    Nah, no flame is coming. Dr of Dunk came up with "Lazy Eye & Lazy Guy" in the first thread. I thought it's funny, but there is no way this can be marketed.

    I refuse to vote. How come there isn't an "I don't like either one of these" option??? It's like, pick your veneno.

    Can you explain again why you are not considering the most likely moniker of

    McYao ?

    It's simple and effortlessly combines the two names. I think you'll find that this is what commentators will end up using.

    Please read.

    Based on all these complaints, I am thinking maybe we should just adopt the BCS formula to determine the winner.

    Nicknames cannot be predetermined, they have to arise organically. Leave it to the real GP, he will annoint them with the proper moniker when Yao and T-Mac reveal their true nature.

    I really like Might and Magic... except for the fact that Tracy McGrady is no longer on the Magic...

    I voted for Trip Aces.

    He's no longer A magic, but he can be THE Magic.

    BTW, DH, in next round, don't cast your vote too fast, cause your "McDynasty" will be there. ;)

    Do you people know how TMac got his name from?

    If you say Toronto Raptors you are right. TMac came from T-Rex.

    How about giving TMac a new nick name? I like the sound of TMac but it doesn't really represent him like it does to Air Jordan, Magic Johnson, King James or Ming Dynasty. TMac sound too much like representing McDonald.

    I'm thinking if we could come up with some new catchy name for Tracy McGrady:

    The One(because his number is 1) and it has great meaning

    Tracy McGreat!

    TMacNator!

    RockeTMac!

    Well it doesn't really sound better than T-Mac(if Mac mean something like Mach then it would be fine)

    Maybe Mac 11 (something like Mach 11 turbo engine) with the combo with Yao.
