Dan Shanoff took a stab at nicknaming John Wall this morning over at The Sporting Blog. It did not go well:
John Wall Needs A Nickname
↵↵Maybe he is one of those players that is so good, he doesn’t need a nickname. But I’m going to try, in honor of the pop star of the moment: “Ga-Ga.”
↵Because that’s what people go when they watch Wall play.
↵↵Cringe.
↵And it’s “Gaga,” not “Ga-Ga,” assuming he is naming Wall after the eccentric female pop music superstar.
↵So yeah, we need something better. Something befitting of a player who is so dominating, they gave him the No. 1 … twice. Hmm … No. 11 … 11 … Spinal Tap comes to mind. Yes. Spinal Tap. We could name him after one of their songs from the “Smell the Glove” album.
↵Sex Farm? Cups and Cakes? Ohh … how about The Love Pump? Yeah, I like Love Pump.
↵Or, you know, John Wall works too. Just don’t call him Ga-Ga, please.
