Okay, let's get serious about this Novak nickname thing. Let's actually decide on one. If we get a nickname going, I'm sure that it'll get picked up by the general media. And how cool would it be to popularize a moniker.

So here's the rules, write down your two favorite nicknames. After the weekend, on Monday, I'll tally it up and make a poll of the top three selections (or possibly more if some are really close). The winner of the poll will be the official ClutchBBS nickname for Steve Novak. That will be the preferred nickname of the board, and hopefully it'll get picked up by the media at large. Here's my vote:

1. The Rainmaker
2. Swish




For your reference, here's a list of the other nicknames suggested:

macfan, you can vote for two. I think it'll give people a better chance to get one of their choices into the final voting.

Sorry . My vote is

That list about covers everything. How about putting this on the list, from the Robert Redford movie about a man that was born to play baseball or in Novaks case, one of the sweetest shooting strokes seen on a Rockets team.

"The Natural"

Well that seemed like such an obvious joke, that I didn't really want to put it in (along with all the boki jokes, which I also didn't add), but if people really want to vote for it, I'll put it in.

I like "The Natural" and "Novakane".

"Moneyball" isn't too bad either.
