    Bat King

    Von Wafer sounds like a character's nick name which is from a famous Chinese Kongfu novel. The full nick name of that character is Wei Fu Wang. It means Bat King Wei.

    "Bat King" would be one of the more colorful nicknames in the NBA, but I'm not certain that English-speaking audiences would grasp the significance.

    ok, it can be tightened up to VW Express

    for younger folks, its a play on the movie with Frank Sinatra called Von Ryan's Express. (1965)

    I vote Von if given that choice. Wafer sounds too much like Rafer.

    V-Dub sucks. Its not original and when I think V-Dub, I think more Nowitzki/Germany and I just wanna puke.

    I'd like to see a more streetball-ish name to match with Rafer's "skip to my lou"..."ring around the rosy" maybe?? :confused: ;)
