Couple new proposed nicknames...

My buddy and I have been rooting the NYK's on extra hard this year. We have come up with a couple nicknames hoping they would catch like DWTDD did with Douglas. Ronnie Turiaf should be called Paris Werewolf in America (or PWWIA).....Bill Walker should be called World War I or World War 5 (cause of his #).....I personally call Shawne Williams Thug Life cause he looks like he's always about to take street justice on a non-suspecting opponent......and finally my buddy calls Felton Pitty Cent cause he's a pitbull mixed with 50 Cent's gangsta attitude.
Big Ups to Justin for the nicknames and for tolerating my over-the-top, gin-induced, 5.6% alcoholic beverage fueled rants during Knicks games....

I'm a give ya both credit for signign on and backin' eachother's play
Then I’m gonna tell you to up the Gin level to catatonic. I don’t like any of ’em myself and already am comfortable with what the other fellas here on P&T have already come up with: Ronnie “Safari”, Bill “Bully”, and Shawne “Extra E”. And “Pitty Cent”?! Sounds more like we should feel bad for the dude. Sorry fellas, but keep posting.

Yeah, and usually nicknames are easier to say than players real names too
I applaud effort though

Nah.
and c’mon now. Ray Felton ain’t a dribble lip. He ain’t got nothing to do with curtis.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I'll take this opportunity to ask why we call Ray "Felt Tip Goose" again?
I really like it but have no idea what it means and must have missed it’s origination.

unless google is lying, those were apparently before my time

Yea man, valiant effort but I'm not really feeling any of them either
World War 5 for bully is ok, but i dont understand it at all.
Curtis wishes he was half as gangster as Raymond. I call Felton “Gristle” (combination of Grit and Hustle), or “New Jack Gritty”, or simply “Ray Gritty”

50 Cent Wishes He Was As Gangster As Raymond?
50 Cent is a top 5 gangstah when it comes to hip-hop. I’m sure Ray Felton is no where near the top of his I-Wish-I-Was-As-Gangstah-As-THAT-Dude list.
Thanks :)

Why am I the only one on this site who: (a) knows what he's talking about; (b) can actually manufacture his own, intelligent opinions; and (c) fits the three qualifications listed above?
well in 2002, where you apparently time-traveled from to get here, Felton was a HS senior so

49 Cent is about as gangsta as deep fried pickles

There is a Top 5 Gangsta List?
Who decides who is on it?
What are the qualifications?
Do they include # of tattoos or #or tattoos per sq. in? (cus, like Curtis Jackson would be DQ’ed…)
No need to Thank me :)

If 50 Cent is on it I don’t see why not.

I like Bulldog for Felton
I suggested it a while back because Larry Brown used it to reference his tenacity. I’ve heard the word used several times when he gets described. I haven’t heard anything better.

well, we already know the knick-names for
extra e, safari, and bully.
and now that safari has christened felton as the “midget general,” that search is over as well. we’re good on monikers here at P&T.
by latrell chokewell on Jan 13, 2011 10:08 PM EST reply actions
That was funny as hell him calling him midget general
but as a fan, and as a lazy-at-times fan, it’s kinda too long! Will anyone kill me if I call him a MidGen!? Gotta keep short for the LazE and drunk people so it rolls off the tongue in a stupor.
I don’t like anything myself we’ve come up with for Landry or Felton like pointed out below by Rorschach44 (Triple Felt Goose?! is that like a triple fanny pinch? – I know. I’m an ass.) If Landry’s parents were bad-ass and bold enuff to call their son Landry Fields, it’s good enuff for me.
Nah..some are what they are
Walker-Bully
Williams- E, Extra E, Poop
Felton-Triple Felt Goose
Gallo-Cock
Turiaf-Safari
Landry-Landry, Danger, Landry Fields
Some like Silent Wil are just used and ain’t really much.
People have their own tho, so to each his/her own.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
more than anyone else
I always imagine Shawne reading this blog

Wilson has a whole bunch of nicknames floating around the internet
“Myriad of nicknames includes Wil, Ill Wil, Kill at Wil, Wil the Thrill, Willie Blanco and Willie McFly”
Silent Wil is cool, but Willie McFly is well… fly.
Nah, Silent Wil
sounds like a serial killer…stone cold. That’s Wil. Silent but deadly. Tho he has added a little swag to his game lately. I really do like the way he does his thing and moves on like it was no big deal.
Also, Silent but Deadly is a decent nickname, especially on this blog.

I kinda like having our own names for dudes.
Makes posts that much more entertaining to read when you come across a nickname that maybe hasn’t been used much, and you still know whom it refers too.

Yep
And I love it when you’re reading other blogs (Alan Hahn, Knickerblogger) and they use a P&T Sponsored Knickname, like DWTDD or Extra-E.

Gallo
Is is just me and where i am in VA.. but when I talk to other knicks fans ( mind you are only talkin about the knicks b/c they are winning now) they call him DINO. Is this something yall have heard too?
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Lol…dino…
I can actually see him running around yapping like dino on the flintstones and licking dantonis face….
It's probably an italian thing. I've never personally heard it, but I could see where it's coming from, I guess.
Unless they really do think he looks like a dinosaur.
Or it might be the "americanized" name.
Its Gallinari, u know, Danillo gallinari, Gallo (Gayo)
“who? Gallo (gallo), Dino gallonari? Yea!.. Dino is a pretty good player man, he came out of no where!”
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Whatever nicknames you got, just use em.
They really can’t be “announced” or it just makes them corny. Just go ahead and use them. Good ones will catch on, bad ones will just be ignored.

I have some nicknames
Bill Walker: The young, athletic chump who can’t shoot but is still very good. We can call him Stud.
Shawne Williams: The dude who stands in the corner, scared to play with the big boys, but somehow always seems to have 5 fouls but somehow “looks like he’s always about to take street justice on a non-suspecting opponent.” to MikeNY. We can call him Assassin.
Turiaf: The ugly guy who can’t score and plays mediocre defense, but relative to the Knicks he looks like Bill Russell. We can call him Mon-Star.
Amare: The athletic Yid. We can call him Jew.
Felton: The ultimate trade bait option who we inflated stats to trade in the future. Call him Bait.
Mozgov: The overrated, overweight Russian who makes 3 million dollars more than he should and thank the lord he doesn’t play. We can call him a Typical Soviet.
Randolph: Potential packed garbage. We can call him NoGood (except for the first round pick he’ll get us).
Chandler: A star in the making? No. We should call him The Guy Who Hits The Side Of The Rim On Straightaway Threes.
Gallo: The Turtle Driver.
We should implement the use of these new, improved nicknames effective immediately. I will make more for the rest of the team some other time. MikeNY, that was an awful try, but we at P&T appreciate the attempt and look forward to better results in the future!
Thanks :)
