    Okay espn just gave AB a new nickname... Young Quick!

    What do you think?

    It sounds a little artificial but at least it is original and not self made. Black mamba what a joke!

    Not really feeling Young Quick. It describes him, but doesn't work as a nick name.

    it's r****ded.

    the blur is much better.

    even i can come up w/ a better name than that..

    his new nickname will be "dark matter". why? cuz no one has ever seen it.

    I like how that seemed like a segway into a discussion on Aaron Brooks yet conversely somehow intro'd a monologue on the potency of the Lakers' offense. wtf

    also important to note that apparently brent barry is the only rocket to have game 7 experience. i guess chuck and shane didn't get any PT in that loss to utah a few years back. if you're going to go on national television, atleast try to act like you did some research...

    +1.

    Dark matter is a good nickname - but that requires science literacy to understand just why. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Matter

    Stuart Scott gave him the Nickname, so Hell no.

    Afterburner is fine with me.

    They just said it again on the post game and in the words of Barkley, "turrible.."

    Plus all of the announcers just picked Lakers unanimously.

    LETS PROVE THEM WRONG!

    "Stuyeah" is too annoying for me to adopt any nickname he dishes out. I still prefer my loving nickname "Lil Brick" that I gave him early this season. :)
