If it is this circumstantial and mildly difficult to get a nick, then he shouldn't have one. Look how easy it was to tag Cat and Wink.
Lil' E. There's only one Big E, but I'm sure my namesake won't mind too much if Griffin uses something close.
Ill just call him Griff and type EG! I loved Eddie and the Cruisers part 2 Eddie G sounds like a Rapper. Why dont we just call him the Griffinator or maybe the Griffster!?!
I think Garnett already has this nickname, but I sort of think of Eddie as "The Kid," being so young and all, and maybe the Garnett comparisons make it feel right as well. I think it might due for an informal nickname (can nicknames NOT be informal?) until he develops into a player in his own right. Anyway, it makes sense that the kid's low post game isn't a priority right now, but it would be nice to see that develop a bit more before the season ends.
The Griffin or Griff or EG or Spiffy Griffy or Eddie "oh **** you mutha how the hell'd you do that?" Griffin or Eddie! Eddie! Ooooohhh...give it to me Eddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I beleve that the the Rocket Vets have already given Eddie a name. " Yo Rookie, get yer ass over there and pick up them towels."
How about Eddie "Cuttino if you don't pass me the ball I'm gonna knock you the fluck out" Griffin? It has a nice ring to it, and goes along well with his past. J/K, I'd go with EG, the initials will work until he can show us what kind of game he is going to bring.
