an opportunity, I have to produce.” - NYT

I'm thinking his nickname, after everything we've seen and heard, should be Stance. Any takers?

I mean, come on.

And I'm not feelin Ghostface

he deserves a knickname, not a college one

Anyway, you should check out the movie "Black and White," which actually stars Allan Houston. It’s not a comedy, but rather a really serious and emotional movie. - Wilson Chandler

‘pimp named slickback’ reference?

DWTDD is his nickname.

Ghostface is his alter ego.

Cuz “Tony Stark” reminds me of John Starks, so yea..that stays too.

DWTDD is his name….ghostface is his game.

Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do

i always thought of dwtdd as more of a mantra than a nickname

partly because it’s a complete sentence, but who knows with memes these days.

Yeah

But everybody in the threads calls him DWTDD, mantra or no.

Yea

I mean while TD will always DWTDD, using it as a proper noun makes no sense, especially when uttered and not written. “Pretty” Toney Douglas is not only gangster as fuck, but also easy for the layman, grammatically correct, and able to be used in conjunction with DWTDD. And its got that 70s vibe, IMO, the apex of basketball nicknaming.

Always kinda liked "Clamps"

I’ve seen that one for him before. I understand the others but yeah DWTDD is the mantra and not a proper name. ;)

By the way Seth? Did you send TD his shirt for his birthday? You did say when this started he would get one.

hmmm...suppose that could be difficult. Unless you actually visit MSG occasionally.

Likely best not to send it unannounced in a plain brown wrapper though ;)

Send it to Alan Hahn

and ask him to give it to Toney

how bout this

first person to get a picture with a shirt namesake wearing or holding his appropriate tee gets a free shirt (i.e. bender-legs, toney-dwtdd, clyde-rhymes). you can hold me to it.

im going with

“Sheriff McGruff: The Law Dog” (or “McGruff” for short) because Toney will take a bite out of crime, as well as any defense and necks, if given the opportunity. He doesn’t take nonsense and expects civility and responsibility from those around him. A hero to the children, as they say.

Plus, McGruff is a fucking badass.

For those that don't know, Yo I'm Herb McGruff
