Exactly. Shane Battier does not need a nickname. That's the kind of player he is. Just call him by his name. It's a one syllable word. Easy enough.
His nickname in Memphis was "Citizen Shane" He didn't have a nickname at Duke, though he was frequently serenaded with chants of "Who's Your Daddy! Battier!" from the Cameron Crazies.
Bat ee yae, aka Citizen Shane or Battman (with two t's because his name has two t's). I guess you could use any of Batman's nicknames too - Caped Crusader ... Mr. Lova' lova' ...
Anyone ever notice that he has a wrinkly head? I say we call him Shar-Pei Citizen Shane is good though.
