    I was curious and checked on his current nickname, according to this "ALP" means hero in Turkish:

    Alp (name)
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Alp
    Gender Unisex
    Origin
    Word/name
    Turkic
    Meaning Hero
    Other names
    Related names
    Alparslan, Alpay, Alper

    Although Alp is used as a masculine name in Modern Turkish, it was a title used for both men and women in Proto-Turkic [1] [2] In the Khakas Turkic epic "Khuban Arig", this title represents being brave, valiant, and also having shamanic skills. Alps can travel between the worlds (middleworld, underworld, upperworld), talk with animals, and commune with the spirits of nature.[2]

    In Turkish, "Alp" means "hero" and it has been used as a title, a given name, and a surname.[citation needed] Notable people with the name include:

    Hes just gotta get his fade and shot down for me to go Full Dirk for him. but hes got the feel, the fundamental...So personally I think hes the lost Gasol Brother from a turkish affair from Gasol's father perhaps. No one has confirmed or denied it...Burt steele, Monbair.. pick this rumor up?
