Aaron Brooks calls Doug McDermott "Ray." Why? "I thought that was his name. When I found out that it wasn't, I just kept calling him Ray."

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This is probably the saddest nickname ever. A good nickname comes from a place of fondness, or because you’ve encapsulated a part of someone’s personality. Not because you couldn’t be bothered learning their name.
That said, Doug McDermott does kind of look like a “Ray,” doesn’t he?
Dougie has comebacks, though.
McDermott said he's calling Aaron Brooks "Ron" as payback for Brooks calling him "Ray."
