    With so many of the players shorting their names to T-Mac, C-Webb, T-Dunc and even forigners like V-Rad is it appropriate to refere to Patrick Ewing as...

    P-Ewe? (pronounced P-U)

    depending on what your oppinion of Duncan is I guess you could pronounce it:

    T-Dunc (T-Dunck or T-Duncs)

    The K-Thom works alright too. Really, the whole C-Web, J-Dub whatever stuff always seemed stupid to me. Why can't we just call people by their names (except, of course, P-Ew)?

    1st sentence was a good post, second was kinda pathetic.

    Try not to be so antagonistic all the time and you will be a welcome poster.

    What about that Japanese prospect Ikiro Sukiamo? He'd be I-Suk

    And Wesley Person's Brother, David? He'd be D-Per

    Yeah, but considering he is Japanese, it would be pronouced: Ee Sookoo (with the last oo being barely uttered or not pronounced at all). [​IMG]
