Novak Nickname Final Vote

I like Novakaine, but Trigger sounds like a pretty cool nickname too. IMHO.

 

Novakane (Novacaine) 31

 

Since this poll is such a 50/50 split in the results, how about we meet in the middle.

Supernovakaine... or Novasupa foryou...

 

way to have zero originality fans, way to go. lets just call him steve.

 

Novasupa for you

 

These nicknames are very corny. I'll stick with Steve Novak until Bill Worrell comes up with a name for him.

 

Agreed.

Aren't nicknames supposed to be shorter than the real name, you know, for convenience. These seem longer. And with more syllables.

Actually, maybe saying them both in sucession would work.
Supernova novakaine. Yes. I like it.
Or maybe supernovakainenova. Yes, even better.

 

Maybe Gene Peterson, not Worrell.

Not trying to hate on Worrell but I don't recall him ever coming up with any good nicknames ... calling John Lucas "John John" and constantly referring to his father as "his daddy" gets annoying.

 

I bow to your spelling prowess! Your google beats my google.

Honestly, it's all in fun, anyway. Something will turn up, regardless of what gets the nod here, that'll stick. Hopefully, we'll be numb from all of Novak's treys, soon enough.

 

now now... I loved that call so much I made it my handle

 

I voted for Supernova but still prefer Swish.

 

I just had a stroke of genius. We had Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon, Clyde the Glide Drexler, and now..

(From the same brilliant mind that brought you Brick Novak..)

Spoiler

Steve the Sieve Novak. Cos he drains all those threes. Not bad eh? OK, maybe not

I suspect Novak, success or not, will end his career as one of those players without a nickname. None of the names thrown at him so far seem to stick.. and there have been a lot, mind you

"This kid is crazy 7 for 8 on the day from 3pt land to finish with 25 points, at one point in the fourth quarter he nailed 4-4 from downtown. Who is he?...in Houston they call him "Supernova", and rightfully so because Steve Novak has exploded Houston's 3pt. FG% this year, up 15% from last year."

-Stuart Scott

 

Supernova sounds very cool.

 

wow

horrible selection

who ever voted these names sucks

i gotta go with supernova

 

just make it

the Sniper

or the polish sniper

the other two sound gay

 

Bill called him "3pt Steve" towards the end of the Spurs game.

 

The only nickname I can think of in which he came up with and stuck is Shanghai Shake.

 

Make it simple and meaningful, SUPERNOVA.
