I can't wait for his signature dunk... It goes like this... Chase receives cross court pass off a def reb, from the stripe he throws it straight in the air and with his MASSIVE ups he leaps up and volleyball spikes it into the net. Oh, and my vote for nicknames go to 1. Big Red <--strictly if he is a career rocket, but we can always take it away if he leaves. 2. Air Bud <-- almost too obvious.
My friends and I call him HUMDINGER He's just extraordinarily good and hunky-dory I may say.Morey just stole him from 2nd round.Unbelievable move and props to DM,for god's sake,he's improving his defensive skills and learning a lot from Shane.Good sign.
From urban dictionary: Granted its a north-california term, and he's from the south, but this is still almost too perfect. "Bud Dinger".
I don't think we can or should take that from the Gasol family. They worked so hard to make that their own.
I think Clyde already gave him one its: Budinjer I like how last night Bill goes "This Bud's for you" after he made that 3.
Bullard would probably take something from his favorite new phrase for Budinger "Hey Budinger! Let's party!" So maybe Partinger?
