    Geezus people, it really gets old and is very insulting. I'm sure 99% of you wouldn't call him that to his face. Ok then.

    I think it's insulting that a 7 foot stiff with man boobs is getting paid around 3 million a year to sit on the bench.

    Agree. I've been guilty of this "ribbing" in the past, but I am "ceasing and desisting." Does anyone know if Amaechi has been slimming down with hard workouts? JVG never mentions him. Is he on the JVG bad list as he was with Sloan?

    I could start calling him John Juggs. Would that be more palatable?

    like codeel said. i never liked that nickname. why insult a person?
    what has he done to deserve that? do not come with the awnser: he is getting payed to much.
    because if that is your awnser you are just jaleous. you would also want that contract and not play. i do not think that if you get that contract offered you will say: well i think in a couple of years i will not play any minute, so give me a contract for just 1 year and play me less :rolleyes:

    Some of the answers you have received realy show that many of the BBS posters are just low class and have street people minds.

    Well, I guess there's nothing more to say about that. Some things will never change. I tried. =/

    Man-boobs! What a great phrase.

    I will stop calling Amaechi man-boobs for good if he gets a dunk this season.

    It's just lame. And has nothing to do with basketball. Nicks like Moochie the "Little Dribbler" and "CUTtino" Mobley on the other hand are critiques.

    Don't forget Cynthia P..er...Cooper! :D

    The worst of all was when Lisa Malosky was constantly bashed for not looking like a power dancer. It's all lame.

    What's funny is the name just comes from one bad picture. I think it was his uniform that just looked funny for some reason.

    I think Franchise's nickname is starting to get old.

    Perhaps Cato can grow a mohawk so we can call him Catomic the Hedgehog? (lame)
